For those of you who dont know very much about Connection, let me start by giving you some background information about it. Connection is a British organisation that facilitates homestays

33、all over the globe. This organisation prides itself on matching tens of thousands of host families with guests every single year, allowing travellers to discover a countrys culture in a way like no other. Homestays are ideal for both travellers and homeowners, enabling inter-cultural exchanges and t

The homestay experience is truly unique and once-in-a-lifetime, and one that you will likely remember for the rest of your lives. It is important to note, however, that some people will find it difficul

36、t to adapt to the new country, with many enduring what is known as culture shock. Connections advice for those suffering from culture shock, is to go out and make as many friends as possible, no matter how difficult you may find it. Friends are guaranteed to help you feel more integrated as part of

37、the local society, and show you some great places to hang out. At first, it might seem extremely challenging to overcome the language barrier between you and your host family; however, you will find that you quickly overcome this and develop a very close and almost familial relationship. Many of our

38、 travellers have suggested that they have found discussing their hobbies and other interests with their host families is the best way to overcome any barriers, since you are more than likely to find something you share in common. For example, you might find that you are both passionate about footbal

39、l, and end up playing in the local field every week.

After the first few weeks, you will find

40、your understanding of the people around you and their culture deepens by leaps and bounds, and you will soon become one of the locals.
