Hey, I am Camy and in 2019 I left Italy and studied for ten months in Missouri, a state in the Midwest of America.  After three years from my departure, I still consider this as the best experience I have ever made. Every time I talk about my exchange year, my eyes shine this is why I decided to gather all my memories in a blog but first of all to help the future exchange students and their parents who probably have many questions and many fears.

I am Italian but I decided to talk in English for two reasons: 1) sometimes I am better at expressing myself in this language, 2) students need to be used to listening music, watching tv series and reading in English if they want to learn it. On that note, I truly hope you will enjoy my stories, hopefully they can be helpful. 

Bye :)
