Our Youth Exchange student Eden Heckrodt arrived in Brasil in late August. Since then she has had many adventures. She has started school, met many new friends, helped her exchange sister prepare for an exchange to Turkey, tried lots of new foods, and spent a couple of weekends at a beach house in the jungle!
Eden enjoys her morning bike ride to school just as the sun is just coming up.
At her host family's beach cottage near a river in the jungle, Eden had the opportunity to encounter lots of wildlife: toucans, parrots, geckos, three different species of monkeys and even an alligator crossing the road!
