CBYX participant Caroline D., hosted in Essen, had the opportunity to connect with her uncle's host family from when he was a CBYX participant. Reflecting on the experience, Caroline shared, "My uncle has kept in contact with his host family since his year abroad. They have visited my family a handful of times over the years, however I never had the opportunity to meet them. They invited me to join their family in Dusseldorf, where we visited a Christmas market and had dinner. I had an amazing time with them and I was able to see just how important and impactful a host family relationship can be."
