The Experience

Andy will be the person you spend the most time with and it will be great for you if you are the type of person who wants to immerse yourself in real-life cultural exchange experience. We always chat extensively with those you are interested before any decisions are made. There are some daily household tasks that you can help us with and we will chat about any activities we both agree would be good to do before any trip is confirmed.

More than a host, was like a friend, the age gap didn't make a diferrence to me. Shefiel is a nice plece for walking and is full of beatiful parks and people.while i was here i helped him with his gym routine and we debated about a lot of subjects. It was a difference experience, that i think that is worth trying at least once in life.

I had a wonderful time staying with Andy and Joe, a lovely couple who welcomed me into their home. Andy is a great mentor and friend, who shared his wisdom and insights with me. He also taught me a lot about the British culture and was curious to the home about mine. He is very kind and hospitable, and has a genuine sense of humor. I will definitely keep in touch with them in the future and hopefully we will meet again. This was not just a helping experience, but also a personal growth journey for me. I learned to be more open and honest with myself and learned about being self transparent.

Immersing myself with Andy and his partner has been a real-game changer. Living throughout their perspective of the world have really made me aware of valuable and transformative insights giving me a more open mindset to leave with. I sparked with personal growth which can be reflected on others. They were patient with me as I navigated this new experience which helped immensely. I recommend anyone who's looking to be a better version of themself to take a chance and to build a stronger foundation for your future
