Homestay Program
Discover the World Through People, Not Just Places
Experience Global Hospitality Through PTPI’s Homestay & International Visitor Program
Step into a world of cultural discovery with People to People International’s (PTPI) International Visitors and Homestay Program. Designed to deepen intercultural understanding and build authentic global friendships, this signature initiative connects individuals and communities across borders.
Whether you’re welcoming an international guest into your home or joining a host family abroad, every homestay offers a rich opportunity to share stories, celebrate traditions, and experience daily life in a new culture.
By living, laughing, and learning together, participants create lasting connections that go far beyond a simple visit—they become part of a global family.
🌍 Discover the true spirit of cultural exchange.
🫶 Embrace hospitality, build lifelong friendships, and help create a more connected world—one homestay at a time.
