Tell us about your host family and what it’s like living with a British family!
I have a big energy and my host parents have matched that energy luckily, so [we got along] very well. But you have to remember about my host family, they are BRITISH. That means that you may experience some things you probably have never seen before, like drinking tea with milk. Also the popular “English Breakfast” is a thing, but I surprisingly really liked that.

What was your favourite experience with your host family?
My favourite experience was buying the Christmas tree together. We got a very big one, it was even bigger than me! It was so chaotic but also funny, because I had to carry the whole tree on a shopping cart, through the whole supermarket. So I really had to pay attention not to run over anyone.

What was the most challenging part of your exchange?
I didn’t really have challenging parts while I was abroad. Of course there are always little difficulties, but none of those are big enough to mention. That’s normal life. In my opinion many students who are going to do exchange years have too many worries.

What was the best part of your exchange?
The best part about my exchange was definitely meeting loads of lovely and awesome people, friends, family.

What would you say to any prospective students thinking about an exchange in the UK?
Don’t worry that much about the things that could go wrong – look forward! Everything is going to be great. Go outside, meet your friends and explore!
