Julia from Brasil

Picking Abbotsford as the destination for my exchange was one of the best choices I could have made. The city is not big, but it has everything we need, and I loved the perfect mix of nature and urban life of this region. I am really happy to have chosen the right program. I felt secure and supported if needed any help. Besides, I was part of the outdoor education program at WJ Mouat secondary school which provided me with experiences that I will never forget, such as camping, hiking, skiing and river rafting. Also, I am glad I did not have problems with my host family, and I am very grateful for all the moments we spent together. They made these five months better than I dreamed of. Being an exchange student was an incredible experience. I discovered not only a lot about Canada, but also a lot about myself. All these memories and people I met made this time one of the best of my life.
