Fourteen days

One of my favorite things about exchange was gaining a second family. These past four weeks have been amazing for me, because my host sister came to visit. My German parents have also been here for the past couple days. It has been so much fun reminiscing on old times and sharing our favorite moments from that year we were together. It was fun to see what each of us had remembered, and old memories were brought to the forefront of my mind once more. Exploring Hamburg with my host sister, eating spicy food with my host dad, gallivanting through Weihnachtsmärkte with my host mom… It made me nostalgic and homesick for my other home.
However, it also reignited the excitement for my next year. I absolutely cannot wait to develop such relationships with my future host families and friends in Taiwan! I cannot wait to learn the language and culture! And, as of today, I am only two weeks away from starting this next adventure!
