Wilson Family (Taranaki) - March 2017
I don't even know where to start with this. But let's make it easy: actually I just want to say thank you. You all have made my time in New Zealand the best I could have imagined. By the end of my placement now I want to let you know that you're not just my host family. For this year I have been a part of your family and I am proud to say that you feel like a family to me that I never want to miss.

The Lawrence family (Taranaki) - January 2017
I can’t believe that I’m already here for five months; it feels like one week and my whole life at the same time. I feel like a real family member and you are my second family. Home is where the Dome is (famous church in my home town in Germany) and home is where Mount Taranaki is!

The Nathan/ Janssen family (Auckland) - December 2016
I am seriously the luckiest girl in the world. How did I wind up not only living on an island filled with friendly people, fantastic sunny weather and impeccable food, but having the opportunity to live with the most friendly family. Over the past three months, the Nathan/ Janssen family has become my home. I love and cherish the people within this whanau as if they were my own.

The Riley Family (Christchurch) - November 2016
I am living with you for almost four months now and I could not be happier. From the first moment on you welcomed me as a part of your family. I still got my “welcome Sabrina” poster and I will surely take it back home to Germany (or Christchurch, who knows where I really come from?).
