Homestay Testimonials
Fun on the Central Coast
It has been so awesome to watch Lena and Sarah explore California and soak it all in. They really do become like part of your family. Hosting is a challenging and rewarding experience. You don't just learn about a new culture, you learn a lot about yourself."

Good Food and Great Friendships
"Because Changyu (James) is a photographer aficionado, we enjoy seeing all the pictures he is taking. He is also taking pictures of the school's football team. It is nice that he and Kennedy, our other international student, are doing things together, like getting ice cream after dinner, or just sitting in the front yard with our dog enjoying the outside."

A Trip to the Big Apple
"On Friday, we were talking about dreams and never giving up, when one of the girls said, 'I already wanted to go to NYC.' After checking the weather and bus/hotel availability, I told them, 'you better prepare a bag for a weekend because we are going to NYC tomorrow.' That is what happiness looks like."
