When I created my blog almost a year and 10 months ago it was titled emmainamerica2011 and its sole purpose was to keep my friends and family up to date on my 12 months youth exchange journey. After that first post I was overwhelmed with the emotional rollercoaster I had strapped myself into after boarding the airplane with my final destination being Peekskill, New York. I found it less time consuming to simply post short statuses or pictures on Facebook instead. It is now that I look back on my exchange and wish that I had of found time to properly keep a blog journal.
My exchange was the most incredible experience that ended just as quickly as it had begun. I find myself trying to relive it in any way possible; through souvenirs and photos that I hold dearly as I fear that one day every memory of my year on exchange would be lost forever. I have decided that I could now use this blog forum to impart my knowledge and tips from my personal experiences to help other people who are interested or about to depart on their own incredible journey as a foreign exchange student. There is so much that this world has to offer that will broaden ones horizons and open their eyes to unlimited opportunities. I encourage anyone and everyone to travel and explore the far reaches of our Earth.
Remember that an exchange isn’t a year in your life but a life in a year.
Welcome to Youth Exchange 101.
Enjoy! :)
