The Summer of a Lifetime

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
During one of my camps in Italy I stayed with a family who was heavily involved with the community. They had 3 kids (one who loved using my phone to take funny Snapchat selfies), almost every evening we did something different, and on the weekend we went to a waterpark over the mountain! The most memorable night I had with my host family was when they decided to take me to a pasta making night. This was not leisure either, it was 80 year old women making pasta so fast! The only time they would take a break is when they were waiting on the men to being them more to fold, and when they brought out more beer! When I first started I looked at the pasta and the filling like I had never seen something like it before, but after a few lessons I finally learned to connect the right corners and put the right amount of filling in so it would cook the right way. Within the first 30 minutes I had learned to make the pasta almost as fast as the beer drinking grandmothers. The whole community was gathered together to make hundreds of servings of pasta for an upcoming event and being a part of that was incredible!
My last camp I worked at was in Austria, it was so beautiful there! I stayed with a family who had 4 kids and lived on a farm, so cows and goats everywhere, I loved it! Both of my host parents worked (my mom was a veterinarian), so for the weekend another tutor's host family took 3 of us (tutors) on an amazing adventure! We ended up hiking up into an ice cave, it was chilly outside due to the elevation, but once inside the cave, we were freezing! I was actually planning on wearing shorts and sandals, but my host mom advised against so I bundled up. After hiking back down the mountain, hopping in the cars, and heading back to our town, one of the host families mentioned they knew a dairy farmer. Jumping at the opportunity, I asked if there was any way that I could milk a cow! They didn't think it was possible but after talking with the farmer when we got home, he happily allowed us 3 tutors in his SUV. Driving on an unmarked path, up a mountain with a loaded car is an experience all by itself, but once we got to the top, the ride was forgotten and the view became stunning! One of the host brothers showed us how to call the cows off the higher part of the pasture and how to corral into the milking area. Once inside the building, I happily said I would go first! After cleaning off their utters, I milked the cow, and attached the milking machine! Once the milk had been through a cleaning process and was chilled, we tasted it! It was the best milk I had ever tasted!
If you have any doubts whether you should apply, DO NOT HESITATE! Say yes to every opportunity! I would have never thought I would be making pasta with 80 year old beer drinking grandmothers or be milking a cow half way up a mountain, but it all happened, and I would not change a thing!

What was your funniest moment?
In one of the first mornings at my last host family's house, I woke up by a very abrupt knocking on the door. At first, I thought I was imagining it because no one in the house was reacting to it, but then I saw that the tutor who was staying with me also woke up, wondering what was happening. The more time went, the louder the knocking got. Then the phone rang multiple times, then the intercom also rung multiple times. It was a cacophony of the phone ringing, door knocking, and the intercom. This went on for a good 30 minutes (take into account it was 6 am) because neither I nor the other tutor knew what to do because no one else had woken up in the house. Eventually, she pushed me to answer the intercom, seen as I speak Italian. We both approached the door very slowly until I reached the intercom and asked who it was, only to find out it was our host dad! He had forgotten his suitcase and keys at home and he was in a rush to drive to Milan since he had a meeting to get to. That's why he was so violent about the knocking and ringing. He also tried calling our host mom but to no avail. We laughed about this incident for so long the whole 2 weeks we were with them. To this day, no one understands how our host mom and our host sister did not wake up through that half-hour of loud noise, and I and the other tutor still laugh about how absurd the whole situation was.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Say yes to every opportunity...I can’t stress how important and not a cliche this is, you won’t believe the places it will take you! Also, when things get tiring or you get homesick, talk with the other tutors because the chances are, they’re going through exactly the same and they are 100% your biggest support system there. Finally, put away your phone and enjoy the summer. It won’t kill you to not constantly be on your phone for a month or two! Just live in the moment and appreciate the chance you have...go and talk with your host family or just take in the breathtaking sights with your eyes, not always a camera! The memories you make here will be so valuable and stay with you forever

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Show up to camp every day with a smile and give your all. Don't take yourself too seriously, be crazy, and most importantly, be yourself! The more silly that you are, the more that the kids will love you and think that you're the coolest human on the planet. Have a go-with-the-flow attitude. Always say YES to trying new things and be eager to gain new knowledge about the world. Show gratitude for the little things and persevere through any challenges you may encounter along the journey. :)
