Homestays bring the journey to life

Experiences as unique as each homestay family

Amazing accommodations: Not "Where", but "Who"

Bee Global views accommodations as much, much more than simply a place to rest your head. Whether we realize it or not, where we stay has a huge impact on the quality of our journey. Opportunity for maximizing our immersive experience abounds in the form of homestays with our network of host families throughout China.

Homestays provide depth of experience offered by few, if any, alternative accommodation providers.

After 6+ years working closely with families throughout China, BEE has built some superb relationships with many homestay families. These families' warmth, sincerity, and hospitality allow for a very unique educational opportunity. Homestays provide a "full taste" of real Chinese culture that is lost on "standard" travel trips or tours. Engaging with real people in daily living is the glue that binds the entirety of the journey together, helping to "connect the cultural dots", and make the experience deeply impactful. The feedback we receive from students who have enjoyed a homestay resoundingly confirms this perspective.

Homestays and authentic personal interaction "glues" the trip components into an impactful, cohesive experience
