Meet a CIEE New England Host Family

​The Daley family resides in Hopkinton, MA, a quintessential New England town roughly 30 miles west of Boston. They have hosted students from Brazil, China, Norway, Finland, Germany, and Italy. This year they hope to host a boy and a girl in their home. Any student would be lucky to be placed with this outstanding family!
