Yaaay!! After all this time, I finally got my host family! I have had so much excitement during this process, but this is probably best news yet! It is really sinking in fast that I will be in a new country in less than 3 weeks!
Well, here's a little bit about them!! I have a host mother, father, and a sister. My host sister is a year younger than me; she just turned 16!!! I was hoping this would happen so I could have someone show me around (although I'm sure my family will do that anyway),and just someone my age to kick it with!
My host mother is the same age as my mom, and the father is not that much older! They live in Matera, which is Southern Italy! I immediately looked up the city and read everything about it and IT. IS. AMAZING! It is a very historic place and, get this, The Passion of the Christ was filmed in the exact city! I can't wait to get there and see it for myself!! In less than 3 weeks I will be living like a true Italian!! (and eating some really great food) Lol!
Until next time, Arriverderci!! :)

ReplyDeleteHi! My name is Diana Hart. I am going to Italy this summer with AFS, too! I'm going to Southern Italy. I saw your blog address on the AFS Blogs page. I'm leaving from NY on the 27th at 8:45, just like you. You can find my on Facebook. If you don't, then I'll see you in three days!
ReplyDeleteHey, my name is Alyson and I have just started applying to study abroad my senior year with AFS and YFU and Italy is my first choice. I have also started a blog but it is not as exciting to read like yours! Good luck this summer and I hope you have a wonderful time!!
ReplyDeleteHi Aly! Good luck with everything! It's a long process but it's exciting and fun. Italy is beautiful! been here almost 3 weeks already! The food, shopping, beaches, everything is great and the people are so nice!
