Welcome to my blog! Here I will be recording my day to day life as I experience it in Denmark on my year long youth exchange!
My name is Fiona Seabrook and I’ve been accepted into
the Rotary Youth Exchange Program to spend an entire school year abroad in
Denmark for 2017-2018. Currently I am a
sophomore at Red Hook High School, but I am originally from Woodstock, NY. I
have a passion for learning and traveling, as well as music and the
environment. I love to sing and play the ukulele, and also previously played
the cello. My family values curiosity, and I’ve been traveling since I was very
young.

About the Rotary Youth Exchange Program-
The Rotary Youth Exchange Program is open to any secondary
school student between the ages of 15-17. These students will travel abroad and
live with 2-3 different host families during the period of one year. (There is
no such thing as a “typical family” so staying with multiple host families
allows the student to have a more well-rounded experience) Rotary Youth
Exchange students exhibit above average academic skills, demonstrated
leadership in their community, outgoing personalities, and receptivity to new
experiences and cultural differences. For more information visit:
I can't wait to embark on this amazing journey and share it with you! I will be posting pictures and descriptions of my days in Denmark, a "word of the day" (a new Danish word that I learn) every day as well as a picture thanking those who support me through my GoFundMe page!
