We coined the phrase Homestay For Life for the friendships we have initiated and have maintained with our international guests through the years. Homestay For Life is an accommodation and student service provider which began in our home in 2003. We realized early on that we did not merely rent rooms to people but developed and nurtured friendships for life. My wife and I are a diversified couple who love to travel and have seen most of the world. We understand and are sensitive to foreign cultures and welcome the diversities and customs of international guests. We decided to start a service by offering private bedrooms in our own home to tourists, interns and students. Then shortly thereafter, we began building a network of locations in Manhattan, Queens, The Bronx and Westchester County for additional travelers with our friends and neighbors who too realized the enjoyment and benefits of hosting visitors in their own homes. Our service is growing rapidly with new student arrivals, new host families, and partnerships with schools and agencies from around the world. We welcome our new guests to New York and the beginning of a friendship for life.
