It was my first time traveling abroad, and I'm so grateful for this experience! We chatted for months before I arrived, so it felt like home when I got here, even though it was different and better than I'd imagined. Andy and Joe are amazing friends. Andy has a fantastic sense of humor, is transparent, keeps conversations lively, and I was like his wingman. Joe is genuine and cooks delicious meals! These months have been truly meaningful. Sheffield has so much to explore, especially if you love nature. You'll the home about the culture and yourself. Thank you, Andy!

Thank you Andy! .. Why ? Because here, in Sheffield, at your home it's the place to be to improve your english, but at least, it's the best place to share moments with very good friends. Andy is one of the most generous people I ever know : he brought me in vacation with him, I met his Mum, and always with smile and happiness. For sure Andy and Joe will be my friends for life. I recommend to everybody, who want a special help experience, to talk with Andy and understand how you can help him because for sure he will be able to help you. Thank you for all my friend.

This experience has been enriching. I've improved my English, traveled to different places, and met wonderful people, Andy and Joe. Both are kind, friendly, and understanding. Andy has a great sense of humor and approaches life with a relaxed and enjoyable attitude, while Joe is very studious and cooks delicious dishes. If you're seeking a unique experience where you can be completely self-transparent and live among native people, this is the opportunity for you.

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.
