Dear Host Family,

Hello! My name is Banetsi, and I’m so excited to be joining your family soon. First, thank you so much for opening your home and welcoming me — it really means a lot.

I’m twenty – nine years old and come from Cape Town, South Africa . Back home, I live with my extended family and in my free time I enjoy hiking, sports, cooking, music, reading, traveling, and volunteering for any good course.

One of the things I’m really looking forward to is learning about your culture and daily life. I’d also love to share a bit of mine with you — whether it’s through food, language, or just stories about home.

I imagine we’ll spend time together doing small everyday things, but I think those will be the most meaningful. I can’t wait to get to know you better, learn from you, and hopefully bring some joy and good memories to your family too.

Thank you again for welcoming me — I’m truly looking forward to this experience with you!

Warm hugs,
Banetsi
