My Neighborhood
I live in the Bay Indies Resort Community. Bay Indies is a +55 retirement community. What does that mean? Simply put, owners of Bay Indies homes must be over the age of 55. However, guests of all ages are always welcome. Twice named Community of the Year, Bay Indies has a variety of on-site activities such as billiards, shuffleboard, tennis courts, horseshoe pits and hot tubs, saunas and three sparkling swimming pools to keep you entertained.
Additionally, there is a two mile hiking path that circles the resort community. There is always something to do here.
About Me :)
After teaching adult learners for twenty-five years in Minnesota, I decided to escape the cold and move to paradise, otherwise known as Florida. Last December 24th I loaded up my car - and a not very happy Mazi and moved to my new home.
It has taken me a little while to get organized, but now we are ready to invite you to spend some time in paradise. If you are interested in spending a few days or longer in paradise, please request my pre-home stay lesson.

How It Works
What is the Cafetalk Homestay Program?
For the first time ever, you have a the chance to live the lifestyle of that tutor whose lessons you’ve always been taking. What sets Cafetalk’s homestay program apart from others is that we know our hosts (the tutors) very well. Rather than accepting applications from people who want to become hosts, we invite trustworthy tutors to join the program after we’ve thoroughly gotten to know them. The biggest difference is that you and the tutor can get to know each other on a personal level before your stay.
Not sure which city to choose?
You can take it easy in the countryside, or experience a whole new different lifestyle in the city, or you can even stay in a city where two different cultures are mixed together. If you’re not sure which destination suits you best, or would like to learn more about the tutor and their lifestyle before making your choice, please book a counseling session.
How to Apply
Once you have decided on a program and your desired dates, please click on the application button at the bottom of this page, fill out all the required fields, and send.
We will double check the dates with the tutor and contact you with an estimate. *Please note that if you are not already one of the tutor's students, you may be required to take a home stay counseling session or a pre-home stay lesson.
