About Me
Hello, I’m Sherry Liu,
Founder of Sunshine Homestay. My journey began years ago when I arrived in the United States as an international student. Moving to a new country was both exciting and overwhelming, but the kindness and support of my host family made all the difference. They didn’t just give me a place to stay—they provided me with a second home, helping me navigate cultural differences, improve my English, and build confidence in this new environment.
​
Inspired by my own experience, I created Sunshine Homestay to help other international students find the same comfort and support I was fortunate enough to receive. Our goal is to ensure that every student who comes to Florida can focus on their studies while enjoying the warmth and hospitality of a loving host family.
Our Mission
At Sunshine Homestay, our mission is to create a warm and supportive environment where international students can feel at home while pursuing their educational dreams in Florida. We believe that a positive homestay experience goes beyond just providing a place to sleep—it’s about fostering cultural exchange, building lifelong relationships, and offering a true sense of belonging.
