Homestay provides countless students from around the world with a place to call home while they study overseas. In her book The Heart of Homestay: Creating Meaningful Connections When Hosting International Students (Page Two Books $24.95), Jennifer Robin Wilson draws from two decades of working in the industry. Through stories shared by homestay families, Wilson illustrates the benefits and challenges that a homestay can deliver for both the resident and international student. She addresses topics like first impressions, cultural differences, communication through language barriers and the hard task of saying goodbye. When Wilson, board chair of her family business Canada Homestay Network, is not serving her community on Vancouver Island she practices mindfulness and yoga, hiking and running for fun. 9781774584989
