🌍 Found several host families? Here’s how to compare them

✨ Which host family fits your daily life?

A good fit also depends on how openly you can talk with one another. Do you understand what the parents expect? Can you ask about working hours, privacy, and living together? Do their answers match what matters to you? If something is unclear, take time for another conversation. You don’t have to choose the first family you get along with.
