@rachelledurranthostmom: @Eja After my exchange student red flag video went viral, let’s balance it out with some green flags. Here are things that are total non-issues for us as a host family — and the green flags that make us say YES. Religion? Non-issue. LGBTQ? Welcome. Food quirks? Manageable. What matters more? Personality, adaptability, realistic expectations, and wanting to truly join the family. Hosting is about connection — not perfection.
Would a muslim girl with a headscarf be a problem?

As a Dane myself, she’s done a great job to hide the stereotypical “Danglish” dialect. Kudos for that 😎

I was an exchange student 2010-2011 and I was and still am a vegetarian. I found it hard to find a host family because of that and got my placement later than most. Still had a good experience even though my families (had to change it during the year) didnt’t know much about it. It helps if you can eat milk and egg products. 😊 Also my school didn’t have a warm vegetarian food option.

Eja with the win! It's obvious she loves her host family. Eja - I'm so glad your American experience has been positive! You all seem like a great fit for each other.

I love your bond with Eja so much and I feel so lucky to be able to follow her journey as an exchange student, because it’s something I can never experience myself. So I can at least see parts of others living it. Also you and Eja seem so sweet.❤

As a vegetarian, trust me if you make them any recipe but just no meat it is alright. My mom for example cooks everything and after setting my plate just puts on the meat for the others. It is easier than people think ✨ in Europe 90% of recipes are just as easy with the meat being removed from the recipe or added at the end.
