You might consider hosting a foreign exchange student to test the waters. Check out
AFS Intercultural Programs. We've hosted 6 boys from around the world and next year host our first girl! You can host for 3 months, 6 months or an acadmic year(that's the one we like the best). You provide a bed, roof and 3 meals - at least that's what's required! I'm married to a psychologist and I have a master's in counseling but having a 16 or 17 year can really poke holes in your day!
