I decided to go on Rotary Youth Exchange back in Oct 2012, and now, my exchange has ended with many tears shed. Youth Exchange to Australia became some of the best 11 months of my life, filled with many memories that I'll hold dear to my heart for the rest of my life. Thanks to Rotary, I now have two places to call home, Connecticut and New South Wales. I cannot give enough thanks to Rotary, my family, host families, and friends for a year that is too great to describe!

Birdland!
I just realized that I had completely forgotten to let you know about my experience at Birdland! The Friday before the Rebounders weekend, my host mom took me and my sister to Birdland, which is an animal park featuring all Australian animals! I had a very lengthy and detailed conversation with a cockatoo that consisted of "hello" "hi" and "joey!" haha I also got to feed an emu, some wallabies and kangaroos, as well as a greddy deer who tried to steal the whole bag! We were there during the koalas' feeding time so we got a little demonstration with that before getting to hold a baby wombat! The people at Birdland were caring for some baby wombats and brought one out for us to hold and see up close. It was the cutest thing ever and wombats are awesome!
