What is Homestay?...............................................................................

Homestay is living with a local family. It is an excellent form of both short-term and long-term accommodation convenient for students and tourists alike.

You get to stay at a Korean home, spend time with the members of the family, go sight-seeing, shopping, or dining together, just as if you were staying with a friend! Homestay is done for non-commercial purposes, unlike hotels and guesthouses.

We will be happy to help you find the best host family so that you could see the real Korea and the everyday life of the Korean people. Located in very convenient places our hosts are waiting for you to become a member of their family!

The primary aim of Homestay is to let you experience and understand other cultures. Our program provides a great opportunity to learn about Korea, to get to know the people, their traditions, the lifestyle that often remains hidden from foreign eyes.

We guarantee a safe living environment and a unique chance to practice the language on a daily basis. You can get a first-hand experience of Korean culture, cook Korean food, and participate in the authentic rituals of a normal Korean family!

 * The best way to learn

about Korea Koreans are very hospitable people.  They will accept you in their home as a member of their family and will be happy to teach you their ways. In Korea you will never feel a stranger at a host's home. The hosts will take you sightseeing and shopping and they will help you adapt to life here in the shortest time possible.

* Secure living environment

Homestay is probably the safest form of accommodation. Since you live as a part of the family, you will be required to inform your hosts if you intend to come back late or spend the night out. They will know your usual schedule and check if everything is alright with you whenever they feel worried, just as your own family would do. They will also always be there for you in emergencies.

 * Language practice

 What better way to improve your Korean than living in a Korean home. Actually using the language on a daily basis will improve your communication skills much faster than learning from books. Practice the grammar you learned at school by talking to your host family and ask them whenever you do not understand certain phrases or slang.

* Lower cost

The fee for Homestay is considerably lower than for most other forms of accommodation. There is no key money, no extra payment for household bills, television, or internet, and breakfast is included in the price. What hosts accept basically covers their expenses for supporting you as another member of the family.

 * Making friends

 Staying in a foreign country is always a difficult and lonely endeavor. Many foreigners in Korea suffer from depression when living by themselves. Your hosts will give you the feeling that you are not alone this far from home. They will be there to hear you out whenever you feel upset. They will help you with all the frustrating little problems a foreigner encounters in Korea and usually needs a lot of time and effort to solve on one's own. In addition, while Koreans tend to socialize primarily with people they have known for a long time, such as family and alumni groups, many the hosts will have children your own age, so you will have very close friends in Korea in an instant.
