Home Sweet Home




The view from the back door to the garages and garden

As I've mentioned in my "Who Am I?" and if you know me you'd know- I was an exchange student during high school, giving me a sense of having a 2nd home here in Germany. This weekend I got the opportunity to visit one of my host families and it's such a great feeling to regain the sense of home and being with people that I've known for 6+ years. I got to see my "extended" family- host aunts, uncles, and cousins while I was there as well.
Helping with English homework!
Studying abroad, whether it's in high school or in college, is such an amazing experience and it helps to build relationships on a personal level- most of which will be lifelong if maintained. Living with a host family is an amazing opportunity, so if you ever get the chance, take advantage of it! It also goes full circle, if you ever get the chance to host a student- do it! (My family has as well!)

It's always great to feel at home- especially when it's 4 000+ miles from home. <3
