We hosted a few to help out with childcare at a few busy times. Overall good..but not doing it again. From a host pov, you have an extra guest in the house to entertain, transport, feed etc. But had some lovely girls, some were great cooks, some good fun.
From a workawayer pov, one said we were the best host..some just want to work you, don't give any socialization opportunities, some places are isolated etc.
I would like to do it at some stage, some really interesting hosts in workaway.
