The last time Caroline Beirne, junior, went to Germany was for a month and a half over the summer. Beirne was a part of a foreign exchange student program. While there, she revisited her close friend and host-sister.

Not only did Beirne attend a typical German school, but also traveled all over Germany and Europe with her host family.

“We went everywhere,” Beirne said. “We went to Denmark, Berlin, Hamburg and Sonderborg, which is in Denmark.”

Beirne got to learn what everyday life was like for her host-sister, just like she got to learn what American-life was like when the sister was in the states. Bierne tried all new things, got to meet all new people and learned how German culture was different from what she was used to here in America. Beirne would recommend that everyone should experience Germany at some point in their lifetime due to her life-changing visit.

“It was an experience that I will never forget for the rest of my life. I would go back there in heartbeat,” Bierne said.
