Welcoming a Belgian exchange student?
Welcoming a Belgian exchange student?
I'm doing an exchange student thing where a student from Belgium stays with me for a week (next week) and i stay with her for a week (in 3 weeks time) I've never had a stranger stay with me before and i'm quite nervous as to what she'll think. and my house is pretty small so im worried she'll hate the cramped conditions (although i don't know what her house is like) Since she's coming first i don't quite know how to go about this but so far i've done the following: - shes staying in my sisters room and my sis is gonna bunk with me, so i've cleared that room, made it pretty, towels, toiletries etc - brought nice little furnishings for around the house, nice smelling stuff etc - i found out she likes the wii so i got some new games - and im planning to buy a welcome present- an 'i love london' hoodie So my question is basically what else can i do to make her feel welcome and is the present a stupid idea? (btw she's 16) thanksss a bunch :D xx

You can give her a present if you want, but honestly, the most important thing is for you to make her feel welcome by caring about her and enjoying each other's company. You don't have to go all out, just be friendly and happy with her.

i wonder really spend time taking her out and showing her around, but dont ignore the mundane things(mundane to americans) ppl from outside the us are really curious about every day sorts of thing, like restaurants/malls/cafe's you could start by asking her to create a wish list of things she wants to do especially or try; my cousin who visited me from london wanted to get a pair of levi's 501, so i took him to a mall and an outlet and he loved it and you dont have to spend all your time at home if you dont want, again emphasize what she wants to do and go from there
