Imaobong
My name is Imaobong, although most people call me Ima. I have been living in the beautiful city of Cork for the past 24 years, and it truly feels like home.

Life with your host family

A typical day with my guest would be warm and relaxed. I would leave for work at 8 am, and there will be food available for them to prepare their own breakfast and lunch. During the day, they can explore Cork or attend activities. In the evening, we would share dinner and chat about their day while getting to know each other better. On days off, I may show them around or include them in social activities, creating a welcoming and supportive environment.
