PRESENTING YOURSELF
Between both the filters that you selected (general and specific), and your cover letter, your profile should be very clear. However, just in case, here is some useful advice on how to better describe oneself.
- Describe your home: If you would like to host another member, it is important that they have some idea of where they will be. Whether you live in the countryside or a city, close or far from amenities, in the mountains or by the coast etc.
- Be honest: Your habits, customs, tastes, needs and reasons for wanting to travel or host. You can also describe the kind of person you are looking for.
-
You could make a video, copy and paste the YouTube link into your cover letter. A video is an original way of introducing yourself that gives confidence to the other families browsing.
