How YouPursue Works

Our innovative peer-to-peer exchange model connects students and families directly, creating meaningful cultural exchanges without the high costs of traditional programs.

Sign Up & Create a Profile

Share your interests, country preferences, and exchange duration to get started on your journey.

Complete our comprehensive application form with information about your personality, interests, hobbies, background, and what you hope to gain from the exchange experience. Upload photos and a personal video to help your match get to know you better.

Get Matched

Connect with like-minded students and their families from around the world.

Our team carefully matches you with compatible exchange partners based on shared interests, complementary personalities, and mutual exchange goals. You don't choose your partner directly - we handle the matching process to ensure the best possible fit. Once matched, you'll get to know your exchange partner through our guided introduction process for an enriching exchange experience.

Connect & Plan

Communicate directly with your exchange partner and their family to establish rapport and plan details.

Once you're matched, engage in video calls to get to know each other better. Discuss expectations, daily routines, school requirements, and any other important aspects of your exchange. Our team provides guidance throughout this process to ensure all important topics are covered.

Travel & Experience

Embark on your exciting exchange adventure with the support of your host family and our team.

After finalizing plans and completing safety preparations, book your flight to your host country. After booking your flight, your host family will welcome you into their home, and you'll begin attending a local school. Throughout your stay, you'll participate in family activities, explore the local culture, and develop your language skills.

Host in Return

Complete the circle by offering the same enriching experience to your exchange partner.

After your time abroad, it's your turn to host your exchange partner. You'll welcome them into your home, introduce them to your family, friends, and school, and help them experience your culture firsthand. This reciprocal arrangement creates a balanced exchange and deepens the connection between both families.
