Virtual Chat with local host

This unique programme offers students of all ages a safe, fun, and exciting opportunity to connect and engage through a virtual chat with a homestay host.

It’s an innovative way to experience meaningful cultural exchange without the need to travel.

In times like these, when some of you are unable to explore new destinations or meet local people across the UK and Dublin, Hosts International is proud to offer you the chance to enjoy a virtual chat with a homestay host from the comfort of your own home. This initiative allows you to immerse yourself in the local culture while improving your English language skills.

We will organise for you to connect and speak with a friendly local homestay host, giving you the perfect opportunity to practice English and discuss topics such as travel, hobbies, locations, or even everyday life. A virtual chat with your host also lets you learn more about their lifestyle, family, and community while keeping your enthusiasm for cultural exchanges alive.

You’ll have the chance to enjoy a 10-20 minute video call with a host, their family, or even children of a similar age. It’s a unique and personal way to discuss shared interests, exchange ideas, and build connections across the world.

This experience could inspire you to plan a future trip and even choose to stay with the same host when travel becomes possible again. By starting with a virtual chat with a homestay host, you’re opening the door to potential friendships and enriching cultural experiences that will last a lifetime. Contact us for any questions!
