Meet Laura
Creative, Humble, Open minded
I had a host family once upon a time and came from a completely different country so I can relate to all the difficulties that a new life, in a new country might bring and can help to adjust to it.
On a typical day...
I’m mostly at home/work from home.
When I host guests...
I’m helpful and hands on. I can show them where to go and help them get there.

Hello,my name is Laura and I am a stay at home mom of 2 girls. Vivian is 4 years old and Valeria is 1 year old. My husband and I have built our home last year and have 2 extra rooms and an extra bathroom that we never use and would like to offer to students. Our home has 4 bedrooms in total, 2 full bathrooms and one half bath downstairs. We have currently no pets (our beloved dog died in September). Our neighborhood (Walden neighborhood) is located in Mechanicsburg, about 3 minutes from Carlisle Pike. Our neighborhood is very diverse and kids friendly with some restaurants, hair salon and spa, gym, coffee shop and swimming pool with salt water (open in the summer).
