International Friendship Exchange

Global Friendship Exchange

Do you enjoy traveling to other countries? Do you look forward to meeting people from other cultures? Did you know there’s a great way to travel and have memorable cross-cultural experiences with Visamate? There is! It’s called the Global Friendship Exchange.

It is an international exchange arrangement for Visamate members from one country to travel to another for fellowship and fun. Participants are encouraged to take turns hosting one another in their homes (if possible).

The international buddies may travel as individuals, couples, families, or groups.

Bring the World to Your Community

Visamate is dedicated to improving international understanding. To achieve this, we encourage intercultural friendships for international citizens through our homestay arrangements.

What are the benefits?

  • Learn about other cultures, including the people, food, languages, customs/daily living, and history
  • Broaden intercultural understanding, learn ways your culture is similar and different from your host’s culture
  • Establish friendships for a lifetime
  • Establish a foundation for service
  • Participate in or support a grant project
  • Explore a profession in a different context

Do more ...

On a friendship exchange trip, you are never just a tourist.  You will be at liberty to explore and discover new cultures and become aware of diverse perspectives or ways of thinking.
It is a wonderful way to make new friends anywhere in the world and establish international service partnerships. In fact, when you work on a project with another visamate in a foreign country, you could inquire about doing a friendship exchange with the other members’ families.
