Michael and Yadira welcomed me into their home, were respectful, friendly and overall wonderful hosts! Their home is in a great location, making trips to el centro San Jose and other cities quite easy. Grocery stores and buses within walking distance. They made me feel welcomed and comfortable in their home. Yadira was very flexible when communicating days and hours to work. I would be honored to return!

We really enjoyed your volunteering, while we improved our level of English we were able to learn about the history and geography of the United States. We were pleased to have you in our house because you are a wonderful person, pleasant and willing to answer our questions. I am happy to recommend you and we hope you return to our house to visit soon.

I enjoyed starting with Yadira and Michael. We did a language exchange and I got to expand my knowledge on Latin American culture while also teaching them English. This homestay was my introduction to the world packers experience and was very memorable. Wonderful hosts that I definitely recommend!

Vera is the first volunteer we received at our house, it was a great experience. He is a person with a wonderful personality and I thank him because not only was I able to improve my English vocabulary, he also helped me increase my confidence when speaking and listening in English. Totally recommended!
