HOST FAMILY!!!

So here comes the most interesting part of exchange:Getting your host family!

This is probably very late to make a post about this, as I received my host family in May already. But trust me,I am still as excited about it as I was back then.Picture the scenario:I am at my friend's house and she is asking me questions on my exchange and all I can think of is I still don't have my host family.And suddenly my phone beeps and I see there is a mail from AFS and I am thinking maybe its just another form and I open it and I have my family!It was so stunned and so happy!

I was lucky to be placed (relatively) early and be able to communicate and form an evolving relationship with them.

So,My family lives in a city called Tournon-sur-rhône,in the Rhône-Alps region and it's near Lyon (yay).Both my host parents are doctors and I have two host sisters who will be in college in Lyon.

From the multiple exchange of messages with them,they seem like amazing people.

Also,as soon as I got my placement,I started collecting all the information on my host town.

Can you believe I am going to live in this fairy tale like town?C'est comme un rêve!

As for my school,I will go to lycée Gabriel Faire,which is the oldest school in France outside of Paris and is apparently walking distance from the house!

How beautiful is that?I wonder how students get any studies done! I would be swooning all day!Lol!

So,to give you a better idea of my location:

So my town is the one written in red,and its comparatively near to Italy and Switzerland!!!!yay!
