Lou’s adventure started in August of 2019, when she left France and headed for the United States. She was nervous at first, but knew this was an amazing opportunity that she would never forget. Her destination was a small town in Illinois called Bunker Hill. She was welcomed there by the Phelps family and the rest was history. You can watch Lou’s adventure below and get her perspective on what it is like being an exchange student in America. She became immersed in the American way of life by trying new foods, learning about new holidays and so much more.
