About Pat's family
Hosting in Richmond since 2018We are patient, caring, self-discipline and friendly home family! We enjoyed interacting with people from different countries that learned from them and their perspectives, and also enjoyed sharing our Canadian way of life. By living with a home-stay student, we will then be exposed to their culture, traditions, language and way of life. This is an extraordinary opportunity to gain better understanding of todays connected world. We have been in the same situation years ago start a new live in Canada and want to give back after having a life-changing experiences themselves back then. We hope every student stay with us will be filled with happy and fulfilling memories. We are located in Richmond cross section of No.3 & William. Very convenience for shopping & buses, only few steps away! From our home to Vancouver downtown only within 30 min. of public transportation! Check the room and location from our profile, see you are interested to stay with us!
