Hosting an exchange student means new foods new traditions new inside jokes and apparently a whole collection of plug adapters scattered around the house. If youve hosted before you KNOW this moment. If youre hosting soon prepare your outlets. If you WANT to host message me and Ill help you get started"

"Taking my exchange student to the worlds biggest Costco was the content I didnt know I needed. Eja has been to Costco before but she was NOT prepared for the largest one on the planet. She was SHOCKED at the size of a Pop-Tarts box and immediately grabbed two giant cases of Monster Energy like she was stocking a bunker. Then she couldnt decide between Diet Coke or Coke Zero so naturally she put both in the cart and then complained about lifting them. (Maam YOU said you wanted to work out more.) Her best line of the day: Okay now I understand why Americans are obese. If I lived here Id be"

"Lets talk about region requests when exchange students want to go to a specific state like California or New York. Its not always bad but it can be a red flag for host families because it shows unrealistic expectations and a tourist mindset. Exchange is about people not geography and the best placements happen when youre open to anywhere"

"We picked our FIRST exchange student for the 26-27 school year and were officially starting another double-placement year We felt the zing with her even with one red flag because red flags arent dealbreakers when the vibe is right. Now were waiting for paperwork and searching for exchange student #2 - someone who blends well with her and fits our family too. Manifesting the perfect match"

"Replying to @Master Mix Exchange students lets talk BIG CITY expectations. Every year students dream of New York Miami LA and then get upset when theyre placed in a small rural town. But the truth is simple: Big-city placements on a J-1 visa are incredibly rare. Higher cost of living = fewer host families. School competition = F-1 visa students get priority. And exchange spots in big cities are extremely limited. Most J-1 exchange students will end up in small towns or suburban areas and those placements usually end up being the BEST memories of the entire exchange year. If you ONLY want a"

"@Eja Our exchange students first American Thanksgiving. Dinner at X XX people so much food and somehow the day flew by. Stuffing and rolls were favorites green bean casserole was confusing and nothing was hated. Games talking pie cleanupand suddenly it was 10:30. Eja said the whole day felt very hygge which is the best compliment. And just like that Thanksgiving ended and Christmas season begins"

"Exchange year add-ons. Did you know most programs charge extra for trips region requests or orientation camps Optional excursions like NYC or D.C. trips can cost hundreds or thousands and region requests or orientation programs often come with fees too. Theyre fun but not required Your exchange experience isnt defined by how many extras you buy but by how much heart you put into it"

"Filmed in October. Just now posting. Talking with my Danish exchange student about how critical thinking is taught in Denmark was eye-opening. In her schools students are encouraged to believe what they wantas long as they can support it with facts and reliable sources. News isnt allowed to be biased. Books arent banned. Teachers can openly discuss credibility. And students can write about what they choose as long as they use evidence. As a U.S. teacher and host mom this conversation really highlighted how different education systems can beand why cultural exchange conversations like this"

"My exchange students first American snowfall and it immediately turned into a full-scale attack. She runs outside absolutely thrilled then starts throwing snowballs at me. I gently roast her form and ask if they dont teach snowball throwing in Denmark which leads to her and my daughter ganging up on me. Next thing I know Im locked out of my own house while being pelted with snow. Eventually my husband lets me back in so naturally I lock her out and continue the teasing through the window. The video ends exactly how youd expect: with my exchange student flipping me off. A true sign shes"

"Even after years of hosting exchange students Im still learning. We found an incredible exchange student for our second placement next year. We shared the profile with the whole family and all agreed this student would be perfect for us. Then I reached out to my supervisor and got my heart broken. Even though I knew every state has different exchange rules I didnt realize my state doesnt accept exchange students who are already XX and graduated in their home country. And that ended this placement. No one did anything wrong. Just one of those hard exchange lessons. So were back to searching"

Most exchange agencies are genuinely goodits about finding the right fit for your family your expectations and the kind of exchange experience you want. This is why ASSE works for us"

"@Eja Christmas during an exchange year isnt easy. Being an exchange student means missing family at home while also building something special with your host family. She knows shell have many Christmases in Denmark with her family and friends but this is the only Christmas she gets here. Shes having fun. Shes made friends. She loves her exchange life. And thats exactly why its complicated. This is the real reality of an exchange student year holding joy and homesickness at the same time. And yes we joke about never sending her back"

"Waiting for your exchange year placement can feel like the longest most stressful part of the entire exchange process. But the truth is the wait is normal and there are ways to cope with the anxiety. While you wait focus on what you can control: update your profile practice English work on personal goals prepare documents create a bucket list and connect with other future exchange students who are feeling the same stress. And remember host families are still being found screened and approved all the way until August. Your placement might already exist behind the scenes and just hasnt been"
