Host Family

So I thought I would write a more detailed description about my town and host family.  I will live in Wolfhagen, Germany, a town situated not far from Kassel, and the birthplace of the famous folklore authors, the Brothers Grimm.  To give you a better idea, I used Google to calculate the distances, and Wolfhagen is 33.3 km west of Kassel, around 204 km north of Frankfurt, and about 449 km southwest of Berlin, the capital of Germany.  You can easily take a day trip to another city or even another country!

It seems like everything is in walking distance, which will be a significant change from having to drive everywhere in the U.S.  I will walk every morning to school, which is a few blocks away.  I was told that it is about a three-minute walk.

Meine Gastfamilie (my host family)

• Bernd, my host dad
• Christine, my host mom
• Jana, my host sister, 16
• Timon, my host brother, 11

From Skyping and messaging  my family, I think that they're the perfect fit for me.  I'm so excited to meet them this weekend!

Two days from now I will be departing from Washington, D.C., and heading off to Frankfurt!!!

Tschüs!
