Free time is the right time for discoveries. Explore your host country and go on outings and other activities. You can practice your favorite sport, and find new interests and hobbies. In some countries there are lots of alternatives in connection to the school. In other countries you have to make your own arrangements. Your host family, contact person or new classmates will certainly be able to show you some good and exciting alternatives.
Join a football club, try out a new odd sport, sing in a band, play in a chess tournament, practice with a carnival group, chill out with friends in a café. The main thing is that you blend in, that you connect with people and use your leisure time well. And you will of course have a lot of assistance from your host family. They will bring you to friends, local events and take you on trips in the region.
We will also arrange STS travel options for you within the country. This might be round trips that is both fun and interesting. Like a trip to the exotic Hawaii if you are in the USA, a beautiful snowboard weekend if you are in Austria or a visit to Sydney if you are in Australia. We also arrange our extraordinary road trips. All exchange students in Europe can join our 21 day European Tour, including the sights, cities and wonders of 12 different countries! And if you are in the USA you can join the very popular Coast to Coast road trip that takes you all across the country with many interesting stops.
