Foreign Exchange

Foreign Exchange

When a Swedish pop rock group inspires you to become a foreign exchange student, it makes for one amazing life experience. And yes, that really IS how host CH decided to spend a summer abroad. Join us this week as she reflects back on that transformative time, and shares her thoughts on navigating language barriers, pushing through discomfort, finding joy in the simple things, leading with kindness, and appreciating the lifelong influences that resulted from the journey. You may just want to book your own trip to Sweden after listening to this episode (but we might be sliiightly biased)!

Show Notes

  • The Swedish pop rock group that inspired CH to pick Sweden as her destination country was Roxette. Fun fact: she still remains a fan to this day.
  • Youth for Understanding was the student foreign exchange organization that CH joined. Visit their official site to learn more.
  • The west coast of Sweden was home to CH during her summer exchange.
    • She stayed near the town of Henån, located in Bohuslän on the island of Orust, but in the smaller land-tied island village known as Vindön.
    • Both are located about an hour north of Gothenburg (Göteborg), the second largest city in Sweden; or, two hours south of Oslo, Norway.
