Meet Simon from the Czech Republic! Simon is a 16-year-old international exchange student attending high school in Florala, AL. He's already enjoying life in your community, but we need to find him a welcoming host family to continue his amazing exchange experience!
Simon is passionate about sports, especially basketball and Muay Thai, and loves staying active at the gym. He trains in Muay Thai twice a week and has a knack for discipline and focus. Basketball is one of his favorite hobbies-he practices regularly and looks up to players from Spain and the Czech Republic.
When he’s not staying active, Simon enjoys spending time outdoors, cooking with his family, and learning about new cultures. He’s excited to continue improving his English and becoming part of a family that shares his love for sports, adventure, and meaningful connections.
Hosting Simon is an opportunity to share your daily life with a bright, motivated student and create memories that last a lifetime. If you’re in Florala, AL, and would like to open your home to Simon, let’s connect today!
As a host, you'll offer three meals daily, transportation, and a comfy bed with space to study. Whether you're a bustling household or a quiet retreat, we believe families come in all shapes and sizes - just like our students!
