I have begun the process of getting ready to leave for Denmark in only 8 days! I'm super excited but as you can imagine I have quite a bit of nerves as well. I will leave on August 3rd from Portland at 1:25 PM, from there I will have a non stop flight to Amsterdam and then I will arrive at the Billund airport in Denmark.
I have been making sure to visit and see anyone that is close to me as I won't be able to see them for a whole year. Right now I'm at my grandparent's home in Port Townsend Washington. Today we had a woderful family hike in the Hoh rainforest apart of the Olympic National Park.
It has been such a joy getting to email back and forth with my host family and my Rotary Counselor in Denmark. It makes me more and more excited every time I hear back from them. The town I will be staying in is Hammel Denmark. It is on the Jutland Peninsula and it is only 30 Minuets from the second largest city Aarhus. I truly am grateful to be able to have this experience!
