Will you have a traveling companion?
This escorted tour involves an amount of walking or hiking, often on uneven terrain, and reaches high altitudes. It requires a good level of physical fitness to fully enjoy the trip.
Do let us know of any medical problems, essential medications etc.
We plan a post-exchange tour of Machu Picchu and other Inca areas (approx one week)
It is essential that participants secure travel insurance including medical & cancelation cover, and advise the Exchange Director of the Policy and its contact information.
Does it cause you much concern if your host smokes or keeps domestic animals?
Friendship Force International considers each Ambassador and Host to be a "Citizen Diplomat," a person committed to improving international relations through people-to-people diplomacy during and after the exchange. To help judge your application, please write briefly in the space below a personal goal that you wish to accomplish through this exchange. Think about how you can keep these personal and institutional relationships alive after you return home.
Your club president or former exchange director can give you a reference.
