Ivan and his mum Sandra are genuinely such lovely and welcoming people. Although some things got lost in translation, I always felt respected and valued during my stay. I felt like a guest on this exchange and am very grateful for the hospitality and kindness I received here. Bella is a beautiful dog (albeit sometimes stubborn!) and I got to see a lot of Santiago on our walks. I loved being able to help out with some catering events and trying to learn some Spanish too! Thank you so much for having me :) I will miss you all!

Ivan and Sandra are two of the kindest people I've met. They're both so caring and they'll ensure you feel welcome and comfortable during your stay. Bella, their doberman, is very silly and loves to cuddle. I had so much fun walking with Bella, helping at the cafe, and just overall being with Ivan, Sandra, and Bella. If you have the chance to help them out - take it! It's a special opportunity and you will not regret it. :) I miss them after leaving!
