Thanksgiving Holidays :)

The weekend before thanksgiving my host family and I made a trip to Colorado to go skiing. We were in Breakenridge which is a beautiful ski area with a gorgeous landscape. We've been there for 5 days and after that we had the thanksgiving holidays.

 A little collage with some photos of our trip.

 The ski Lodge we stayed in. It was perfect *-* , it has even an outside whirl pool!

Decorating for christmas. Hanging up our first ornament on the Christmas tree.

I was also black friday shopping what was a lot of fun and not so busy as expected. 

PS: Happy Kansas Day!

First Post

Ok I guess I'm just starting. I hope it won't bother you that I'm already halfway done with my exchange year. :)

I'm in Shawnee, Kansas and I'm in a public high school with round 2000 students and about 8 exchange students.
My host family consist of 2 older host sisters and one younger host brother.
My organization is AYA or in Germany AIFS.
At first, I had a welcome family from which I had to switch out because of personal reasons of the family. We're still in contact and see each other regularly. Since I got here I already made a trip to Colorado to go skiing and in the beginning of my year I was in New York City for 3 days for the orientation of my organization. I already met some awesome people that I will never forget and memories that definitely will stay in my mind.
I want to share my experience a little bit with future exchange students to get them an impression of how it is.
If you have any questions you can always comment, I'm happy to help. :)
Enjoy!
