My experience was really good; the family and the environment were kind and generous, and there was always someone looking after you. The food wasn't incredible, and the house could sometimes be seen as messy, but you always had something to eat and a bed to rest in. Another thing was the job: I had to clean houses (yes, including strangers' homes) and do gardening, among other things like painting walls, cleaning windows, collecting berries... It was exhausting some days, and the communication between the host family and me wasn't always fantastic (sometimes I didn't even know the plan).
