Homestay in カナダ, モントリオール

Hello….

We welcome you to our home. We have two bedrooms that are shared with the family(This school year my contact page we are only accepting 1 student in a room in our apartment). We also have a self contained one bedroom apartment for rent. The one bedroom comes with electricity, is heated and with wi-fi. The apartment has a separate entrance, a stove and refrigerator as well as an en-suite bathroom. In general we do not provide meals for the apartment rental.

We are an Anglophone family of South Asian and American heritage. My 2 younger children attended French school so are perfectly bilingual. We are a cosmopolitan educated family as I was raised as part of an international community of the United Nations. I work at a college downtown Montreal, as an Education Advisor. In this capacity, I work directly with students who are seeking help in implementing positive study strategies, who need assistance in developing their English language writing skills and those struggling with academics due to learning differences. My older daughter graduated from McGill University with an Honors degree in Political Science and East Asian Studies (Mandarin language) and is in graduate school at Carleton University studying International Affairs. My younger daughter graduated in May from McGill University with an Honors degree in Psychology, with a minor in Gender, Sexuality, Feminist and Social Justice studies. She is woriking as a profile coordinator with Native Women Quebec.

We are located 20 to 35mins from Centreville (downtown) by public transport, 12 minutes by car. There are multiple grocery stores a short walk away, as well as a large shopping mall. Public transportation is very regular (every 3-5 minutes) and easy to access. We are close to many houses of worship- a beautiful Gurudwara and multiple churches of different denominations.

Why we enjoy hosting :That’s easy, We know that we have much to offer to someone coming to this country and in need of the support and friendship of family. We are flexible and adaptable and wish to share our experiences with others and have them share theirs with us. As a family we are firmly committed to the positive aspects of interactions between people of different cultures and traditions. Our family has been hosting individuals since 2001 while we still lived in NY. I have been hosting student since my years in graduate school. We hosted several study exchange students while we lived in China as well. Because of our international and intercultural experiences, on any given day we might be eating American, French, Italian, Korean, Spanish, Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, Indian, Nigerian, Mexican etc. and we enjoy the openness to other gormandic experiences. An openness and interest in global cuisine will enable you to truly enjoy the food culture at our home.

About us: As a family, we hold education in high esteem. I hold a Doctorate in International Education and Global Development, as well as three Master’s degrees in: Teaching English as a Second Language; Social Studies Education; and Intercultural and Diversity Training. To illustrate to you a little about our long term commitment to international education and understanding: I received a National Endowment of the Humanities award to study the Arts, Film and Literature of Africa. I was also awarded a Fulbright grant to China to study the Teacher Education methodology, history and literature in China. As well, I received a Korea Foundation International Fellowship travel and study award to study in Korea for three months. I received this award for my conflict resolution work with the Korean and African-American/Hispanic communities in New York City.

Our interests and hobbies :Wow… now that’s where we have a broad range of interests. We love trying new dishes- both eating them and cooking them. My daughters are excellent chefs and bakers. We enjoy cake decorating and crafts. We make jewelry which is sold to support Palliative care activities, and an organization my daughters founded called "Children Helping Children". More recently, my daughters also founded an organization named "Brown Women's Empowerment Sisterhood" (BWES). BWES is an intersectional feminist organization supporting BIPOC women.

We try to attend cultural events such as the theater, from museums to immigrant cultural festivals and we like to share this with our home stay students. We also enjoy quiet times at home, watching movies and reading. I have a passion for gardening and having fresh homegrown vegetables in the summer. Our family adores camping and camping with us is an awesome experience.

Countries we've visited: I have traveled to almost every continent, and lived in many places. Places I have lived…Botswana, Nigeria, Swaziland, Ghana, Chad, Fiji Islands, Sri Lanka, India, China...let me not forget Canada and the US. I was fortunate that my parents took us to at least two new countries to visit every vacation, thus I have been deeply exposed to other cultures and traditions. I endeavor to continue to travel with my children in the effort to expose them to other cultures and traditions. They lived for 3 years in China, and traveled to Sri Lanka, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, Mexico, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico Germany, Belgium, Switzerland and many other European countries, as well as travelling extensively in the United States.
