Taipei I'm Here!

I arrived in Taipei, Taiwan last night, after a very long and emotional day of traveling! I was greeted by my host mother Angel, who I call Home Ma, my host father who I call Home Ba, my host grandmother, my counselor's daughter, my next host family's dad, the president of Rotary, and Adrian. They had a big red sign that said my full name on it! Hugs, smiles, their broken English, and my broken Chinese, was a great kick off to my exchange year in Taiwan! Thank you to my host families, and members of Rotary Club of Taipei Tung Ho, for making my welcome a very memorable one!

I am very excited and grateful for the many exciting experiences and adventures I will be involved in the next year of my life especially because I am able to share them with all of you back home! Thank you Mom, Dad, and Zach for loving me and supporting me throughout my life and this journey. By far the hardest goodbye I have ever had to say, but surely the first step into an exciting year! I will miss you all so much! Love you!
