It's crazy how fast time flies! In just 22 days I'll be making my way to Denmark!
Since my last post, there have been several new developments. I now know that I will be living in Rønde, Denmark which is about 30 minutes outside of Aarhus (the second largest city in Denmark). I will also being going to school at Rønde Gymnasium.

I have also recently gotten my flight information. I will be leaving on August 5th and arrive in Denmark on August 6th. It's about an 8 hour flight from New York to Copenhagen, which will make it the longest flight I've ever been on!
I have been in contact with two of my three host families, and they all seem like extremely nice, patient people who will make living abroad a comfortable experience for me. I will have a host brother while living with both families, which is something new to me because I've grown up with two sisters. My first host family has an older daughter who just graduated, so she won't be around while I'm there, and my second host family has a daughter my age, but she is going on exchange to Peru while I will be staying with her family. I wish her the best of luck on her exchange!
As of right now I know that my first host family has an 11 year old dog named Ziggi, I'm not sure if my other families have any pets. I've never had a dog before, so I'm very excited!

As my departure gets closer, I will be busy packing and saying goodbye to my friends, family, and home for the past 16 years of my life. It's bittersweet, but I am beyond excited to be embarking on this journey, and I can't wait to see what this year will have in store.
