My host parents

I've gotten pretty lucky when it comes to having great host parents. I have loved all of them. Admittedly, my second family was less amazing than it could have been. But my first and third families have definitely made up for it.

I spent the first four whole months of my exchange talking about how amazing my first host family was, so now it's time to talk about my third family.

My host dad is Jens, my host mom is Miriam, and my host brothers are Michael and Ole. Ole is on exchange in Brazil right now, and is coming home a few weeks before I leave.
They are all so extremely nice. My host dad is the one who helped organize this whole internship thing for me, and my host mom is just the sweetest human being. Whenever I want to go anywhere or do anything, they always offer to drive me to the train station, or to the next town if they are headed that way.
They gave me an easter present too. But, they made me put it in my suitcase and promise not to open it until Easter, because it was during Eurotour. I got my favorite gummies and yummy perfume.
For the internship, my host dad pretty much arranged everything for me, and gave me 300 euros to buy food and stuff.
I don't talk to Michael very much. I'm not even sure if I spelt his name correctly. But whenever we do talk, he's really nice.
Ole is in Brazil right now, but we talk on Facebook often, and we've talked over skype once.
I'm just really happy that me last host family is a good one. But it's just going to make it that much harder when I have to leave.

More soon.
