Well known in the world for its rich cultural life and many historic sites and buildings, Germany also has a high standard of living, a vibrant youth culture, and a wide range of activities for residents to do everyday. Germany has access to two seas (the North Sea and then Baltic Sea and stretches from flat farming country in the north to rolling hills in the center, to the Alps in the south. Sports are an important part of German life, especially soccer, and there are many sports clubs and youth groups. Your German host family will most likely live in a small town or in the countryside. Family life is important, but Germany offers you a chance to learn how to live independently, as young people are considered to be full members of the family who take care of their own affairs. Germany is also the right choice for you if you want to learn about ecological awareness: Germany is on top in such fields as renewable energies and recycling.
