Hosting

Host families are the most important component of our homestay programs. Their warmth and generosity are what makes the homestay experience so meaningful and memorable to the foreign students. Becoming a host family is easy. All it requires is a desire to share your home and 2-3 weeks of your life with a foreign student. The commitment you make to host a foreign student can bring your family joy for years to come. When all is said, who knows, you may even end up traveling to visit your foreign student in their country!

Testimonials

Mathilde is apart of our family now. In fact my daughter & I are planning on going to visit her in France and are going to stay with her family. What Ashley has done with this program and bringing us together like this -- you just can’t put a price tag on it! Thank you so much. We’re going to do this every year!

I dropped off Thibaut at 9:05 am by the Delta sign at Portland International Airport today. There was sort of a pall over our morning, knowing that it was all coming to an end - in such contrast to all the fun and amusements we had the last thirteen days. I managed not to tear up until after we hugged and he went inside. Thank you for arranging this. You don't know how much good that you are doing.

I just wanted to thank you for all what you do for the French group. All the messages we have from Sarah are so happy. We can tell she is enjoying her stay, and we are so happy for her! Thank you. Merci!!!

Martignat, France

We just returned from France! We had a wonderful time! We met Emma and her parents and spent the day with them in Versailles. We really connected, and we already adore Emma! Her parents were great fun as well. Thank you for the opportunity to host! It's been great experience for all.

Eugene, OR, USA.

We really enjoyed our time with Justine. We all got very attached to her, she fit in perfectly with our family. We were all so sad to say good bye, but so thankful for such a great experience.

Bend, OR, USA

We had so much fun with Miguel. He was so polite and funny, he had us laughing all the time. Plus he really gave me a run for my money on the 'football' [soccer] field. In fact I had to ask him to go easy on us! Great guy, great experience. We're really looking forward to next year!

Eugene, OR, USA.

The positive impact of this program for both the students and our family cannot be understated. American Discovery, as led and organized by Ashley and Stephen, is wonderfully organized with the needs of both visiting students and host families in mind. It has been great fun and a learning and cultural exchange experience for us and everyone involved. Experiences impossible to gain in any other way!

Eugene, OR, USA

Wow, this was the best summer we've had in a long time! Even though Guillaume was only here for a little over 2 weeks, we just loved every minute with him. Thank you for including us!
