I’ve been in Germany for a week! How did the time go by so fast?
The first few days it was definitely a challenge to adapt to a different way of living and going about things. The experiences I have been granted in only this week, are more than I could ever imagine. Every moment, big and small, fill my heart with something I have never felt before. I couldn’t be more thankful.
My host family are the kindest of people and they opened their hearts to me, from the moment we met. They include me in everything and I dont feel like an outsider for one moment
The school is very different than what I’m used to. It’s very interesting to be in class. I’m getting used to the times and way they eat, and I love every second. It gets dark in the evening much later than in South Africa, so the days are definitely a bit longer…
I cant wait to see what the rest of my adventure holds
My stay in Germany
Germany is amazing. I love my host family. They are so friendly, they include me with everything and are just lovely. They make me feel at home and are very nice. I get along great with my host sister and we are having alot of fun playing bord games, going to school and just staying together.
Germany is alot different to South Africa, but I have really enjoyed learning about their culture and the way of life. I am really happy that I chose to do this program and is so grateful for this opportunity.
Herzlich willkommen in Deutschland
Before coming my heart skipped a beat every time I thought about it. Now that I'm here it really feels like living a dream! I am so grateful for this opportunity I have and for my host family. We get along so well. I'm not treated like an outsider, but like a true member of the family. Getting to experience life in Germany first hand has so far been one of the coolest things I've experienced in my life! So far the exchange was an amazing adventure and I can't wait for the rest of my adventure to unfold as I experience Germany for the rest of this amazing month!
A true Berliner!
It's the first week and I feel great! My host family is amazing and I've made lots of friends. The school system is very different, but overall it's an amazing school.
Germany, June/July 2023
My host family is really nice and we get along very well.
We have lots of fun together like playing games and going for walks with their dog.
The school is a little different from South African schools, but it is easy to get used to.
Really have a great time with the family
I really love my host family and I am so happy to be in they're family. They are very nice to me and I really enjoy spending time with them
My host family
My host family is absolutely wonderful and I have felt at home since day 1. They have taken me on many tours and shown me things that I have never seen before in my life such as going on the ferry.
I have never felt this safe before and I am really enjoying my stay in Germany, especially because my host family is so welcoming and lovely.
BEST HOST FAMILY
I feel so lucky to have landed with this family!They are very kind and so caring.I knew from the day I met them that this is going to be the best time ever. Germany has been great so far!!!
Host family experience so far
I absolutely love it so far! Everyone is so nice and goes out of their way to help me and explain to me things I don't understand.
At first it was a bit of an adjustment to get used to their ways, but after a while you get used to it.
Going to school with the bikes are one of the highlights of my stay so far. It is nice to have the freedom and to know that the house is only 5 minutes away.

Mit großer Wertschätzung und Dankbarkeit schreiben wir Ihnen. FSA bot Nika während ihrer 2 Monate in Deutschland eine erstklassige Erfahrung.
Sowohl der Anlauf mit all der Arbeit, die sie erledigen musste, als auch der Besuch bei ihrer Familie in Duisburg waren für sie unvergesslich. Die Auseinandersetzung und Bereicherung ist für uns als Eltern ein Schlüssel, um erwachsen zu werden und sich in die weite Welt zu wagen.
Ihnen und Ihrem Team gilt unser aufrichtiger Dank für die großartige Arbeit, die Sie leisten. Nika wird ihr Leben lang von diesem besonderen Erlebnis profitieren!
