Timezone

Check your current timezone with date in the command line. You should get something like this. Fri Oct 3 10.32:13 UTC 2014 where UTC is your current timezone.
To change your timezone just run sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata and follow the instructions. Easy!
Check the timezone again with date. Now your timezone should be in this example CEST

Locale

Homestead provides an Ubuntu System and has by default only english locales installed. In PHP locales are important if you work for example with strftime. Check the currently installed locales with locale -a. To add a new locale, you have to generate it. For example for a german locale enter sudo locale-gen de_DE.UTF-8
