Do I take my student out to dinner, on excursions and on family trips?
While we want you to include your student as much as possible, you do not have to include them in everything.
We ask that you include your student as much as you like, but you are not obligated to include them in everything. The host stipend will help cover costs, but just talk with your student ahead of time about any extra entertainment or travel expenses. Typically, the student would pay for anything that is outside of the homestay hosting agreement.
