The Experience

Hello and welcome! 👋 Sometimes people say that humans are like a cancer on the planet. If that is true, then let’s be the cells that help regenerate it. Mexico is a beautiful country, but it needs a lot of education. There is nothing better than leading by example and showing that, together, we can improve our community and our environment. If you have ever thought about doing something for a community, this might be a good moment to start.

I couldn't have wished for a better host family. Saray is incredibly friendly and very empathetic. Working in her home allowed me to not only gain many new experiences but also make a new friend, for which I am very grateful. However, anyone coming from Europe who has never been to Mexico or similar countries should be aware that hygiene standards are very different and should be prepared for that. :D and take yourself a towel if one is not enough for you like i was used to have 3 in germany and in Mexiko one is enough for them :D
