We are a young family with three energetic teens now ages 19, 16, 14 years. We have lived, studied &/or worked in the US, Canada, Asia and Europe.
We have a busy household with the teens after school activities and sports.
As a family, we love to travel and discover new places and meet new people.
When you write to us, please let us know a bit about yourself. How many in your family? Do you live in the city or country? What do you like to do when you are not working or studying? Do you have any special talents ie soccer or crocheting, for example?
We receive multiple requests on average per month. Thus, the more detailed your introductory email to us, the better.Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje
