I spent six amazing weeks with Shaun in Ripon (Dec 2024–Jan 2025). He was very kind, welcoming, and always supportive. I worked on a crafting/art project as part of my contribution, and he was always open to my ideas. We had great conversations, and he made sure I felt heard and understood. It was a meaningful experience with a host who has a beautiful heart. Highly recommended! Miss you Shaun :)

Staying with Shaun has been by far one of the most fulfilling experiences I've ever had! He is an amazing host and friend. I am so lucky to have chosen Ripon as a destiny. This is the best place for you if you are looking for some personal growth and asking yourself important questions, next place to learn about seeking some discomfort

Shuan is very fun. There are some games in the house that encourage interaction between people. During our stay, he gave us plenty of freedom to explore and get to know the surroundings.

A casa do Shaun é bem confortável e agradável, tem até uma tela grande para assistir filme. O anfitrião não passou uma atividade específica para realizar, disse que era livre, então consegui aproveitar bem a casa e visitar as cidades próximas. Shaun é bem positivo, organizado e compreensivo, ele teve bastante paciência e respeitou meus limites e inseguranças principalmente em relação ao idioma (pois ainda estou aprendendo). Me senti bem e à vontade na casa de Shaun. Sou muitooooo grata!
