The Hummel family has found a unique way to spread the word about the host parent experience: TikTok! With over 125,000 followers at their account @Josiewhite201, they have successfully shared with the world the value that an exchange student can bring to their family and community.
Joselyn and Devin Hummel have hosted two AFS exchange students and are eagerly awaiting their third. During the early days of their second student's year in Missouri, Joselyn stumbled upon TikTok and was inspired to share their experiences on the platform. Over the past year, they have posted all sorts of clips, ranging from funny and quirky to heartwarming and touching.
In this episode, Joselyn and Devin will share their journey of becoming AFS host parents, the invaluable lessons they've learned along the way, and the insightful advice they have for potential host parents. They will also talk about their TikTok experience and how they've utilized the platform to reach an impressive community, all while spreading the importance and value of intercultural exchange.
