It's two o'clock and I'm on the bus to Salto, on my way to my host family. The estimated travel time is about eight hours.
There I was, in Latin America, more specifically Brazil. From there, the way to Uruguay was not far and after about three hours, we arrived at the airport in Montevideo. There we met the volunteers from YFU Uruguay, as well as the Finnish exchange students, and then took the short bus ride to the Arrivalcamp.
At the Arrivalcamp, we first got to know each other and exchanged information about our host families and localities. During the four days, we also worked in workshops with the YFU volunteers and, for example, received information about the visa, the YFU rules, but also an introduction to typical Uruguayan (food) culture and way of life, so that we are somewhat prepared before we go to our host families.
And now I'm sitting here, just wanting to arrive and experience this adventure. Whatever happens, I'm ready!
