Hi! I’m Alicia, I’m 18 years old and I live in Spain. Currently I’m on a gap year where I’ve started working in a bar while getting my driver’s license. I expect to have my license by March which is when I’ll start traveling until June. I’m excited to explore new places, meet new people, and learn about different cultures. I’m a responsible, organized and motivated person. In my free time, I enjoy doing sports (I’ve been playing volleyball for 5 years), watching series, meeting with friends, and baking. I’ve been babysitting for several years and have experience taking care of children of different ages. I’m excited for the experiences ahead and hope I can contribute meaningfully while learning along the way. Thank you for considering my profile!

Hi! My name is Larissa. I’m a calm, responsible and organized person who enjoys simple routines and being in peaceful environments. I really love animals and nature, and I’m especially interested in experiences where I can help take care of animals, gardens, or farms. I may be a bit shy at first, but I’m friendly, respectful and I adapt well over time. I’m always willing to learn, help with daily tasks and be part of the routine in a positive way. I’m used to having discipline with work and responsibilities, so you can count on me to be committed and reliable. I also enjoy quiet activities, healthy habits and maintaining a balanced lifestyle. My goal with this experience is to connect with new cultures, grow as a person and contribute in a meaningful way while living a different lifestyle.

Barcelona, Spain
Hi! I’m Mariona, originally from Barcelona. I enjoy moving around, discovering new places, and meeting people to meet the world from diferent places/persepctives. I studied arts and design, so I’m naturally drawn to creative environments. But what really touches my heart is nice people, in general. So I put value on conversations, shared moments, and the small everyday experiences that don’t appear in guidebooks. I’m curious, open-minded, and easygoing (I would say :))). I appreciate both deep talks and simple plans like walking around a city, cooking together, or just having a drink and exchanging stories. I’m respectful of people’s space and routines, and try to bring a calm and positive energy wherever I go. I don’t anything special, just a place where there’s mutual trust and good heart.

We just NEED a good opportunity! He and I are a great couple, who are wanting to escape the Arizona Desert! Although we are currently technically 'homeless,' it is NOT our chosen lifestyle. We desperately desire employment! However it is rather difficult to keep a job while on the streets. We need someplace for our 10lb Chi-weenie to 'hangout' while we're working! We have absolutely no family at all, what-so-ever. And the 'friends' we have are in a similar situation. We have a positive attitude, and outlook on life. And we also believe in the Universe's laws of Attraction. We won't sit here and try to sell our character traits. But I can honestly say, we aim to please, and will try very hard to not disappoint!

I’m a bit shy, so I’m not usually the first to speak up in a room, but watch out: as soon as people ask me questions and I feel a bit more at ease, I can be a real chatterbox. I love trying new things on my own, meeting new people and hearing them talk about their passions and their lives. I’ve been living away from home for 10 years. I have just graduated with a degree in medicine, and during my studies I spent six months on an Erasmus exchange in Greece and ten months in Romania. I always have my earphones in: I mainly listen to Italian indie music, international pop and rock, and techno. I love going dancing and to concerts. I’ve been vegan for four years and I love cooking and constantly experimenting with new flavours and recipes.

I’m planning to arrive about 10 days before it starts, to settle in, explore the area, and meet new people 😊 I’m easygoing, respectful, and curious. I enjoy discovering new cultures, sharing meals, and having good conversations. I’m also happy to help around the house if needed (cleaning, cooking, small tasks, etc.). This stay is really important for me as it will be my first experience living in Ireland, so I’d love to connect with locals or fellow travelers and start this adventure in a friendly way. Looking forward to meeting you!

Hong Kong, Hong Kong
I am a first‑year university student from Hong Kong, and this trip is during my summer break. I would like to make good use of this time to broaden my horizons and experience daily life in Europe. I will visit London in July for my brother’s graduation and hope to find one or two host families in Europe before the ceremony. I plan to travel solo from 23/05/2026 to 15/07/2026 and would like to stay with each host for around two weeks. I enjoy listening to people’s stories, learning about different cultures, and spending time in nature and with animals (although I am afraid of snakes). I eat almost everything and am happy to try new food, but I do not handle very spicy dishes well. At home, I help with cooking and housework. I can cook simple meals, and I enjoy baking desserts, but I am more used to an electric stove than to cooking over a gas flame or real fire. I am happy to help with daily chores, gardening, or pet care (except snakes), and I am open to learning new skills. I am quiet at first, but happy to chat once I feel comfortable. I speak Chinese and English, and I learned some Portuguese during a one‑year AFS exchange in Goiânia, Brazil, where I lived with several host families. I would be glad to practise languages together—learning your language while sharing mine. I respect house rules and routines. Please explain them clearly at the beginning, because I cannot know or guess rules that have not been discussed. As there may be cultural differences, I appreciate direct communication rather than hints or indirect messages. If something is not working well, I would like us to talk openly to find a solution together. Having dinner together is important to me, as it is often the best time to share our day and get to know each other. I may need a little time to learn new tasks and to open up in a non‑native language, but I am responsible, adaptable, and always try my best.
