“In my opinion, the decision to choose to stay with a French family gave me the right opportunity to know and immerse myself in French culture. Out of my family I had never received a warm welcome like the one I had when I arrived in France. From the beginning, I felt integrated, I didn’t feel like a stranger. It was a unique experience that allowed me to deepen my knowledge in French language and culture. Beyond everything, I met and discovered a lot of people I never would have found otherwise. It’s more than just a pre-paid meal and lodging. It is the connections and knowledge that I have made and that I will never forget. “
