¡La mejor experiencia para empezar! Pasar la semana en la casa de Karen fue exactamente lo que esperaba; ella habla mucho contigo y eso ayuda mucho al vocabulario en inglés. Las tareas para mí fueron ayudar con la limpieza, la organización y a cargar cosas. Ella hizo que las comidas variaran, cambiando siempre el menú. ¡Recomiendo ir en verano! El frío es muy fuerte. Solo tengo que agradecer a Karen y a toda su hospitalidad; la habitación está equipada con todo lo que necesitas.

He pasado dos semanas absolutamente memorables para siempre con la familia de Karen. La habitación en la que vivía era muy acogedora, en una casa increíble y en un vecindario histórico. Siempre me invitaron a cenar con la familia de Karen, y también a otros eventos locales que me permitieron sumergirme en la cultura local! Durante estas dos semanas, ser una de las personas que hacen que la Detroit international house sea más agradable es un trabajo maravilloso!

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.
