The AFS reciprocal program was by far my best ex perience. It was beyond anything I had expected it to be. I have not only learn’t how to be independent but also how to interact with new people and establish a bond that would be lifelong.
Everyday was a new experience wherein I learnt something worth recalling time and again. I have built a strong connection with the city and the house I lived in, but what’s even stronger is the association with my host family, my friends and the wonderful memories that I will cherish all my life. And not to forget the dearest dog, Aika!
