Experience Study Trek Through Images

"Hosting a Japanese student was such a wonderful experience for our little family. We learnt so much from each other about one another's cultures. Seeing a student experience your own country is almost like being on a holiday without going anywhere yourself, as you gain a new appreciation for what you see all the time, being seen through their eyes.

It was lovely to know that we were able to provide a warm and supportive environment for the student to safely learn and explore Aussie life and for their families to know they were safe and looked after during their time here."

"It was amazing being able to provide an experience of Australian life to someone who was previously a complete stranger and who is now likely a life-long family friend."

- Matt | Hosted a Japanese Student

"This is a fantastic way to encourage cultural understanding within your house, rediscover the joy in the small things that we have in our country. Welcoming a new member to your family, all in all, a fantastic time was had with our student."

- Donna M. | Melbourne, Victoria

"Watching our own kids grow as people through this experience, they showed hospitality to a young person of a very different culture, showing care and compassion."

- Janine | Hosted a Japanese Student

"My family has hosted for many years. This experience has been incredibly positive. My children were exposed to different cultures, and we made life-long friends.  Many of the students who stayed with us still stay in contact to this day and keep us updated on their lives. They become part of your family and give an insight into the world that you may never receive otherwise. We would highly recommend hosting to others."
