Dear Family,   My name is Anna-Lou, I come from South of France.     My favorite color is blue, or rather a variation of blue like that of the sky, sea and lakes found in the landscapes of my region. I'm a social person, open-minded and like to reach out to others.  I have many hobbies and my favorites are rugby, horse riding, skiing and surfing.   My Family is important to me. We do a lot of activities together, like traveling (I've been on two family trips to the USA: one to New York

Dear Host Family, Thank you very much for welcoming me into your home. I’m really excited and grateful for this chance to live with you and become part of your family. My name is Federico, I’m 16 years old, and I come from a city in northern Italy. I would say I’m extrovert, curious, and funny. One of my main passions is working on tech and AI projects. I decided to join this exchange program because I think it’s a unique and unforgettable experience. I want to make the most of it by making

Dear host family, Thank you so much for being willing to participate in the exchange program and accepting me to live with you. I am a 16 year old brazilian guy who’s in high school. I’ve always wanted to participate in an exchange program, because i’ve always wanted to learn new things that i probably won’t learn here, and learn how you live, what things you like to do and, of course, about the culture. I’d describe myself as a funny, outgoing and a mostly good vibe guy, I like doing sports

Dear Host Family, First, I want to thank you for hosting me for 5 months! I care deeply about this experience, and thanks to your hospitality, I will get to know a new culture, build important relationships with new people, and make the most of my time with you, creating a long-lasting bond that I will remember for the rest of my life! I’m eager to learn more about who you are and to share things about myself. I would like to be part of this experience because I’ve always been very ambitious
