Homestay is when you stay in someone else's home, like a family or an individual, instead of staying in a hotel or other type of accomodation. When you homestay, you get the opportunity to live like a local, meeting the people who live there and experiencing the culture and lifestyle of the area. It can be a great way to explore a new place or connect with people you may not have otherwise had the chance to meet. It might also be cheaper than staying in a hotel.
