My First 2 Weeks in Sweden  July 29th I departed from the Reno Airport to leave for my year long exchange. I was mixed with different emotions, as I left my parents to board the plane. I was excited to be traveling to a new place but I was also nervous an sad to leave my parents, friends, and home for a whole year. Traveling Traveling to Boden, Sweden was a bit hectic. I had a long flight iteriary, so it took about 27 hours to finally arrive. I departed from Reno airport early in the morning to fly to Seattle. There I had about a 4 hour layover which I took a nap. The flight from Seattle to Frankfurt, Germany took about 10 hours. I didn't get much sleep, as there was a kid crying about half of the time in front of me.  From Frankfurt I went North to Stockholm. That whole time I was flying with the same carrier, so my bags were supposed to go all the way through, to my final destination. When I got to the Stockholm airport all my bags where out at the baggage claim. I had...

December Update

December Update  Well, it's been awhile since I've written anything on here. I'll try to summarize my past few months as best as I can. I will also try to write more on this blog and document my different adventures better. Haha School There has been up and downs for my experience in Swedish school.

Language Camp, School, and Wildlife Camp Well, I can now say that I've been here for over a month. A lot has happened since I've arrived in Sweden. I'll try not to write too much about each event, as there has been a lot going on! Language Camp After spending around 2 weeks in Sweden I went to an Orientation camp with 29 other exchange students from all around the world. I had the best of time there. We learned about the basics of the Swedish Language and more about the Swedish culture. It was so amazing meeting new people from all around the globe. This camp was held in a hotel in Sundsvall. It is quite a pretty city there and we got to go walk and look around one day. I think the best part of the camp was just spending time with the other exchange student. It is amazing to hear more about different cultures and just meeting new people. Most nights we stayed up late, talking until we felt that we were too tired. In our introduction to the Swedish Language we played ...
