Banking Memories
When you gain new perspectives from living abroad, you invest in yourself in a way that lasts a lifetime.
About Us
We're dedicated to help you live your dreams of exploring the world.
Travel is the antidote to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness (Mark Twain). Everyone should have the opportunity to broaden their perspectives by experiencing another culture.
That's why we work with local families who want to host someone who speaks English. We screen both our host families and our Travelers to ensure everyone is as safe as possible. Then we help with introductions and arrangements. (Don't worry, you get to make the final decision on your host family!)
As you discover a new country, a new lifestyle, and a new culture, you'll also discover a lot about yourself.

How we keep it safe
Every placement, the same care
Screened
Both families and Travelers are screened, so everyone is as safe as possible.
Matched
You browse real host-family profiles and make the final decision yourself.
In writing
Duties, pay, and time off are set in a written agreement before you fly.
Supported
Real people check in throughout — with a rematch option if the fit isn't right.
Rome Abroad is a small, personalized team led by Program Director Stefania Losee, who reviews the facts behind every program page and guide we publish. When you reach out, it's always a real person who answers, not a ticket queue.
Our Mission
We're not just here to send you abroad; we're here to help you grow. As you explore a new country, lifestyle, and culture, you'll discover more about yourself than ever before. Confidence, lifelong friendships, and a broader worldview are just some of the gifts that come with stepping outside your comfort zone.
We're dedicated to:
- Creating amazing travel experiences
- Broadening perspectives through cultural exchange
- Helping children abroad learn English while forming lasting connections
- Combating prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness
