Doris and Mario and cat Pige welcomed me very well :D I have no words to thank them for all affection and care they gave me. The tasks were clear, the schedule was great. This opportunity was my first and was better than I could ever imagined. Our moments were precious, cooking and eating, spending time together, talking about our countries, food, culture and life experiences. I like the phrase "Life full of life", and this opportunity was full of life, of great moments. As Doris says we are all connected and I am very happy and grateful for being connected with them. Hope to see them again!

My gratitude is beyond words. Regarding the task everything was clear and well explained, with love and patience, you can ask everything you need to assure to do properly everything. The cultural. immersion it's fantastic, at least we share a meal together, it's nice to hear about their culture and surrounding places where they live. I can tell that's a very lovely & charming couple with a big heart, I felt so good sharing and exchanging with them. As life is wise we get closer due common interests. I was able to teach other of my skills and build together in self growing. MERCI Vell Mol!

Both Doris and Mario are great people. I am such a shy person and still they made me fell so comfortable to have nice conversations. They are very kind, polite, attentive and smart hosts. I have learned such different things with them throughout a conversation here and there. They're also very kind giving tips where to go and even hand us a bike we can use to go around. Regarding the task, they are all as described and pretty fair. And if you need help understanding something they are very patient when explaining whatever you need to know. Oh, and Doris is also abMaster chef 💯 great cooking.

My experience at the home was amazing. Doris and Mario welcomed me like family from the very beginning, always with kindness and warmth, and Pigue made the experience even more special with her the home personality. I loved learning more about Swiss culture, enjoying delicious homemade food, and exploring beautiful Arbon and Lake Constance. Their home is peaceful, welcoming, and full of respect — I'm truly grateful for this unforgettable experience. Hope to see you guys in the future. :)
