HOMESTAYS
A YFC homestay is totally unique. It allows you to experience a totally different way of life by living it.
Trips last from two weeks to three months and you will stay in the home of a member of a rural youth organisation in the country of your choice. It’s a great way to make new friends and experience rural life in a different country - but be prepared to get stuck in to get the most out of your trip!
Applications are now being accepted for 2017's trips. Read more about next year's adventures and see which ones appeal most to you.
Once you have picked your top three choices, simply download and fill out aHomestay Application Form.
"Some people wondered why I wanted to go on a trip through YFC Travel and stay in somebody else’s home. It’s a fantastic way to experience another country and the host club that you stay with takes you to the best places in the area and really looks after you while you are there. I’ve experienced this in Australia and in Scotland and really recommend you give it a go!”Nicola Chegwidden, Cornwall FYFC
