Keith and Doug Byron, a couple from Indiana, welcomed a Danish student into their home in 2022-2023. In this episode, the two of them discuss their initial motivations for hosting, their Danish host son's deep dive into American culture, their family's love of music and video games, and the rewarding connections made with both their student and the community. 

This might sound like a typical conversation with host parents- and honestly, it is! The fact that Keith and Doug are a same-sex couple really doesn't matter- AFS-USA knows that all types of families can provide a welcoming, caring home for an exchange student. In fact, this past year, 39 same-sex couples hosted students with AFS-USA. No matter what your household looks like, you can learn more about hosting a student this upcoming school year at afsusa.org/host.
