“Having student visitors from Lyon thanks to Go World was a remarkable experience for my students in French. They were able to have genuine conversations in the target language and they enjoyed being able to show them their campus and various classes throughout the day.”

“I've been a Coordinator with Go World for a bit now here in NY. The quick responses and communication have been the best by far that I have ever experienced with any exchange company. I love that Go World is attentive to the host families, children, and the coordinators. There is no other foreign exchange company I will ever work for other than Go World.”

“Thousands of miles away from my family, I found a new home with Cindy at Apple Valley, CA. Love and affection I received made my exchange experience memorable and transformative, setting me on my path to Harvard where I am today. The exchange program brought me not only new friends and experiences, but also a family in the US to love and care for.”

About Our Founder, Cindy

It all started years ago when our founder's youngest daughter was sitting at the dining room table and said we should host an exchange student. Her youngest daughter was thinking the house was going to be too empty because her older sister was off to college. Cindy, being busy running her escrow company and raising a family, responded with “We don't have time for that.” Then a letter came across her desk asking people to host exchange students. Next thing she knew she was hosting a boy from Serbia and a girl from Germany. Well let's just say after that hosting opportunity was over and she realized how much she and her family had been forever changed. She was hooked. During the past 12+ years Cindy has been blessed to connect with so many students, student’s families, coordinators, host families and partners from many areas of our world. She also has been lucky enough to travel the world and add to the adventure. Cindy is passionate about helping students from all over the world experience new cultures and make connections with people from different backgrounds. This passion is what led to forming Go World to share the wonders of cultural exchange.
