wait..
I like interacting a lot with students. We would spend time together with the rest of my family. I am a music lover, so I would find out what Students like and embrace it over the period of stay. I will show around the town centre, show where the bus stop is and all the necessary orienteering. I am a fitness personal trainer and these skills allow me to interact with students a a teacher.
For example, I watched Harry Potter with a students, we spoke all through the series about it and we really enjoyed it. Another time we cooked meals together, it was really interesting to learn about Italian food and ingredients on one side, and Caribbean on the other. Eating together is another pleasant moment to share.
Description as a Host
I am a fun loving happy person. I am a qualified personal trainer, Zumba and reggaerobics instructor and love keeping fit. I work on and near the canal/river delivering activities to support people with their mental wellbeing, this includes stand up paddle boarding and canoeing. My family are very important to me and I have a son and lots of brothers and sisters. I love to cook and will introduce you to Caribbean cuisine which I hope you will enjoy. I love music all kinds and am happy to listen to the music you will like. I like films and love to read but also like to have conversation and would love to learn about a different culture.

A lovely, respectful student

The host Carol was really welcoming and available. I recommend staying here!
Francesca was a perfect student, she wad polite, easy to talk to and respected me and my home. Francesca was very interested in Nottingham and my Caribbean culture and ate all meals provided. She started the week off with little English and google translate but quickly picked up our words and phrases. I would definitely host Francesca again.
