San Francisco, California - 2018
My trip to America started in summer 2018. Before I flew to America me and my family spoke to the family I'll be spending the next month with through the Skype. They were so great and and we "clicked" from the start.
On July 19 I packed my bags and headed for America. The flight was long but comfortable and safe. I landed at San Francisco airport where my host family had already been waiting for me so we drove together to their home in Lafayette, which was nearby San Francisco. With the host family I had everything I needed; personal space, free time, many indoor and outdoor activities, and most importantly many soccer practices. I trained 3 times a week and it was really fun! I went to a camp at Santa Clara University and although it was challenging, it was also very interesting and fun! Through soccer practices not only did I learn something new, I made a lot of new friendships with girls and boys of my age!
My host family realy did their best to teach me all about America and took me on the new places every weekend. I think this trip was an unforgettable experience and I highly reccomend this program to everyone who has a wish to travel somewhere new and make new friendships and new experiences!

My journey originaly started in 2017, but I had an accident and couldn't go that year. But my
beautiful host family asked me if I want to come next year, and I immediately said yes. I was
afraid about the flight, because that was my first time flying. But the flight was a "piece of cake". I
was fliying from Zagreb to San Francisco. After 20ish hours, I arrived and saw my host family for
the first time. That is the most beautiful family that I have ever seen. They immediately where
like my mom, dad, brother and sister. My host mom Sonia immediately asked me if I was hungry
haha.
After the arrival I had 28 days of enyoment. I met a lot of great people, seen beautiful places, met awesome people and made friendships that will last forever. Their soccer team and coach were awesome, they wanted me to stay with them.
The day that I was leaving felt like going from home. I got so used to it that I didn't want to go
home. America felt like my real home on those days. I wish that everybody can have this experience that I had, because it changed my views and I look the world with different eyes now!
