Questions?
We're here to help.

Who is My Family Abroad for?
For families who want to give their children an immersive language experience abroad, without going through an agency.
Can I use MFA if I am a renter?
Yes. Hosting is about welcoming a member of another family, whether you own or rent your home.
Is there a membership commitment?
Signing up is free and involves no subscription. The Season Pass is a one-off payment, valid on every stay through to 31 December 2027.
How do credits work?
Hosting earns credits, travelling spends them. 1 night hosted = 1 credit. 1 credit = 1 night of stay.

Welcome the world.
Travel the world.
