After the pandemic, it has been quite a while, corporate professionals are mostly working on online platforms being bound inside the four walls of their homes. Recent surveys show that this has resulted in boredom, depressions, and relationship complexities among them, which is alarming. To break this monotonous pattern, homestay owners are providing long-stay options for working couples and freelancers.

Here are a few reasons why living in a homestay is perfect for corporate couples, creative professionals, and freelancers for longer stays.

• Price: Most people choose homestay over a traditional hotel mainly because of the two reasons, homely atmosphere and price. Comparative to traditional hotels which generally provide bed and breakfast facilities, homestays are much cheaper options where one can get all meals along with accommodations. Rates in homestays are easy on the pocket and always value for money.
• Food & Hospitality: Hotels are impersonal whereas homestays always have a personal touch of hospitality, where you will always get a personal host to look after along with healthy home-cooked meals. These days, homestays are also providing optional kitchen facilities with self-cook options, in case, one is interested to cook their own meals.
• Privacy: If you are an artist, a programmer, or a creative person and want your creative juices to flow, your most important needs are privacy and peace of mind. Homestays are mostly situated in small villages, countryside, farmlands, and orchards and have ample peaceful ambiance where you can work and also watch the distant snow-clad mountains, dancing waves of the majestic ocean, or vibrant jungles. Your homestay owner will always adjust the meal timings according to your comfort and respect your privacy.
• Localize: When staying in a homestay for a longer period of time, you will be a part of the host family that will give you ample scope to mingle with the locals and actively participates in local festivals, communal gatherings making you a part of the village you are staying. You will get to know the place thoroughly and always get the chance to travel beyond the popular tourist trails. This will make your off-days full of fun and activities and will surely benefit you both physically and emotionally.
• Organic living: Most of the homestays provide organic food which is supplied from their personal kitchen gardens, farms, and poultries and is always freshly cooked. When you are staying longer in a particular homestay, you will eventually get to know about local herbs, spices, wines, and medicines.
• Freedom: You can always choose to stay at a particular place as long as you want. Most homestays offer long stays or workstations on a monthly rental basis and once your gypsy soul is bored with a particular place and has covered the nooks and corners of that area, you can migrate to a new place of your choice.
• Bonding: You will always develop beautiful relationships not only with your host family when you are on a workstation, but you will also develop nurturing social connections out of affection, trust, and emotions with beautiful people while staying in multiple homestays in different villages and terrains.
• Human connections: If you are from disturbed family background and looking for a loving and nurturing stay, homestays are the best options. Unlike hotels, where it’s all professionalism, receptionist and waiters, in homestays you will get to stay with real, genuine people getting to know their real-world, their life thoughts, problems, and life hacks. You will also get to share your stories, once you are comfortable and connected, giving you nurturing relationships that will not only live in your memories but in your heart.
• Learning new languages: While staying in a homestay for a longer period of time will help you understand and learn local and tribal languages, which can be wonderful. You can also volunteer to teach the locals and children when you are having off-days or just participate in social activities and even organize medical camps, hygiene and health camps, etc and satisfy your social responsibilities.
• Worry-free lifestyle: While staying in homestays, unlike your home, you will never have to worry about household chores, laundry, and groceries which can save your precious time. For corporate couples, this can be great as they rarely get time from their busy office schedules to spend time with their partners while staying at home and working. For creative people, this can add more time for their artistry and ingenious creations.
