About me:
55 year old Male from Québec City, Canada
We began our experience 2 years ago by hosting one girl from Bahamas. She was our tour guide while in holiday last summer. She was really interested in traveling to Canada. We accepted her because she had a lot in common with our oldest daughter.
After speaking with her, we fell in love! We processed her visa application papers and she flew in. She was with us for about 3 months.
We decided to add a second student, a boy from Paris, France. We had a family vote, including our student, and could not have done a better thing. We loved him immediately too.
They were a great fit. We had so many laughs and there was so much joy in our home. Even though they went home, we still talk regularly.
They are our kids, and their biological families are now our family as well.
We hosted again a week ago, but this time two adult friends: A lady from India and another woman from Burundi. We have had different experiences with these two, and again, we could not have found better friends. We love the ongoing cultural exchange.
We have already picked our exchange for next year… we can only host 2 next year… but I know that we are planning to continue every year, hosting students and friends from different countries.
We are planning on visiting our kids, friends, and families all over the world. Our own kids have grown so much as individuals and they love having all of the exchange friends around.
We receive so many emails, and we try as much as possible to reply to all. Please bear with us if don't receive a response.
Regards,
Tom & Ann
