This article is the result of the meeting of two ethnographic researches in progress. One is about the Timorese in study in Portuguese and Brazilian universities under the logic of hospitality and the other on the notions of houses and sacred houses in East Timor and the ways in which they are articulated to give meaning to the dynamics of social reproduction. This article intends to present and discuss the cultural meanings of the Timorese house, as well as the way in which students abroad conceptually construct and construct their “houses”, that of East Timor and the place where they live during their superior courses, besides the connections which they establish between them. To this end, brief digressions are made on the relations between students’ feelings of belonging and place, linking the construction of their own identities with that of Timor-Leste, in a process of nation-building and the feeling of feel at home (chez-soi).
