Life with your host family

A typical day in our house consists of ... A healthy breakfast taken at the kitchen table (or outside if the weather is nice enough) to start the day.

After breakfast we usually do a few chores such as walking the dog, baking for the coffee van and maybe some light gardening and house keeping.

Stay of 1 week

Stay and first experiences very successful for my 12-year-old daughter with Josy and Sim. She was made to feel confident to speak and understand through multiple activities. They were lovely hosts. We highly recommend a stay with them.

Despite his initial reluctance to make this trip, he came back enchanted and wants to go back!! A big thank y...
