Servas Host

 

Would you like to offer hospitality and friendship to travellers of any ethnicity and culture?

Are you willing to share your home and your experience with visitors, to help enrich your life and others?  If so, consider becoming a Servas host.

A host should provide a bed for two nights (or longer, but only at the host's invitation) and hopefully invite the traveller to share in the evening meal.

 

Becoming a Servas Host

Are you:

  • 18 years of age or over
  • Open-minded
  • Reliable
  • Someone who is comfortable opening their home to new people of different backgrounds and cultures
  • Able to provide a bed (or even a couch) and a meal to Servas travellers for a minimum of two nights

Host Responsibilities

  • Respond promptly to letters from travellers
  • host may decline a request if it is inconvinient
  • may suggest alternative hosts in the area
  • when traveller arrives, asks to see Letter of Introduction
  • explain the rules of the house to the traveler
  • set aside some time to talk and visit with traveler

Hosts who are not able to provide overnight accommodation may still join Servas as Day Hosts. A Day Host will find a convenient time to meet the traveller, may provide information or a guided tour, or a work-place visit, a meal, or just find time for a chat.
