“I learned a lot of things from my exchange year. I can handle problems by myself, I am more open with people that I don’t know and the people that I do know. I learned a lot about American culture and a lot about life!”

“I couldn’t have asked for anything better, and I feel so lucky. I will, no doubt, be coming back!”

“I get to meet some of the world’s most awesome teenagers, and I get to know wonderful families who live in my own community. I see their relationships blossom into lifelong friendships. It really does change lives!”

“Our daughter and our exchange student Sarah have become the very best of friends – as if they were naturally born sisters!”
