Hello to all out there! I am writing to share our recent experience of
being a host family for a German girl here in Canada. Due to a tight
working schedule starting right after university I never had the time
or chance to go abroad and experience different cultures through a stay
abroad. But I always wanted to get in touch with other cultures and
learn about them. So I decided to bring the cultural experience to me
and my family.
Until last week a
German girl who took an

course Canada stayed with us. It was a great adventure and a big
success for both sides. Her English was already pretty good as she
already took a two-week

Hawai ” last year and we had no problems at all to communicate
with her. While she of course was able to further deepen her language
skills and to experience the Canadian culture in a Canadian family we
also learned a lot about her culture and Europe as a whole. She cooked
typical German meals for us and even taught us a little German! In fact
her and my daughter (who are almost the same age) became really good
friends so my daughter decided to continue the cultural exchange and
visit her in Germany next year! There they will explore Germany and
after that they are planning on doing a tour through Great Britain
together. Can anyone give me advice on how to travel best through the
Great Britain? Does anyone have any experience with the

passes ? I think this is a great chance for my daughter and I was
able to see from our guest how much one can gain through such a stay
abroad.
All in all this was a great
opportunity for us to widen our horizons and I would recommend this to
anyone who is open-minded and wants to get in touch with other
cultures.
