I will be living with my first host family for the first 3-4 months. I will be living with them in a small village called "Sdr. Vissing" which is population 400. The nearest town is Brædstrup, which is where my host club is located. My host mother (Karin), is a Kindergarden teacher at the local school. My host father (Kim), is a teacher in math and physics. I have 2 host brothers, David (18) and Simon (16). David was on Rotary Exchange last year to Canada and stayed in Hamilton. Simon is leaving for his Rotary Exchange early August, and is leaving for Brazil. Having been on an exchange to Canada last year, I think David and I will have alot to talk about. The bus ride to the school that both of us attend is about 1 hour, so having a conversation starter will really help!
The May long weekend Ottawa Trip is coming up, and I'm getting really stoked. I'm really looking forward to it because I will get to see all the Inbound Exchangers in the district. The first time I met them all, I was only there for a few hours, and didn't get to know very many people, other then Nanna from Denmark. The weekend, will get me to know everyone alot better, and it is also our last big get together as outbounds before we go away and start our exchange. I think I'm going to pack my guitar for the little trip up to Ottawa. We are staying at Carelton University residence, which is great for me because, I am interested in going to Carelton for Journalism after highschool. It will be cool to go around Ottawa, with students from all over the world, taking pictures and what not. It will be tons of fun.
There is a picture of the Bækgaard's below. I was told that it was taken on a northern beach in Denmark 2 years ago before David went to Canada on his exchange. I'll update this later, probably after the Ottawa trip. I'll have loads of pictures too.
Cheers,
Dillon
