We believe that personal experiences which cross national boundaries are essential if we are to have international understanding and world peace. We also believe that these experiences are truly meaningful only when lives are shared over time. The Homestay gives both international students and host families a new way to look at the world, new understanding of cultural differences, and a rich source of ideas and insights about themselves as well as the world.

Description:
Adventures in Real Communication is a non-profit organization dedicated to intercultural Homestay experiences as a means of helping students, host families and teachers reach new levels of potential in living,language and international understanding.
