Dav! I think you should get at least 1 recipe from each other your FES and make them into a recipe book!! I would love to learn all about them and even try some of them!!!

Hi! I also live in Arizona and my family is about to host our first foreign exchange student. I was wondering what things the students enjoyed the most that I can take them to do in the valley. Thanks!

Josie Allen how exciting!!! Where are you in the Valley?! Are you hosting with an agency? Honestly there were so many things - I actually did a video with our first student Sofia! She shares some of the things she really enjoyed!

What's the process like after you fill out an application?

[@LifeonTheEdgett]

kimsay16 Hi there! Depending on the company you work with the process can be different! After completing the application and back ground check there is an interview, the IEC (coordinator) will come to your home and ask you a few questions and take pictures of the living spaces to post on your host-parent profile. From there you just wait to get approved and for the student you choose to be notified of your match 😃

@@LifeonTheEdgett Is the interview difficult/something to be nervous about?

kimsay16 no! Not at all!! It’s a breeze!
