Homestay in North Vancouver, Canada

Welcome!

Hi, my name is Helena, and I’m excited to open my home to international students looking for a safe, comfortable, and supportive place to stay while they study here. I live here with my small dog called Lily who is 13 year old (almost 14) - she is much like a cat and likes her own space by the window.

My home is very special to me, it is spacious, clean and stylish. The homestay room has a queen bed, fresh bed sheets and bath towels in the closet. Lots of space for your belongings, ceiling fan, A/C, TV with Netflix and Amazon Prime. The homestay area will be semi-private with your own entrance and bathroom. Laundry is in the apartment in the front hall.

I have decided to run a homestay because I enjoy learning about different cultures and sharing my own. I also like meeting new people and creating a welcoming environment for students who are far from home. It’s always rewarding to help someone feel settled and supported as they adjust to a new country.

I have just started hosting however I have lived in many different countries, travelled lots and used to work for a middle eastern airline in my early 20s. I’ve traveled myself to places like Hong Kong, Vietnam, Thailand, Taiwan, north, west and some southern parts of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, a few countries in Africa and the Middle East. I understand what it’s like to be in a new country, and I try to make my home a space where guests can feel comfortable and at ease.

Right now I am working remotely for my family owned company. I am also learning the Italian language to soon study some art in Italy.
In my free time, I enjoy creating art, cooking, hiking, yoga and puzzling. I’m also involved in a yoga and pilates community and the Italian Cultural Centre. I know lots about indoor and outdoor activities in Vancouver - I am happy to give some tips if needed :).

House Rules:
