What else ...
In 2010, I was given the most amazing opportunity in my life. I was chosen to be a Youth Ambassador to Brazil for 1 year. During my stay, I learnt the language and the culture by integrating myself in their lives (living with Brazilians and attending local school). Not only that, I was proud to represent Canada by promoting my culture through many events and presentations.

Absolutely loved my time in Morocco! I had to extend my stay in the last minute and Mr. Harim was more than accomodating. During my 20-day stay, I had the flexibility to visit Casablanca, Fes, Marrakech, the Sahara desert, El Jedida and Chefchaouen all thanks Mr. Harim. I was constantly learning new things about Moroccan culture while conversing… read more

Sarah is a wonderful girl, so eager to learn new things and discover another culture. She was a great influence for our gilrs and I would recommend her to any family with kids. We learned a lot about Canada and China with her. We wish you all the best!

I spent 2 weeks with Alberto and his family over Christmas and it was a wonderful experience. Alberto and Almudena are wonderful tour guides and are very knowledgeable of the surrounding area.

The girls Maria and Alba were adorable and made my job really easy. Their level of English was astounding and I even managed to learn a little Spanish from… read more

Ever since I saw my first Studio Ghibli movie, I knew I had to visit Japan and experience it for myself. Coming to Nishiawakura and staying with the Charles has provided me with a wonderful adventure of countryside Japan with breathtaking scenery and a warm and welcoming family. Hiromi-san taught me a lot about the area with her vast knowledge of… read more

Sarah is a very kind and talented person. She got on really well with both of our children, being always in a good mood, cheerful and patient with them.

She was mainly focused on playing with the children, while helping them with English practice, which she did very well. She also helped them with their flute and violin practice (Thank you for… read more

I absolutely enjoyed every minute with the family. Everyday, I tried new foods and learned about Italian culture. Sadly I only spent 10 days, but every moment with the children and parents was precious and hope to visit again someday. Emma and Lorenzo are such an energetic children and they taught me about Lego, music, crafts, flower picking and… read more

Sarah is a very gentle and talented person.
She got on really well with my children, being always in a good mood and patient with them; giggling with Belle, and playing guitar with Zara.
The main job was teaching Chinese which she did well. Both of girls learned a lot.
Thanks a lot, looking forward meeting you again :)

We are very glad to have had her. Sarah helped us a lot from cleaning, preparing for events to communicating with guests with a warm heart and her language skills.
Her love for Japanese culture, dancing and music always impressed and inspired us.
She really is a smart girl! Wish you all the best for you Sarah!

Some of my most precious memories happened here in Kyoto and with the staff. 3 months flew by and before I knew it, I reluctantly had to say goodbye.

Being the history fanatic that I was, Kyoto was the perfect city to live in. The working hours were short and much of the time was left to discover Kyoto. Being so closer to the ancient capital of… read more
