Boden, Sweden Wow! Only 34 more days till I leave. It is all coming by so fast. It seemed like yesterday it was 50 days. Before I leave I'm trying to spend as much time with my friends here in Tahoe. I am going to be spending a year in Boden, Sweden. Boden is located in the far northern part of Sweden. It is 51 miles from the Arctic Circle. It has about 28,000 people. The summer's have long days and nice temperature's and the winter's are exactly the opposite. My host parents both work at the school I am going to. My host mother teaches Swedish and English and my host dad is a technician. Their house is right on the Lulea river and looks quite beautiful! There is also a ski hill in Boden, so hopefully I'll be able to do some downhill skiing while I'm here. I'm very excited for this amazing opportunity! I'm writing this blog so I can share and capture my experiences throughout this whole year long journey. Enjoy!
