The Place and the People

You will arrive at a new place where the ways of the people may be quite different from where you are coming from. The climate may be more varied and the holidays may not be the same as the ones that you are used to at home.

This is all part of what makes an international exchange so interesting and educational, but it can also take a little time and effort to get used to. On the following pages we will attempt to help you make sense of your new environment and the people that inhabit it.

Jonathan Correa, Canary Islands:

"I like the way the city changes with the seasons; how the leaves fall in the autumn, the snow in the winter, the flowers in the spring. I will miss this place."
