Hallo,
Made it to Germany all safe and well.
I have already having the best time of my life, this is even better than anything I could imagine.
When I woke up after my first night I opened my window to a soft layer of snow falling, it is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
My host family are very nice and very helpful, I couldn't ask for better.
I have already tried many food (some good and others I can do without).
I started school my second day in Germany and I am starting to really fit in. Everyone is so nice and I have friends that are taking me dancing, to dinner with their families and shopping for school clothes!
Thank you for the amazing opportunity, I am only a few days in and my life is forever changed.
Kind Regards
Grace Reiter
