Thats awesome!!

When I was in high school we hosted three different exchange students from Costa Rica. 10 months at a time. It was a wonderful experience.

Dude, you'll enjoy yourself. Visiting other countries is the most important education there is. I travel all the time and enjoy it. Just jump right in and be a part of a different culture. Let us know where you're going to be. I'm sure there will be crew O plenty to keep you flying!!

You're in for one of the best and most rewarding experiences in your life. We had the pleasure of hosting an exchange student back in 1974-1975, Maria Cecilia Lorca from Chile, very interesting time in our entire families life.

Good luck, and like the others said, please keep us informed.
