From experience I can tell you that if you like young people and enjoy interacting with other cultures it is an experience difficult to match other than by doing a lot of traveling on your own.

how to keep a foreign exchange student from being placed with a host family? I know someone that is getting a foreign exchange student. The problem is that they never did a background check on him.
