So now that I am back in Saint Louis after a very nice vacation, I am already settling in with my new Host Family House – the Smith Family.

The Shinshinim live with different host families for a time period of about 3 months with each during the year that we are here in St. Louis.

Being really far away from home sometimes makes you look for a nice place to feel like home and to have your own space.

At my first host family house, with The Frischers, I had a really good time. I tried new foods, learned some new things about American culture and American football, we spent a lot of time together and I also had my own space.

I wanted to say to the Frischers thank you for having me and welcoming me into your family and your house.

Also, as I said, I moved to my second host family: the Smiths. I am having a lot of fun with them and wanted to thank them for having me and welcoming me as part of the family.

Looking forward to have new experiences together!!
