Hey guys,

Today I want to talk to you about soemthing that all exchangestudents will experience throughout their year abroad: culture shock and reverse culture shock. I will explain to you what culture shock and reverse culture shock are and what you can expect to feel during and after yours study abroad experience.
Lots of love,

Hi Laura, another informative video articulately explained through the eyes of someone with first hand knowledge. Although I have never lived in another country I too have experience with reverse culture shock. Most of my life have I worked for a major U.S. airline so I have had the great opportunity to spend time in many European countries and points beyond. Plus I’m the grandson of European immigrants, and last but not least for 18 years married to an American girl who grew up and educated in France. I was also-blessed to have been a host parent of a European exchange student. Needless to say I am very familiar with everything you say on this subject.
Thank your for sharing your personal experience. It will be a very helpful preparation for future exchange students. Although it can be awkward at times it is definitely one of the best ways of expanding one’s horizons. For me it was simple things like holding a knife and fork 😂. All the best and keep up the good work. 😀🇺🇸🇩🇪

Hi, could you please make a video on how to effectively stay in touch with your friends in your US and not lose contact over time?

European in the US: OMG they don't watch soccer. Jesus Christ, they don't even watch the World Cup. 😅😂 (This is my assumption. I don't really know. Besides this year the US and Canada are going to the World Cup, so I guess they'll watch it 😅.)
