--My Hobbies--
I love the outdoors and I love to exercise. I am a certified homestay provider for Kaplan and Solex language schools located in Chicago.
Our homestay is a short 10 minute walk (past the police station and library) to the forest park blue line station- which runs 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
I have always loved animals and really enjoy people of all ages.
I do hosting because it enriches my life. When people come together from all over the US and the world, long lasting friendships form. Also Chicago is one of the most beautiful American cities, and I love showing people things about this city and it’s surrounding suburbs that they would not otherwise see. And because of this I really do my best to create a fun, and warm environment for every student.

It s not a real homestay because she doesn t live with us. Even if she was nice with me at the beginning, she wasn t that much with the other guys. The house is not very clean, the breakfast is not included, the rooms are very very small (especially if you stay is the basement).
July 2015
Rooms are nice and clean. Each floor has separate refrigirator. Amenties includes: Kitchen,Microwave,water dispenser cum filter, dish washer, Washing machine and Dryer. Forrest Park(Blue line) and Harlem(Green), both train station are very near to the house(within 0.5 mile). Also you will get to meet people from around the world mainly student and intern.
