"What is it like to have a stranger sleeping in your house? I am going to tell you something about it, because I had that opportunity in January this year. When I first saw my “guest“ I was really nervous, but as we were in the car on my way home we got to know each other. My guest was a girl from Iceland and I was really nervous if we will have something to talk about because she was older than me. We shared a room, so we spent more time together. First night, we didn't talk that much, because she was tired from the traveling. Second night, we talked a lot. We talked about our traditions, our way of “living“, our hobbies, our countries... We talked pretty long and it was really fun to talk to her. If I could have someone from different country at my house again, I wouldn't miss that opportunity."
"I had mixed feelings before the arrival of Emilía. I was looking forward but I was also afraid. When I saw her I noticed that she was wearing only a jumper. It was January 27 and the temperature could be around -3°C. She told me it was a warm weather for her. Upon arrival, I found out that we have a lot in common. I learned a lot about Iceland and their traditions. After these two days I improved my English. I'm grateful that she could visit me. Her visit gave me a lot of experiences."
