Rebekka  from Denmark attends Mountain View High School
FAVOURITE FOOD IN ARIZONA
The food I like the best in Arizona so far, is probably Mexican food. My host family owns ‘Backyard Taco’, and it’s really good. I’m from Denmark, and I’ve never tried real Mexican food before, but it’s my favourite!!
SURPRISING ABOUT ARIZONA
Definitely the heat!! In Denmark we have a very chilly weather compared to Mesa, where I live. I don’t think I will ever get use to the heat, but it really helps to have a pool. I like the heat, but sometimes it gets a bit too hot. I still remember the day I got out of the airport and felt the weather in Phoenix for the first time!
ENJOYING AT THE MOMENT
Right now, I’m really enjoying all the trips and adventures I’m experiencing. I went to Lake Powell, Utah and Sedona the last few weeks. It was the best; and something I will never forget! And also, I really love my host family. We are having such a great time together. I love when we take their boat out on the sea, and we go surfing. They teached me how to surf on our trip to Lake Powell, and ever since it has been my favourite and I can’t stop smiling when I finally get up on the board! 
LOOKING FORWARD TO
I’m looking so much forward for my trip to Costa Rica in a couple of weeks. I’m going with my host family and some new friends.

Arizona is such a beautiful states with awesome landscapes with friendly people. 
SURPRISING ABOUT ARIZONA
The most surprising fact about here is that Americans are always trying to go the fastest as they can (to eat, study, drive, school) and sometimes they don't take the time.
ENJOYING AT THE MOMENT
I enjoyed many things since I am here but Sedona was such an incredible weekend and also my first football game was very fun. This year, and I think I am doing good to achieve that but I want to be fluent in English, I want to have a full understanding of the American and particularly the Arizonian culture. 
LOOKING FORWARD TO
I also want to make many friends from America but also from all over the world. I’m really excited! And of course I’m looking forward to Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years’ Eve - I can’t wait!
