About Us

aycaramba.gifHello
It is always exciting to receive a new application.
I am Arie van Vliet and I am the volunteer Vice-president-Communication (I send the e-mails) and chauffer for Homestay Calgary.

My goal is to make the expression "ay caramba" popular in Korea and Japan. It is a Spanish expression used mostly in Mexico meaning "oh, dear", "oh, my goodness", or "oops".

I am a Canadian originally from the Netherlands. I enjoy sending and receiving e-mail. My wife Carrie (volunteer homestay co-ordinator) and I enjoy meeting new arrivals at the airport and introducing them to their host families.

We try to provide families that are friendly and kind. That make you feel welcome and comfortable by treating you like a family member.

Our homestays are carefully chosen by visiting and interviewing them on behalf of the students.

Calgary is the home of the world famous cowboy festival called The Calgary Stampede. The entire city dresses up like cowboys and there are free stampede breakfasts in various locations everyday. It is held in July for a 10 day period.

We hope you enjoy the Calgary atmosphere with our homestay families.
