These days, on unemployment affrights and the risks of recession, people comprise additionally ungenerous about their disbursal, and the non-basic needs are advertised to the bottom of the list. Acquiring a foreign language could be an enriching and extremely valuable attempting which also anticipates numerous benefits peculiarly in terms of ascertaining good-paying jobs in additional countries. But ahead you will be able to reap the benefits; you'd have to learn the language first. Unfortunately, learning a foreign language naturally equates to cost. For example, you can apply in a foreign language class or employ a tutor. In both directions, still, high prices cannot be averted.

Luckily, there is a different way to acquire a foreign language, barely the affordable way, but as well free of charge. What forced out better than that? So what incisively is this direction?

Host & Care bids the promise of interdependent transactions that two humans can enter into.

In that exchange, you bother learn a foreign language free of charge, and all you've to do is allow the foreign language coach to stay at your house free of charge. This is an especially helpful bid for fresh graduates who are anticipating jobs aside from their hometown to find a lot of opportunities. Capable to speak another language but ineffective to find a job easily, people who move to other emplacements often find disbursals as the biggest dispute they face.

Today is December 27, 2009.  I have been trying to plan my life out since I was 10 years old only to find out that the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.   But today I have decided to take a different approach and instead of planning out these intricate plans that life alters at will, I will go with the flow and see where it takes me.  Atlanta has been calling me for years so I have decided to start there.

 So it's not new news: this ongoing recession, crisis, whatever you want to call it is not giving us a lot of hope. Perhaps you've lost a job or feel the threat of a job loss, or maybe you're brand new to the 9-to-5 world and just haven't looked whole-heartedly because you are assuming depressing results. Wouldn't you like to escape for a while? No, it's not impossible. Once you really start researching and brainstorming, you will find yourself becoming convinced that traveling is a fantastic option!

Now's the best time. Jobs come an go; you can look for a job later. Or look for one in your new destination! Where do you want to go? Which places have you only dreamed of seeing? It doesn't have to be a daydream! Chances are there are numerous opportunities waiting for you that can make travel much less expensive than you had originally thought. One of those opportunities would most definitely be a homestay. There are tons of people out there ready to offer you their home in exchange for many options: English tutoring, babysitting, pet sitting, or even a home exchange. You might not even think your place to be all that great, but for someone in your dream destination it's a chance to get away for him/her too!

I received an email just the other day from a friend back home who is a recent college graduate. He, too, believes that this is the best time to take advantage of the slumping job market, and he is getting ready to travel to Patagonia in Chile in a few months. Where is he staying? With a host family! He will be teaching English and living with free room and board while being immersed in another culture and language that he has never experienced. It's an incredibly exciting opportunity. Not only is this the chance of a lifetime, but it will open him up mentally and surely make him more marketable in his future job hunt.

Speaking from personal experience, I can say that host homes are such an amazing way to take in a different culture. You can find yourself with some of the most generous, loving people on earth. When I first arrived in Buenos Aires, Argentina two years ago I knocked on the door of a 60 year old yoga professor. She was to be my host family during my volunteering time in the city. And what an amazing family she was! The first order of the day was to give me a tour of the neighborhood and in time I received random tours of the city from her first hand perspective. We shared our meals together, taught each other vocabulary and phrases from our languages, and learned many things about each other's cultures. To this day, she has continued to be a wonderful companion and I will always think of her as my first friend in this big city abroad.

So go for it. There are many options out there for you. Find what suits you best and go enjoy.

Now is not the best time to be graduating from college.  Unemployment is high - it's hard to keep a job, don't even mention finding a new one!  In slow economic times we need to be creative and look for job opportunities outside of our national borders.  Instead of exploring my options in the United States, I decided to turn devastation into opportunity and realize one of my dreams of living abroad in Brazil. 

Moving abroad can seem like a scary prospect if you do not have a home or job waiting for you.  Fortunately, the job scene is promising for native English speakers abroad.  Also, by using Host&Care you can take away the stress of finding yourself homeless in the streets of Rio de Janeiro, or some other international city.  Host&Care can help you find a homestay abroad that will provide you instant support and shelter in a new country.

I have been living for the past year with a family in Itatiba, Brazil.  Living with a family in a foreign country provides immense benefits.  Instead of shelling out hundreds to thousands of dollars for an intense language school, you learn in your own home at a pace far more intense and rewarding than any school program.  You have daily personal interactions with local people allowing you to incorporate yourself into the local culture.  My favorite aspects to my homestay are learning to cook Brazilian food with my homestay mother and socializing with a large extended family that is incorporated into my life through the homestay experience.

Additionally, you will save hundreds of dollars every month in rent, utilities, food, ect.  You can work out an exchange of services with your homestay family, such as exchanging English lessons for free rent, pitching in with cooking and cleaning for free board.  It's all up to you and your homestay family.

This time of year is especially good for beach homestays in South America.  Our winter is their summer and the beaches are hot, hot, hot!  Brazil celebrates the infamous week of Carnaval every year in February or March.  During this time, Brazilian families flock to beach homes to celebrate Carnaval in style.  If you play your cards right - you could land a beach homestay during the time of Carnaval and experience the street or beach party of a lifetime!


I hope I have given you some reasons to consider a homestay or beach homestay in Brazil (or any other country for that matter).  Through this blog I will continually provide advice on living abroad, finding a homestay and give you insider tips on boosting your income abroad.  Now is the time to be creative and cultivate experiences.  Welcome aboard!
