Bec Graham - QLD to Italy

Sat 21 Feb 2009

Rebecca Graham from Keperra, QLD is currently on exchange in Italy on a year program. She wrote to us to let us know how she was going:

“So I have nearly been in Italy for a month now and well there is so much to say. My family, school and lifestyle is completely different from the one I had lived in Australia. My classmates are awesome. They are very understanding and are always asking what I am learning and if I need help with anything. I have also started to make my own friends away from my host sister which I think is a positive sign.

I wake up and ride a bike to the bus stop then catch a bus to and from school. In Australia I always got driven from place to place, so that was a bit different. I think I got home sick for a couple of days but I tried not to think about it and I knew it would go away.

It did not really hit me that I was in Italy until I met my host family at the airport, which was amazing. The mother is a great cook she told me that food is her passion...I can live with that hehehe!

Well that’s it for now”

Ciao,
Bec
