Mi experiencia con Jim y May fue realmente provechosa, desde el primer contacto ellos mostraron su profesionalismo y compromiso, Siempre estuvieron pendientes de cumplir con mi clase de ingles diaria, ademas de eso compartieron sus tips y experiencia en su negocio online , son super amigables y nobles, Me inspiraron a seguir sus pasos. Son personas que uno quiere tener cerca siempre. Son el mejor equipo de esposos que he conocido!.

We applied for this experience expecting to learn more about Guatemala and to explore a bit on our own. What we got out of it was so much more. Krista is a wonderful, kind, and open-minded hostess. She's passionate about her country, and we learned so much about Guatemala from her. Our classes were focused on conversation, especially around things Krista is interested in, such as marketing and online business. We have a great time staying with Krista, and we ended up with a new friend and many fond memories. We 100% recommend this experience. ¡Muchas gracias, Krista!
