Are there any websites which organise family exchanges between the UK and the States? -

Hi thereI m 16 and would love to go to the USA. We re not exactly well off, so I suggested an exchange.Basically, getting in touch with a family in USA who has a child the same age as me. Then I d stay with them in the USA for a while, then the kid would come over to the UK to stay with my family. In the summer holidays probably.Are there websites which organise this? It would be gr8 if there are :Dthnx

Hi! - Im afraid these exhanges to america are REALLY hard to come unless its a programme already set up within your college. The reason being is it is very expensive for the company in terms of costs of a visa, insurance etc, resulting in the american companies trying to steer clear.Unfortunately he only two options you have really are -1 - waiting untill you go to university(if you are intending to!) ALOT of universities offer american exchange programmes within courses.- You could go on a summer camp experience, this does cost money however, food costs are usually included but you will have to pay for your visa and flights and any spending money for souvenirs etc, but bonus with the camp progreammes is you go on alot of day trips (new york, orlando etc). You could get a part time job and save up for it in the meantime, it would be a trip of a lifetime! Good luck x
