I have always dreamed about leaving this place, to go out in the world, to meet new people, to travel a lot, and most importantly- to change.

To change myself, my way of thinking, my view on other people and the world. Living as a foreigner from Europe in the United States of America is hard. Meeting new friends and distancing yourself from your old ones is even harder. 

And falling in love? Don't get me started. Hi I'm Lea and I am a exchange student.

Everything I write here is from MY personal experience. That means not everyone has to relate to this. HOWEVER 

if you're currently a exchange student or a former exchange student, you might CAN relate to some of the things that happened to me. If you do, feel free to write me and tell me about your experiences.(CC) Attrib. NonComm. NoDerivs
