What's included
"I absolutely love being a host for Foyle International as I really love meeting new people. I find it very rewarding to help people to understand our culture and way of living. I also take a lot of interest in learning about new cultures. Being a host has had such a positive impact on my baby as he is getting to meet new people all the time. It’s really helped him to become very outgoing at such a young age!"

"I really enjoyed living in my own place. What I liked best was the freedom and independence: I could cook whatever I wanted and organize my time as I wished. It also made me feel more responsible."
