Michelle's homestay

We are a warm, friendly, active, and welcoming family of three living in the heart of beautiful Central Lonsdale, North Vancouver. We would be delighted to welcome a female international student into our home and make her feel comfortable, safe, and part of our family. Our family consists of me, my husband, and our 25-year-old daughter. We enjoy meeting people from different countries, learning about new cultures, and sharing a positive family environment. We believe a homestay should feel like a home—not just a place to rent a room.
