Homestays Are the Best Accommodation Option
A homestay has many more benefits than just renting a place just for yourself. It helps you to really immerse yourself in the culture of the country you are travelling to. It gives you access to a source of information that you might not be able to find anywhere else.
The family I lived with gave many advice and recommandations I wouldn’t have gotten if didn’t chose this type of accommodation. I truly think that for a long stay, it enhances your travel experience.
If you’re toying with the idea of staying in a homestay, you’re probably thinking to yourself ‘Who exactly stays in a homestay? Is it suitable for my trip?’. Homestays suit all types of travellers.
Moving to another country can be an overwhelming experience. On arriving you’re in unfamiliar territory, and if you’re on your own, or with your other half, it can be intimidating at first. Homestays offer that extra bit of familiarity which other forms of accommodation can’t.
Your host will be able to give you tips on you what parts of the city are suitable for settling down in long-term, how to find a job, what are the best things to do, what are the best ways to get around, where and what are the best restaurants and more.
To truly get an understanding of a language you really need to immerse yourself in the destination and the culture. This means going beyond attending your classes and trying to use it when ordering a slice of pizza.
You need to speak it 24/7, you need to learn and experience the culture and you need to surround yourself as much as possible with native speakers of that language. A homestay provides all this and more.
A year or semester abroad when you’re in college can be one of the most exciting parts of your studying years. You know you’ll be going back to the place you call home, but you also know you’re about to experience what it’s like to live in a different country, possibly for the first time in your life.
Exciting? Yes! Daunting? A little! If you want to eradicate any apprehension from your experience, staying in a homestay is a good way to achieve that.
Homestays are genuine homes. They’re places that have families, couples and other people who are the hosts and they’re waiting to welcome you to really, really offer you that home from home. So if you’re in the middle of a round-the-world trip, if you’re on a gap year, or you simply haven’t stopped travelling for the last three years, I think you’d like a homestay.
Are you planning a trip to one of the world’s top cities to run a marathon? Or maybe it’s rugby you follow? Or perhaps you’re in the early stages of planning a two week trip drinking Pimms and eating strawberries and cream ?
In this instance, a homestay is the perfect form of accommodation for you. Likewise, for other sporting events, conferences and even festivals – a homestay will provide those homely comforts that will be very welcome after a tiring day.
Some would argue that travelling solo is the best way to see the world. I’ve travelled solo and can say it’s a good way to travel. There are certain things you miss though – a familiar face, sharing a meal and having a chat about your day. Stay in a homestay and your host can provide all this and more.
Immerse yourself in the culture of the country you are travelling to.
A homestay has many more benefits than just renting a place just for yourself.
