Your host family is recruited and screened

by a Non-Profit Organization, ANDEO.

ANDEO’s homestay coordinators find your

host family based on your hobbies,

pet allergies, etc.

Host families come in all shapes and sizes,

but what they all have in common is their

interest in sharing cultural experiences.  You

will receive a host family profile and contact

information at least one week prior to

the program start date.  

(for more information, visit: www.andeo.org)
