🏠Did you know you can host international students in SG?

What it usually looks like:
• students from 100+ countries
• stays from 2 weeks to 1 year
• usually 1–2 students per home

It’s about helping people discover Singapore and meeting the world along the way. Most of it happens between routines: chats, shared meals, and figuring things out together.

Could be for you if you:
• have a spare room
• are okay sharing space
• enjoy cultural exchange
