They are a happy,kind and smiling family,they transmit love and happiness.The place is wonderful,the room is very comfortable.I had the opportunity to be integrated into their activities,so I was able to learn many things about English culture,their food,their music,their customs and their joy.They invited me to see beautiful places.Poppy, Bowe, smudged and Tripod I love them.Other cleaning activities in some areas of the home are simple.Thank you Susan, Mr David and Oliver for welcoming me into your home, making me feel like family and help me with my process of learning English.

Mi experiencia en casa fue acogedora, las tareas son sencillas, aunque la casa queda en el medio de la nada, así no hay mucho que hacer. Poppy es una perrita muy amigable y Bowe es muy juguetón pues es un perro con mucha energía y trabajador. En los primeros meses tuve la oportunidad de compartir más con la familia, pero no contaba con que ellos salen a viajar seguido y en cuanto la alimentación considero que debería dar más opciones de en los desayunos y almuerzos, ya que hay pocas proteínas. El resto del tiempo compartí con el hijo menor Oliver es una persona muy amable y respetuosa.
