In the past, I have hosted many International students. Some have remained close friends, others we maintain contact by Facebook messages only. I look forward to welcoming you to my home. My three adult children and their families live close by and we see each other often. You will feel very safe and comfortable here. I like to cook and look forward to sharing meals with you. Perhaps you can teach me some of your favorites? I am involved with Opera Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara Symphony and The Music Academy My grand children are at my house frequently. Adorable little ones. They are boy 13 boy 13 girl 10 boy 7 My other grand daughter is 26 and currently living in Australia.
