Homestays are becoming more and more popular, and people around the world are offering their homes as hotels. Homestays offer cheap places to stay and the chance for guests to see the area like local people. " They are very popular with students who want to stay in another country and learn a language. We asked three families who run homestays to tell us about where they live.

The   Atal family Our family home is in the   north of Nepal, in the Himalayan Mountains, in the village of Manang. The   village is small and quiet. It is a very friendly place. The mountains are   very beautiful, You can go for long walks and swim in the rivers, but there   are no shops, cinemas or café.

Kate and Julian Foxton Our two-bedroom house is by   the sea in the southwest of England. It is 15 minutes' drive to the nearest   village of Portreath. There are lots of beaches, rivers and forests, and it   is very quiet. We spend a lot of time reading books, watching films and going   for walks. Our area is great for sports like swimming and mountain biking.   There are no buses or trains here, so it can be difficult to get around   without a car.

Chafic   and Aline Halwany Our home is near the   historic city center of Beirut, Lebanon, a large city in the Middle East.   There are lots of cafe and restaurants, which are open late at night. We love   it here because it's so friendly and you can always find what you need. Lots   of people can come here to learn Arabic and French. There are also a lot of   jobs and businesses here. However, it can be noisy at night and there is a   lot of traffic during the day. The best thing about Beirut is the weather. It   is nice all year round; it rains in the winter, but there is no snow.
