Alejandro from Monterrey, Mexico went on an exchange to Austria.
I decided to come to Austria as an exchange student for one year because it seemed very fun and exciting. I have been in Austria for almost a year now, and I will finally go back to my family in less than two weeks.
This year has been very interesting and fun. I have learned a lot of new things and met many new people. The school was very nice, and I also made many new friends very quickly. During the year, I faced many challenges—some easy and some very hard—but it was fun because each one taught me something new.
Throughout the year, I also had a lot of fun skiing with my friends in winter, going to pool parties in summer, and attending many Austrian festivals. I will never forget the feeling of eating a schnitzel at the top of a mountain with my host family and becoming a better skier. Going out with friends was also very fun since there was almost always something exciting to do. The Austrian festivals were amazing; they taught me a lot about the culture and people.
