Pietro, a 17-year-old from Italy, came to the U.S. hoping to see New York at Christmas and run up the famous Rocky steps.
What he found was so much more : a second family, new friendships, and memories that will stay with him forever.

Hosting an exchange student isn’t just about welcoming someone into your home; it’s about sharing experiences, learning from each other, and building meaningful connections. ❤️🏡

📚 Meet Louna from France!

Louna is a bright, curious, friendly, and energetic 17-year-old student from France. In her words, Louna says “I really want to get out of my comfort zone, change my routine, and go on an adventure.” She loves sports, playing handball since she was 7, enjoys volleyball for the teamwork aspect, and surfing for the feeling of freedom out on the water.

Louna also enjoys music, walks, cooking, laughing, and board games. She likes helping others so much that she became a Lifeguard and is first aid certified! Excited for lots of things in America, Louna mentioned getting to experience soccer games and the holidays here. Since she is so close to her mother, father, and sisters, she cannot wait to get to know you as well, making memories she believes will last a lifetime!

Could you be the family that helps Louna make her American dream come true? Apply to host today!

❌ MYTH: "I have young kids, so I can’t host."
✅ FACT: Exchange students love being part of families with young children! They often become like big brothers or sisters and love sharing their culture with younger kids!

❌ MYTH: "Hosting is expensive."
✅ FACT: Students bring their own spending money & insurance! Families provide meals and a welcoming home—no extra financial burden!

📢 Meet the Wofford Family – Proud Host Parents! ❤️🏡

“Our family's first hosting experience began in January of 2015 with our Italian daughter Vittoria. We had so much fun with her that we could not wait to experience a new, different country, so we applied to host another World Heritage Exchange Student.

As soon as we saw Merna’s profile, we knew she was different, a YES Scholarship Student, and Egyptian. We began to fall in love with our Egyptian daughter right away. We Skyped and emailed for five months before she arrived in the US. When she got off of that plane, it was almost as if we were finally whole again...

Merna is funny, smart, loving, helpful, captivating, caring, and a real blessing to our lives. She has taught us all so much. We cannot imagine our lives without our Italian and Egyptian daughters. We do plan to travel to both countries, and we will be sending our children as exchange students to live with our new extended families. I want to thank World Heritage for allowing our family to grow from four children to six children all in one year. We are all elated for this experience of a lifetime and will forever be grateful.!”
