Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Learn / improve / practice your English, while having a homestay live-in experience of beautiful and peaceful California. Sunnyvale is an amazing, safe, California city in the heart of Silicon Valley. Grocery store / Farmer's market, general stores and different cultural foods are all close to the home. Learn more about natural earth plant medicines and American culture. Yosemite National Park, full of glacier-carved mountains and lush trees in the forests, great for hiking and exploring nature, is a nice weekend trip. Snowboard/ski mountain resorts in the winter, Lake Tahoe, and the Santa Cruz mountains are also nice trips. San Francisco, San Jose, and Oakland are great cities accessible by train or drive.
