Description

Greenheart Travel's Independent Homestay Program focuses exclusively on the short-term homestay experience. Participants gain special insight into the host country's society through experiencing daily life, customs, and values.

Welcoming volunteer host families provide room and board and friendship for 1 - 4 weeks. Participants will be received as a member of the family and will be involved in the daily activities of that family. Participants will also have opportunities to go off and explore the host community independently.
