| book description |

Every year, thousands of students from around the world come to Canada, Australia and the U.S. for an immersive, educational experience. Helping them to get the most of their overseas adventure are the homestay families who open their hearts and homes to these students. But what does it take to have success as a homestay family? Is it safe? Is it worth it? If you have questions, this collection of stories and guidance has your answers. In The Heart of Homestay, Jennifer Wilson draws on her two decades of experience working in the homestay industry to provide an honest and comprehensive portrayal of the homestay experience. By sharing real stories from a vast network of homestay families, Wilson shows the benefits of bringing an international student into your home while also being real about the challenges that can arise. From first impressions and settling in to navigating cultural differences with compassion, communicating through language barriers, and what to do when it's time to say goodbye, Wilson guides you through countless scenarios to bring you closer to the experience. No matter what stage of the homestay journey you are in, this book is a resource you will return to again and again. And youâ€™ll learn that while there is a lot to consider when choosing to open your home to a stranger, once you do, your family will grow further abroad than you ever imagined.
