I'm taking part in an exchange and I'm a little nervous... Any advice from those who've experienced it?

Question

YAY! I was chosen to take part in an exchange in England! My person is coming in September, and I am a little nervous... For those who have experienced an exchange, can you give me some advice? Also, how should I act when I get to England?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Congratulations!!!  

Advice:

1. Bring a small present for your family that represents your hometown/state.  My Aussie parents still show off the various Texas magnets/ornaments I&#039;ve sent them over the years.

2. Be open minded about the different types of food.  I found that food was the big non-people aspect of USA life that I missed (no peanut butter?????).  Once I opened my mind and palate to the local treats, I was very pleasantly surprised.

How to act:

1. Respectful

2. Friendly

3. Excited

Have fun!!
