What a wonderful experience with this family! 🤲🏻

They were incredibly warm and welcoming, and the work was easy and relaxed. I helped a little around the house, gave some English lessons to their son Qinhao, and went on a few outings with him. He is such a lovely kid, and I already miss him haha!

I would definitely recommend this experience if you want to experience life with a real Chinese family while still having your own independence.

I had a wonderful experience staying with Shihang, Fang and Qingao in Beijing! From the very beginning, they made me feel very comfortable and treated me not only as volunteer, but as friend. Living with them gave me a much deeper experience of China than I could have had as a tourist. I learned a lot about Chinese culture, family life and education, while also having the opportunity to share my own culture and experiences. I highly recommend this host for anyone who's looking for an authentic cultural exchange and a friendly welcoming family .

Shen and Yang were amazing hosts, I wholeheartedly recommend them! The house is very spacious, the location is in a quiet neighborhood and well connected; there are many places to eat close by, and also supermarkets. Shen and Yang were very very flexible with the tasks and the schedule, I never felt forced to do anything, they really made me feel at ease, as a second home away from home. They were also instrumental in helping me figure out some of the required chinese-only applications (for booking tickets to various attractions or setting up the public transport app for example), thanks!
