The AFS Quiz
AFS want you to have the best possible exchange you can. Spreading your wings and heading off overseas is a real adventure. But we also want to make sure you go to a country that will work for you.
You may have a place in mind and think it's perfect and it might be, but equally, you may be suited to a country that has never crossed your mind. We want you to keep an open mind and think outside the box!
This quiz is a quick way to find out what countries might best match your personality, hobbies and likes. Read more
