Some advise from a past host family...
In the Fall of 2017, we sat down as a family to discuss pros/cons of hosting a NACEL exchange student for the upcoming year. Would we be able to transport her and provide her with enough experiences? Would she enjoy her stay with three siblings? After we decided to "take the plunge", we never looked back. Without a doubt hosting our student (from France) was one of the best decisions we made. We fell in love with new foods, learned more of the language, and grew our cultural knowledge. What we shared of American culture and norms, she reciprocated freely about France.

The end result of our exchange was meeting her family and showing them a bit more of Wisconsin. We hope to travel to France in the upcoming years and feel we've made lifelong friends. Our advice for others considering hosting is- go for it! Take the risk, you won't regret it.
