Thread: Ask me about hosting a foreign exchange student

I just hosted an exchange student for 2 1/2 weeks and it was a great experience. Her name was Stefanie and she was from Germany. I know you all have a burning desire to ask questions about foreign exchange students, so ask away.

Was she hot?

Were there any cultural misunderstandings?

no.

So when is your time to be hosted? Are you also going to the same family?

I was staying with like 4 different familys over the course of the year of
my exchange. We also always had a lot of exchange students. (5 or 6)

That has always been fun. Do any of you know couchsurfing?

It was through school and I am going to Germany at the end of this year or beginning of next and I am most likely staying with her family. Also, during the summer I might be going to stay with her for a week or two.

I have heard of couchsurfing and I would love to try it when I am older, I would just be a little worried about if I was staying with some crazy serial killer.

Judging by what people have told me, yes, she was hot.

Sorry, couldn't resist. On a more serious note: did you find yourself learning more things about this person and her culture than you thought? Or was it an experience you anticipated.

I learned more than I thought I would, but for the most part she was just like any normal teenage girl.
