She enjoys reading, dancing for fun, and exploring various interests in her free time. Regina is excited to try cheerleading during her time in the U.S.; she finds it fun and exhilarating. Her vibrant personality and love for creative pursuits make her an enthusiastic and adventurous individual.
Kotaro, a 17-year-old from Japan, seeks a host family before July 1 for a language camp in Colorado. He adores young children and spends 2 hours daily studying math, science, and English. Kotaro enjoys video games, reading comic books (especially ONE PIECE), and jogging with his father, and he has interests in basketball, snowboarding, and playing an instrument. He looks forward to a welcoming host family for his upcoming adventures in the United States.
Anja from Serbia is a talented pianist, playing since she was nine and having completed lower music school. She is passionate about playing the piano and enjoys sharing beautiful melodies to uplift others' moods. In her free time, Anja enjoys volleyball, reading, and spending time with loved ones. Eager to try new sports and classes in the U.S., she also looks forward to exploring historical landmarks. Anja's love for music and adventurous spirit excite her journey in the United States.
With schools closing soon and deadlines fast approaching, these talented students need your help in finding a loving host family. Open up your hearts and homes, and embark on a journey of cultural exchange and lifelong friendships!
