Testimonials

“I visited literary free (I only paid the plane tickets) an hidden magical place in dr congo during summer. I lived with the locals, I got to understand the culture and it was overall an experience I’ll forever cherish. In exchange I only had to volunteer 5 hours a day 3 days a week; offered free lectures; gave to charity, and left the community better than i found. Amazing! It would not have been possible without this website. I highly recommend Visamate. I’ll definitely use it again soon”

“I stayed with my host Jesus (lol, not the biblical Jesus) in Rio for 5 weeks. Jesus is a great person, he is very passionate about brazilian and american cultures: he knows a lot about history, he cooks very well and he is an artist, then he can explain many things about painting, architecture and sculpture. He is a super kind person and he has a very generous heart. We had so much fun while we speak all the time in English above all, but he also helped me to improve my Português. I will absolutely reciprocate the hospitality. Bravo Visamate!”

“Visamate is amazing!! I can’t believe such a platform exists and when I found it I was entirely thrilled!! Both me and my sister are using it and we are so thankful. I was able to travel Canada and see places I’ve always dreamed of. My sister also found a host family in Australia and flew to Sydney 2 weeks ago to visit. I think anyone (young or old) who discovers Visamate will be amazed and intrigued. It’s the perfect thing for any person wanting to see the world.”

“I am really very satisfied with the Visamate platform. I signed up for VisaMate a little less than 4 months ago and I have already managed to do my first exchange. I am loving the experience and the support never leaves anything to be desired. I would recommend Visamate a thousand times to anyone who wants to have amazing experiences around the world!”

“Such a life changing online service! It’s been allowing me to travel to europe and americas for years as a “local” for a fraction of the money one would normally spend. Highly recommended. Much thanks to Visamate. Much thanks to my hosts in diaspora. Cheers!”

“I love vISAMATE, my hosters abroad couldn’t be better, I had my own room with toilette. I also has WiFi. But the best Thing is the posibility of cultural exchange and Learn about so many tema. I Just left my hosters, and I think we make a really nice friendship”

“It was through Visamate that I found my hosts. I had the best cultural experience in Greece and Morroco and found life long friends. I can’t wait to see who I will meet and collaborate with on my next Visamate experience. I am super motivated to emulate the hospitable gesture by also hosting international friends in my country. Recommend it 100%”

“I had my first experience with Visamate last week in the UK. My hosts are middled-aged britons who live in Edinburgh, Scotland at a farm and I’m very happy about it. It was a special experience not only for the geographical and cultural exchange but also for the first-hand experience with exotic nature and animals. In my daily life as an accountant at a local firm in Gaborone I spent in a different environment was really useful to take a break and to breath new air. I would suggest Visafest to anyone who would like to experience something new abroad and in the home country.”

“I just finished my first host visit travel in Israel at a farm with a wonderful woman. She was so so nice and i had a great time. I felt so welcome and met a lot of her friends and family too. Visamate is great for people who are open to learn more about the locals of a country and not just the big cities. It surpasses expectations and even on my second second travel, which i am doing right now, it is as advertised and promised. I recommend it to anyone who wants to undertake budget travel overseas”
