Erin Welty

CIEE Staff
Host Parent - High School USA Hometown: Cody, WY

Hi!  I'm a host mom in Cody, Wyoming - just 45 minutes east of Yellowstone National Park.  I love the great outdoors, travel and learning new cultures.  I have a grown daugnter of my own, two dogs, two cats and a very patient husband.  I hosted exchange students when my daughter was younger, but decided now that she's on her own our lives were missing having kids in the house.  I'm a huge supporter of the exchange program.  I feel it's so importat for us to share our way of life with these kids who are eager to learn and to learn about their way of life as well.  

I hope to impart some of the things I've learned about hosting along the way and to share our adventures together so that you may become inspired to host an exchange student as well.
