"I stayed in a host family for the whole time I was in Cusco and it was the best experience. My family were incredibly friendly, accommodating and nice, and did everything possible to make me feel comfortable in this new country and help me learn Spanish. You wake up, live, sleep and dream in Spanish, it is fantastic." Tyrone Zafir, Australia
"Our family were very friendly and truly cared about the comfort, health, and safety of their guests...They were always available to bounce ideas off about things to see or do in the area and also to give advice on what things to do or not do in order to stay safe...Add in the fact that the daily Peruvian meals were fantastic (and healthy), safe for tourists' stomachs… we loved being there!" Ernesto and Patty Aguayo, California, USA
"An integral part of my learning Spanish was living in a homestay situation.... I was made to feel very welcome and the whole family made a huge effort to include me in their conversations especially at meal times - an absolute bonus when trying to absorb a new language and also incredible value for your money. I had nothing to think about other than which breathtaking sights of Cuzco to visit in my spare time! The only warning I have is it is really hard to leave." " Jennifer Lyons, Australia
"Our family were amazing, they made me feel right at home. When I got ill at one point in my stay they were so good to me. I am so glad that my friend and I stayed there rather than in a hostel!" Amy Berry, Canada
"My experience with FairPlay was the kind of experience one never forgets. The family were always hospitable, kind and patient with me and I felt apart of the family, not a paying customer. My Spanish lessons were intense, rewarding and always enjoyable and enhanced by the homestay environment. When my parents arrived for my final week, they too were quickly welcomed into the family and room was made for them....I have recommended FairPlay to many people since leaving Cusco and will continue to do so." Sarah Tomas, Australia
“I had so many wonderful experiences with FairPlay. I chose one experience that really resonates in me...I can recall with vibrant clarity one evening spent playing volleyball in the street with my homestay family. I remember it all: the sunset’s pink hues, the children’s excitement, the BBQ’s smells, the music’s energy. It was at that moment that I no longer felt like a stranger in a strange land. I felt quite the opposite. I felt like I was coming home...My family made me feel comfortable and accepted immediately. I did not speak much Spanish, but we conversed at a level appropriate for me. This is a huge confidence booster when you are learning a new language. I feel very lucky to have spent time with my host family. I have returned once since my initial homestay, and I hope to return again soon.” Kristina Kind, California, USA
