In less than two weeks, I am going to be in Cape Town, South Africa in another culture and speaking English full time. It was so far away but now that I know which family I am going to stay with, everything seems so real. I hope I will be able to adapt rapidly and enjoy every little experience this trip can give me. I don\u2019t exactly know what I will do but I believe it is the magical thing about this kind of trip. I will go to my EF classes and then see what activities they have to offer. But for now, I know that I need to prepare my travel essentials because, to be honest, I haven\u2019t done anything yet. I am not stressed because I always prepare at the last minute. To conclude, I am excited and grateful to be able to have this experience, but I need to find some time to pack my luggage in the next few days if I want to have clothes in South Africa!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"645\" height=\"401\" src=\"https:\/\/bloguelangues.cecm.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/filters_formatwebp.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bloguelangues.cecm.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/filters_formatwebp.webp 645w, https:\/\/bloguelangues.cecm.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/filters_formatwebp-300x187.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 645px) 100vw, 645px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Table Mountain, Cape Town<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had a moment of realization this week.
