Exchange Student Finder |
Experience Another Culture in Your Own Home! High school students from around the world come to us for one or two semesters to be immersed in our culture by attending high school and experiencing every-day family life. In addition to developing a life-long friendship, this experience is the perfect opportunity for students and host families to share their cultures, traditions and customs - Live, Learn, Grow! At international EXPERIENCE, we believe host families should be provided the opportunity to select the student that's right for their family. Using the search criteria important to you, please see a list of the current students available for hosting. |

I have also played the piano up until last year (2022). I have played the piano for eleven years and I stopped because I wanted to be able to focus on school more. Allergies: No allergies Special Diet: No special diet Self-Description: I am an easy-going, dependable person and I like to have fun. I have a sister and two cats and mice and my hobby is dancing. I've been dancing for many years now and hope I will continue to dance. Up to the year 2022 I played the piano but I stopped that I could focus on school. In the exchange I hope to make many memories and learn the language better. I hope I will get more independent and get to learn many new people. I look forward to attending an American Highschool and getting to learn the American culture. Special Requests: No click here to learn more about hosting Alina |

Hobbies: acrobatic gymnastics, tennis, hanging out with my friends, dancing, listening to music, shopping, movies, baking (cookies/cakes), creative arts, snowboarding, snow skiing Allergies: dust / dust mite; animal hair (cats, dogs) Special Diet: No special diet Self-Description: I'm a friendly, open-minded and humorous person who likes to be with family and friends. I'm very active in sports (acrobatics and tennis) and love outdoor and social activities with my family (e.g. bicycle tours, swimming, waterskiing, board and card games). I also love hanging out with my friends from school or from my sports club and often bring up ideas what we can do together. And of course, I love to travel - but who wouldn't? I’m a real family person and hope to become an integral part of a nice, open-minded family while in the US, which also enjoys family activities of any kind. I think, sport events are a big thing in America, so maybe we can go and watch sports games from my school, at a nearby college or any professional team together some time. I get along well with toddlers and little kids and like to play with them. I'm also looking forward to going to high school, which must be very different from here in Germany. I would love to take part in extracurricular activities and go to school events; and maybe I can play tennis or even try out cheerleading or other sports at school or elsewhere. And of course I hope to find new friends and spend time with them also outside of school. Special Requests: Region Southeast, Single Room Request click here to learn more about hosting Coralie |

Hobbies: Allergies: No allergies Special Diet: vegetarian Self-Description: I love spending time with my friends. It's not important to me what we are doing, just being with them is enough. I also enjoy being on my own and I love doing crochet, cooking and baking. When I have a project in mind, I really think it through and invest a lot of time in preparation. With my family, I have a very close relationship. We are laughing a lot and my parents taught me to talk about thinks and to be honest with each other. Also, to respect other personalities, interests and wishes. I do not like to impose upon other people. In this sense I can be shy. Very important to me is my sport as I am doing acrobatic gymnastics since the age of 5. Doing a sport competitively and dealing with dissapointments have taught me a lot. Also, acrobatic gymnastics is a team sport where you really need to trust each other and rely on one another. I think this is why I love the sport so much. In gerneral, I think I am an open minded person and easy to get along with. Special Requests: No click here to learn more about hosting Helena |

Hobbies: -track and field -saxophone -sing -family and friends Allergies: No allergies Special Diet: No special diet Self-Description: I would describe myself as an very open, kind and big hearted person. I get along well with people and I'm always up for a joke. When I first meet people, I'm maybe a little shy but don't worry if I get to know you better, I'll open up. Due to my mom I have a big heart and always want to help people. My family and my friends are very important to me and I'm so grateful for them. I'm also very spontanious and flexible, due to my divorced parents and I can adjust to a situation pretty quickly and I'm learning fast. Thats why I like to go on adventures and try out new things. Normally, after school I go to my track and field trainig, where I meet some of my friends outside of school. I have been doing track and field for 9 years and I train four times a week. I love to move my body and it gives me a good balance to school and studying. Another hobby of mine is to make and listen to music, sing or play the saxophone. I was as well a member of an orchestra in former times. I have been interested to do an exchange in another country since I was little. But I had to wait until I was old enough to have this experience. Now I think I am ready and mature enough to go for it. The main reason for me to do an exchange, is to get to know a new culture and discover how the people live there. Of course, it is also my goal to improve my English and to speak it more fluently. I hope I will build a bond with my host family and make a few friends. But I'm also really looking forward, to go to school there and maybe try out a new sport or hobby.
