AFS

AFS: American Field Service. AFS is one of the world’s largest community-based volunteer organizations dedicated to building a more just and peaceful world through international student exchange.


I'm going to try and explain my exchange year in Switzerland and how I perceive my experiences.


First off,


AFS: Another Fat Student. :) All of the exchange students have gained quite a bit of weight. I blame it on all of the amazing chocolate here. I also blame it on my drive to taste and eat every single new food that I encounter. I'm only going to be here once in my life, so why not?
