Hello!

Hello everyone! Welcome to The Next Page. I created this blog to share pictures of my time abroad in the next 10 weeks. This is the first time I will be living in a different country and I am very excited! 😄

Here's what I will be doing:

First of all, my mom and I will be visiting Spain for about 5 days. We will be going to Madrid and Toledo!

Then we will head to my first host family's home in Montpellier, France. I will be staying with Emilie (the girl who I'm doing the exchange with) and her family for a month!

After my time with Emilie in Montpellier, I will go to my next host family's home in La Motte-Servolex which is near Chambéry. I will be doing an exchange with a girl named Oriane for another month.

From Oriane's home, I will travel to Paris and stay there with a local family for a few days!

I'm doing the two exchanges using a site called Lingoo. It is a website to find exchange partners as well as language teachers and paid homestays. The best thing about the exchanges that I am doing is that they are free (except for the plane tickets, of course) and that the French girls will come here in the summer for a month each!
