Ils m ont nourrie, gâtée, transportée, fait découvrir leur proches et leur culture. Ils ont pris du temps sur leur temps libre pour rendre mon séjour inoubliable.

What a wonderful lady! It was a pleasure to host Brigitte; intelligent, mature, adventurous, funny and very skilled in household matters, not afraid to do some D.I.Y. tasks. We had so much fun and my friends like her a lot. Great photos and very good memories. I hope she can visit Munich again.

Brigitte was amazing. She did everything, cooking, gardening, painting, and weekly shopping. All done efficiently and superbly well. It was a delight to have her with me. She is also an excellent driver. There was nothing that she wouldn’t tackle. If any host has a chance to have her they won’t regret it and they would be very fortunate. I highly… read more
