Book a friendly, zero-pressure 20-minute video chat with Lisa. No forms to memorize, no commitment to make — just your questions, honest answers, and a real conversation about whether hosting fits your family.
Twenty minutes. Zero pressure. Zero obligation.
This is a conversation, not a pitch. You leave with clear answers — and whatever decision you make afterward is completely yours.
Your questions, answered honestly
Cost, time, school logistics, what happens if things get hard — ask anything. Lisa gives you the real picture, including the parts other people gloss over.
Hosting for your household
Empty nesters, families with young kids, single adults — all kinds of households host successfully. Lisa walks through what it actually looks like for your home, not a generic one. For a preview, see why families host.
A look at real students
See actual student profiles — their interests, letters, and countries. Putting real faces and stories to the idea changes everything. You can meet the students before you even book.
Three easy steps
Request a time
Use the short form below to tell Lisa when works for you.
Lisa confirms
She'll reach back out by email or Facebook to lock in a time.
Hop on a video call
A relaxed 20-minute chat on Zoom or FaceTime — whatever's easiest for you.
Pick a time that suits you
Fill in what you can — only name and email are required. Lisa will follow up to confirm a time.
Before you book
Is the consultation a commitment?
Not at all. It's a conversation, nothing more. Plenty of families chat with Lisa, think it over for weeks or months, and decide either way — there's never any follow-up pressure.
Who should join the call?
Any or all of the adults in your household — and kids are absolutely welcome to pop in too. Hosting is a whole-family decision, so the more voices on the call, the better.
What if I just have one quick question?
No need to book anything — message Lisa on Facebook anytime. Quick questions get quick answers, and you can always schedule a full chat later if you want to dig deeper.
The first step is just a conversation.
Twenty minutes with Lisa could be the start of a friendship your family talks about for the rest of your lives.
