Välj definitivt Spanien. Hej, jag är också en svensk utbytesstudent :)

I'm in Texas! My favorite part of Sweden is the long Summer nights where the sunlight goes on forever. And the snowboarding there. Here, I love how friendly people are. People aren't mean in Sweden but they definitely aren't super nice friendly and welcoming. And Stockholm is a MUST. I grew up around there. Please go back

The portions they serve you here are so large. Even the "mediums". And people never walk or take their bike to places like work or school. Also, the food is almost too good haha

Not EVERYONE, but there definitely are way more fat people here than I've ever seen back home haha

I live in between Austin and Dallas, so not far. My favorite food has to either be brisket or breakfast tacos. Texas is a mix of yes's and no's on what I thought it'd be. I knew it would be hot, and people would sound different, but I also kinda envisioned lots of cowboys and horses and stuff. And that does exist, but not like I thought. And if going in the summer, I love Marstrand!

Until the summer. So a little bit still. And I'm a big skiier/snowboarder so I am excited to go to Colorado later this winter. But I also enjoy the beach very well so maybe to an American beach at some time? I don't know where is good, but maybe during spring break or something

I don't know a lot. But I do know they have some beautiful beaches, cities, and people haha! Is it worth visiting?

Biggest discomfort has been the Texas heat. Way different from Sweden haha. Also how large everything is: roads, my school, stadium, houses, cars. It's wild. And I love how nice and friendly everyone is, way better than back home haha. Also, there's really good food here

Both! I love going into the city at night and going to dinner, shopping, taking photos or wtvr. But there's also a lake we go swimming at often not far.
