La meilleure première expérience ! Passer la semaine chez Karen était exactement ce à quoi je m'attendais. Elle parle beaucoup avec vous et cela aide énormément le vocabulaire anglais. Les tâches pour moi consistaient à aider à nettoyer, à organiser et à transporter des choses. Elle a fait en sorte que les repas varient, changeant toujours le menu. Je recommande d'y aller en été ! Le froid est très fort. Je dois juste remercier Karen et toute sa hospitalité ; la chambre est équipée de tout ce dont vous avez besoin.

J'ai passé deux semaines absolument mémorables pour toujours avec la famille de Karen. La chambre dans laquelle je vivais était très confortable, dans une maison incroyable et dans un quartier historique. On m'invitait toujours à dîner avec la famille de Karen, et aussi à d'autres événements locaux qui m'ont permis de m'immerger dans la culture locale ! Pendant ces deux semaines, être l'une des personnes qui rendent la Detroit international house plus agréable est un travail merveilleux !

Karen and her family are incredibly kind and welcoming. They introduced me to many events and attractions in Detroit, allowing me to learn more about the local culture. Karen is a fantastic storyteller, and listening to her is truly a pleasure. Karen's family is also amazing at cooking! I enjoyed so many delicious meals here, and they are always open to trying new foods. Sharing meals with them has been such a joyful experience. The place I stayed was also very convenient, and the work was not hard. Overall, I absolutely loved my time here and hope to visit Detroit again in the future!

The experience was very positive. First, because I had more effective contact with the English language, which was my main goal when it came to improving my conversation skills. Second, because Mrs. Karen gives us the necessary support so that the volunteers feel comfortable and can enjoy their stay. Additionally, she always tried to show us what the city had to offer and always tried to provide the home the opportunity to participate in cultural and entertainment events. Finally, I was very happy to be volunteering at the Detroit International House and of course, Mrs. Karen is a great person!

This is my first time traveling by myself and being a worldpacker. Karen and Ken treated me well and took me to many places that only the locals know. I had many first-time experiences in Detroit, including outdoor meditation, visiting an art museum solo, joining a block party in the afternoon, and biking around the island. For the working experience, Karen always taught me patiently so that I could understand the tasks. Overall, I had a wonderful time in Detroit and would highly recommend everyone stay with Karen's family in their lovely house.
