Welcoming Family

I'm so delighted! I received an email informing me of host arrangements! Unfortunately, I will only be with them for my first three weeks. That aside, I'm still very grateful and very excited. I should receive a permanent host family, hopefully soon. I could find out about the host arrangements as late as I'm with my host family. I leave for Frankfort on September fifth. I will most likely ride a train to the state where they live.

It's a household of five, a mother, father, and three kids. The eldest son is 18, the daughter is 15, and the youngest is 11. They live in what they say is "a very small town." However, it's a close-knit community where everyone knows everyone well. Their home is "cozy" (which is always a plus), and they own quite an array of animals. They have a large garden, which means lots of fresh food! The parents are doctors in a neighboring town.

While viewing their profile, I liked their love for the great outdoors. They love canoeing, horseback riding, cycling, and much more! I look forward to getting my hands dirty in the garden and trying out horseback riding for the first time. They are a welcoming family and love trying new things. Flexibility is what they strive for, and they seem to be a beautiful family.

I look forward to spending my first month in Germany with them and can't wait for the adventures in store. Now all I have to do is pack, by host gifts, get materials, study up on the language and history, prepare for departure, and raise funds. Whew, quite a lot. You could help me out by donating here or supporting me by sharing the link to the fundraiser and my blog!

Auf Wiedersehen
