What our customers are saying
“We really can’t place our finger on the exact moment Camila felt part of our family, because our boys fell in love with her almost immediately
She earned their mutual respect with quiet, kind, and calm authority. We now eat arepas and listen to Guayacán, a Colombian orchestra. We are actively planning our family vacation to the coffee region of Colombia, as well!”
Nicole, host mom in California
