A Genuine and Gratifying Experience

I had the pleasure of spending two delightful months with a Shanghai family last winter, all thanks to Star Exchange. What immediately endeared me to Star Exchange, after comparing several agencies, was their authenticity. Unlike others solely focused on highlighting program perks, they provided genuine insights. For instance, they preemptively addressed potential discomforts I might encounter, such as homesickness during new year or feeling overwhelmed by the bustling nature of Chinese New Year celebrations. Their keen understanding of both Western and Chinese cultures, coupled with continuous reminders of potential discomforts, was truly commendable. It was reassuring to know that my coordinator had extensive experience living in Europe, further enhancing the support provided. Additionally, I must commend their rewarding system, which surpasses other agencies . This aspect sets them apart and adds immense value to the overall experience.
