I cannot think of any bad situations, everyone that I have hosted has been so great! We need this sort of thing now more than ever, to lessen the cultural divide.

Each professional has their own unique experience in a new setting away from their family and home environment. It is a time for them to explore themselves in new ways, and each [professional] did that”
