現在外國大小留學生很多, 找Homestay的供不應求。Like this one “$875 Host Families for International High School Students Needed” and this one “HOST FAMILIES NEEDED FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS ($675-$800)”. You can host up to four students if you have an extra furnished bedroom(s) in your home. Here are some requirements:
1. Reside in or around school area.
2. Provide a clean, furnished, private bedroom w/a bed or a shared bedroom w/two beds. Bedroom has a place to study with a desk/chair & internet access.
3. Home is nearby public transportation, and traveling time to school is no more than an hour.
4. Provide 2 meals per day with self-served breakfast & dinners - 7 days a week.
5. Background check is available upon requested.
You can plan ahead if you 缺錢 or 寂寞 or both.
I know one retired policeman who hosts several students and also do volunteer work for police department.
