"I wanted to be different"

Datum: 16. 3. 2013

Tessa is an exchange student from the Netherlands. She didn´t want to be like the most of the exchange students who go to the US, and decided to go to the Czech Republic. A country that is not too much know in her homecountry Netherlands...

"This year changed my life"

Tessa couldn´t speak any Czech when she came in the summer 2012. After 7 months there, she can even write it - as you can see on the video. On the program Tessa made lots of great friends among her Czech classmates and other exchange students. "This year changed my life", says Tessa. By the way - she changed herself so much! For the first time she went on downhill skiing and she started to play the piano.

Pictures on the video are from different events during Tessa´s exchange year:Seminar with YFU in the summer (Post arrival orientation), trips with friends, host family and YFU, ski camp with her class, Christmas...

All these experience is something that you can gain from exchange year with YFU. Contact your local YFU organization and apply for the program in the Czech Republic.
