“My time was flying by and I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed it actually it so much that I really didn’t want to go home. I was kind of nervous when I left on the 9th of January, I remember sitting with my family at the airport in Austria but it wasn’t hard to say goodbye as I am an emotional person and I knew that I would see them again anyway.
I spent most of my 5 months in the wonderful old nice town of Listowel in the northern part of Kerry. I had wonderful host parents. I often went with my host family for walks with the dog on the beach near the famous village Ballybunion. My host mom is a perfect cook and I will miss the food..
School was different to school at home but I liked going there and in the end I started to like my school uniform. I think it always depends on what you make of your exchange. I saw a lot of different parts of our region and Irish people are really nice and friendly, and so you just have to start talking to them and will meet the most wonderful people in this world.
I can really recommend this organisation.”
