Hey everybody! This is going to be my blog over the course of this year. I'll be using it to update my friends and family about my travels and experiences while in Germany.
Many people continue asking me why I'm going on a "gap year" to Germany so, in short, this is why...I was selected as one of the 25 students to participate on Congress Bundestag Youth Vocational Exchange (CBYX.) This program is co-funded by our Congress and Germany's Bundestag (their Parliament) to celebrate and maintain a strong relationship between these two countries. For the first two months, I'll be in Bonn living with a host family and attending an intensive language learning school. Following that, I'll by in BERLIN attending a school for a few months and then moving onto an internship in the field of international relations/ business. This experience is going to a) help me become fluent in German b) gain experience working in a field of my interests and c) to make international friends and lifelong memories.
Although this experience will be filled with ups and downs, I'm beyond excited for what lies ahead and I will try my best to keep this blog updated!
Here's the link to the program:
