Welcome to Our Family!
We are an active, fun-loving family who enjoys spending quality time together and creating lasting memories. We love including others in our adventures and would be excited to share both American and Brazilian culture with an exchange student.
Family time is very important to us. Some of our favorite activities include walking our dog, going on hikes, exploring local attractions, and taking fun day trips. We enjoy visiting carnivals, concerts, museums in Washington, D.C., the historic Gettysburg Battlefield and Visitor Center, and the zoo. We also love discovering new places and trying new experiences together.
Living with our family offers many opportunities to experience American life. We are within driving distance of exciting destinations such as Hersheypark, one of the country’s most popular amusement parks, and Ocean City, Maryland, where we enjoy occasional beach day trips during the summer.
Our home is also filled with opportunities for fun and connection. We have music equipment, exercise equipment, and a large yard where we enjoy outdoor games and activities. Whether it’s a family game night, karaoke, listening to music, or simply spending time together, there is always something happening.
One of the highlights of our family life is the close relationship our daughters have with their three cousins. Together, these five girls create a lively and welcoming group. They enjoy shopping at nearby stores, getting frozen yogurt, singing karaoke, watching movies, and spending time together. An exchange student would quickly become part of this extended family and friendship circle.
As a Brazilian-American family, we offer a unique cultural experience. In addition to learning about American traditions and daily life, our exchange student will also have the opportunity to experience Brazilian food, traditions, music, and celebrations.
We hope to provide a home where an exchange student feels welcomed, included, supported, and truly part of the family. We look forward to sharing adventures, creating wonderful memories, and learning from each other through this exciting cultural exchange experience.
