Im 17 I've alredy check on pair websites but that's not really what I expected, I dont want to be paid for services, just want to live "with" the family. Do you know a family or someone who can help me or who's interest by? Thank you very much. Clém.

Answer 1

You should maybe try contacting your high school or where you get your passports to see if they have some kind of foreign exchange program

Answer 2

It is best if you do it through an organization.  This way they will help you be placed in a school, get all of the required paperwork, a visa, and place you with a family that would be a best match for you.
