Detroit International House

There are 2 important reasons why the experience we offer will enrich you:

1. We offer a welcoming and stimulating environment suitable to live a mind-opening cross-cultural experience. Through this volunteering, you can live a very authentic individual experience and at the same time, you can savour the unifying power of a community experience.
2. Our project is focused on cultural exchange

In the house, you can find a friendly and informal climate: you will always find a hand whenever you need any help, and you're always free to take your time and your space to live your trip in a moment of personal recollection, taking advantage from our house's great position in the city of Detroit.

The accomodation at first was good, then Karen made me move to a different room on the same day. She does this offen with the guests as well.
Communication with her can offen be tense. When I was leaving she demanded me to give her 10 dollars for a set of old worn-out gloves that she gave me and I left in an Uber inside my backpack. It was unfortunate but it was on HER Uber going to work, and she couldn't manage to have it returned.
She did ask this to me very agressively, touching my pockets as if I was hidden the stupid gloves. I will never accept to be treated like this.

Sebastian was given an entire apartment to stay in when he arrived, but was informed he would have to move during his stay. He agreed to that and was given a nice private room in the same house a few days later.

By then though things were deteriorating after I had to air out and throughly clean the apartment he was in due to his constant chain smoking and I let him know how much work he caused me.

He either stole or lost my gloves. Either way, he should have reimbursed me....

Karen was as enthusiastic as ever. She took care to introduce local information to everyone and arranged for driving them to visit museums, art galleries and other activities. Even her houses full, she still arranged for couch surfer to stay in her study for a few days, and personally pedalled bicycles to take her with us to see the water view, sunset, drink beer, eat pizza, etc.
I had a plenty of time to explore the city. Nice neighbor, scenery riverfront, got my reduced bus card.A lady even gave me a music show ticket in the Fisher building.
Thanks Karen! Wish her trip great also!

Nice hostess, pretty young manager. Guests have to clean their own mess, so relatively easy job. Just got bad feet, so didn't go anywhere a lot, but definitely I will be back to see my classmate there. And because hostess there, maybe I will settle down there in the future.

Working with Karen on the Detroit International House project was important, and I will continue to be available to run projects in the future.
