My name is Elena. I am 18 years old, and I live in an area in the north of Dublin called Mount Garrett

The 12th week has past, and more than half of our stay is already over. I feel very comfortable in my host family. I have a younger host sister, a younger host brother and an older host sister. Having dinner with them is always fun. My host mum cooks a delicious meal every evening. I also feel comfortable in my host company, and I always have something to do. Nevertheless, the working behaviour is different to Switzerland. Generally, the atmosphere is a bit more relaxed.

Last weekend the weather was sunny. Therefore, we went to Bray Head with some friends from Chile, who we met during our first weeks at school. The Bray Heads are amazing cliffs, and it is possible to see the Wicklow Mountains. The landscape on the way down to Bry Head, was quite similar to Switzerland. We briefly felt at home. We enjoyed the trip.
