@ashelizabeth92: We absolutely love Annika so much and are so glad she has become a part of our family. She gets to be a part of significant moments in our lives and our home feels so much more full. Plus we both love doing old lady things so that’s a bonus #foreignexchange #fun #germany #2025 #fall
We hosted an Italian exchange student when I was in middle school. Once I was old enough his parents hosted me. 35 years later I'm hosting his son. It's an awesome experience.

Why anyone would want to go to America right now is beyond me. Stay safe, Annika.

After the horror stories I’ve read on Reddit about awful host families, this is so lovely to see.

In high school my family hosted 2 . The first one was great but the second one had to be sent home early for “behavioral” issues

We had a couple of German girls that came to my school as part of the foreign exchange student program and one of them Jessica and the other was also named Annika. She and I got pretty close. We never ended up formally dating, but we were always together in the halls, at sporting events, and at all of the “outside of school social gatherings”. I went to a very small school in the Midwest. My senior class graduated 28 students. Seeing her name again after all these years (graduated 2008) sure brings back a lot of memories and makes me think of a long lost love connection that was missed. My how I wish I could know how she’s doing now.

We hosted a girl from Norway when I was 9 years old. That was 36 years ago and we are still family. Her and her family come to visit every other year and we have been to Norway to stay with them.

My family hosted six Exchange Students over the years, and other than raising our own children. It was the most rewarding experiences we ever had. ❤️

I have so many fond memories of the exchange students my family kept growing up. They still are my brothers and sisters, and we stay in contact. ❤️

Yeah but then that sadness when they go back home. Got 4 kids of my own who I don’t see 24/7 and it’s depressing when they leave and go back to their mama
