Housing
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: With a family

Had I stayed there I would have had to buy all of my own dishes and cook all my own meals. A friend's family asked me to come and live with them for the year and it turned out to be a brilliant arrangement.
