homestays out here seem to centre on providing family life, sometimes pretty pricey, for young international non english speaking students. well and good, but homestay in other places means simple one room living, or bed sit. If you can offer an hour of yard help a day, I can provide a stand alone modest trailer for you to live in. Its an exchange worth about $25 an hour and you don't have to search for a job and your travel time to work is 5 seconds. You provide and prepare your own meals in your own kitchen.
