Hei!
My name is Avery Howland, and I am about to set out on the biggest adventure of my life!
In early August of this year (2011) I am leaving my small town life in Vermont to spend a year in Hegra, Norway as an exchange student with AFS Intercultural Programs.
I can't wait to learn a new language, learn more about the Norwegian culture and experience it first hand, share my American culture with my vertsfamilie (my host family) and new friends and even get live with dogs for the first time in my life!
I expect many wonderful things to happen during my year, but I will also face many challenges too. The very first challenge I have is my tuition fees. Going on exchange is not cheep!
I know times are tough, but I would greatly appreciate any donations that you would be willing to make. Every dollar brings me closer to this life changing experience (and until the end of April, the next 3 days, every dollar donated is matched by AFS!).
Takk! Thank you!

These are pictures that I found of my host brother on facebook compared to pictures of myself (from facebook). It looks like we're going to get along pretty well :D
