Merry Christmas to all of my amazing friends and family all over the world. Although it's a beautiful time of year, it is one of the toughest times for exchange students. Experiencing Christmas in a different culture is exciting, but there really is no place like home for the holidays. My host family is missing their wonderful daughter who is living in Canada, I'm missing my family in the states, the beautiful Croatian girl living in my room back home is missing her family, and the student living in Croatia with her family is missing his own... It's a never ending chain. We are all connected and we are all in it together.
I just want to send a huge virtual hug to all of the other exchange students in the world who are missing their families right now. Don't forget to enjoy your time with your host family, because odds are, they're missing their son or daughter who is abroad too. We may not be with our biological families, but we're with the new ones we have created this year. This Christmas will be one that we will never ever forget.
Happy holidays from Lima, Peru :)
