I was born in San Jose, Costa Rica and moved to the United States at the age of seven. My family has always hosted students and travelers from all parts of the world. My first experiences were in Costa Rica as a child, which brings back many fond memories. In the United States, I had the opportunity to not only befriend my host sisters and brothers but also attend a University with them. At San Diego State University, I was able to earn a Bachelors of Science degree and graduate at the same time as one of my host sisters.
I now live in Sacramento, California and I love it here. Hosting international students and travelers is a very rewarding experience. It gives my family and me an opportunity to learn about different culturesand teach others about American culture and values. I hope your experience here will be as great as mine is.I am looking forward to working with you.
Best wishes,
Tanisha Mayers
We look forward to working with you!
