Zack is going to Switzerland

I have found out in at the end of January that i am going to Switzerland. Through Rotary I am able to be in an exchange program where I will be staying with three host families in their house in the country of Switzerland to taste new Swiss cuisines and be able to learn a new type of life in my new home of Switzerland.
I am planning to leave at the end of July, right before my birthday which is the 30Th, so i will be having my birthday in Europe. Even though i am going to be gone for a year, an entire school year in Switzerland, I will keep this blog open to keep everyone posted of what I'm doing over there, unattended.

I will find out in March to see if I am able to ride the plane with my new sister from France, "Agathe" and live with her for two weeks before i move in to my host family in Switzerland.
I am so excited to go.

Wish me luck.

    I am so excited for you son! I know you are going to learn a lot and represent our country and community well. You will now have the first stamp of many in your passport. I look forward to seeing your blogs, keeping us informed of what you are doing while you are in Europe. Remember to practice your languages in your blogs too!

    Hi Zack - I am so glad that you set this up. I was worried how I was going to keep up with you while you were gone. I know you will have a great time learning new things and having new experiences. I'm looking forward to hearing about all the people you meet and the new things that come your way.

    Way to go!

    Love ya
