Fabulous Families

I recently was contacted by the host families that I will be staying with while I am in Switzerland and I must say that I am simply ecstatic about the prospect of staying with each of them. 

My first host family is the Schmid family.  There are four members: my host parents, Stefan and Pia,   and my host brother Reto and host sister, Linda. They live in the middle of Stans, practically on Main Street. I will be living with them for the first three months of my exchange. 


My second host family is the Schmidli family. They also have four family members however, my host sister, Bianca, will be going on an exchange to Ecuador while I am staying with them. I will be living with my younger brother Nico and my two host parents Urs and Brigit. They also have a horse Rishan and a dog Nela. I will be living with them from December to March.



My third host family is the Sigg family. Their family consists of my host parents Ralph and Karin, as well as my host brothers Pascal and Louis. I will be living with them for the remainder of my exchange. My host father Ralph is also my YEO (youth exchange officer). He is my main contact within my host club.
