The start

I've always longed to this moment: the moment I could walk out the door, discover a new place and meet new people. But now the moment has arrived, I'm pretty nervous. I remember a participant of AFS saying 'it was like jumping in a black hole' and on this moment it actually feels like this. But at the same time, I'm also feeling very excited. Somewhere, I think I like the feeling of not knowing what will happen next.
So, tomorrow is the big day for me. This week, I've done everything I should have done before I leave. I've said goodbye to my family and friends, I went shopping to buy some new clothes and shoes and I packed my bags. In the morning, I will leave.
I'm also very curious. I wonder if I will make friends, if I will get along with my host family,...
Let's hope I will!
With all those preparations for my journey, I would totally forget summer holidays will end next week. It's gonna be weird going to a new school without my friends. I'm gonna miss them (I hope they read this ) .
I guess the only way to find out how it will work out is to go and just live in the moment. So, I'M READY TO GO!!!! 

Hey everyone! The last four days were less 'boring' for me. Friday evening, I received the news that the welcome picnic would unfortunately not take place due to the bad weather conditions. I was quite dissapointed, but they are already looking for a new date. Instead of going to the picnic, I have spent some time with my family. First, we visited Elbow. It's a small, but pretty village where films like James Bond were shoot (that's what my host father told me). It has also an ancient look (like I've already mentioned before in a previous post). Then we made a walk through the forrest where we were looking for mushrooms. First, I didn't know which ones were edable and which ones weren't. But after some time, I was able to find some. That same evening we went to Karlsberg where a light festival was hold. It's touristic, but can also be very cosy. In the evening, it made me think of cities like Rome. The light festival itself was also very well done. ...

Friday morning, my adventure had begun!  Me, my mum and my sister went to the airport where I would leave at 10am . So at 8.30am, we were drinking a coffee or a fruit juice when my sister suddenly saw my flight was delayed! We rebooked and my new departure time was at 16.30pm. I didn't like it at all! I was ready to say goodbye, and then it all changed. We decided to visit Brussels and eat French fries for the last time. After all, it was a nice way to end my summer in Belgium. We went back to the airport and after still an hour of retardation,  I could finally leave! The flight itself was not that long, but I was getting a little bit afraid of what would happen next. But when I arrived, that feeling quickly changed.  I had heard that Czech  people could be really distant , but they instantly hugged me.  Normally, I'm really shy, but when I am nervous, I can actually be very talkactive.  And it was the perfect moment for that to happen! I like talked to ...

Here I am again to disturb you with a short summary of my little 'adventures'. Let's start to say that the weeks after my previous post weren't the most difficult ones for me, but certainly the most confusing. First, I had (like I said) a camp. There was unbelievable much fun: we played games, talked about our families and school, learned things to eachother about our countries,... etc. I felt relieved that there were people that felt the same way I did. Sometimes, you would forget that and you would think you're the only one in the world who's doing this. But at the other side, it was also hard for me. Most students stay for a year and I realised I would propably never experience this exchange fully. I simply don't have enough time to do that. So, sunday I came home in the evening and the next morning, I immediately went to school again and I felt bad. It was so weird: I wanted to stay longer, to get more time to get used here, but at the same time, I wan...
