The year I spent with the Rouse&#x27;s was by far the best year of my life. I experienced a lot of things that wouldn&#x27;t even be possible to do here in Finland. I got a family on the other side of the world. They made my year special and I wouldn&#x27;t want to change anything. The life there was just basically from a dream. But then the morning comes and you have to wake up and all you have is just a memory of it. New Zealand will stay forever as &quot;my happy place&quot;.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Aino, Finland<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<h2>&quot;I felt loved and I really miss them&quot;<\/h2>\n<p>My exchange was an experience full of different emotions, and I&#x27;m so grateful to have been with Ella, Jason and Antony.
