How I did it: I went potluck for my college roommate (random person) and I ended up paired with an exchange student from france! Through her I've been able to meet a ton of other exchange students from all over the world... England, France, Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Mexico, Italy... and many others. Each person has so much to offer on their views of life. 

Lessons & tips: If you're at a loss on where to find these people from other countries, you might try couchsurfing.com where you can offer to meet people from other places and show them around your town (you don't have to offer your couch)
