I had a really good trip.
Both my host families did a great job, and made me feel a part of the family. So nothing to say there. 
The camp were also really good, we got to see some great things. The whole Lion staff was great. 
I do not have so much to say, everything was great. 
Have a good evening.
 
Sincerely 
Malene 

Thank you for your leadership with this camp and for all the great activities that were planned during this exchange.
Esther loved her time in Italy and can’t wait to return again someday.
I am confident that this intercultural experience has changed her in more ways than she knows and opened her heart and mind to what it means to be a Lion all over the world.

Thanks again,

Tiffany George

July 13th started the best days of my life ❤
I arrived in Lions Campo Emilia and the adventure began. 
First day was only arriving and meeting campers and stuff. 
I wouldn't have ever guessed that those 19 other campers from 15 different countries and our camp stuff would become so close to me only in 10 days. 

And finally the time to say "see you" has come! 
It is amazing how different people with different cultures can get along so well in such a short time! 
I won't forget any moment I spent with you, guys. 

Saying "goodbye" is never easy. Especially, when you know you won't be able to see someone extremely important to you for a long time. 
I just wanted to say that I'm so thankful to you guys. I felt like it was a trip around the world, even though I stayed in the same place. I learned new words like "batti cinque" or "yläfemma" and now I know how to pronounce "cabbage" properly. I learned that although we come from different countries, we're all pretty similar. 

Thanks, thanks everybody,
I've just finished a fantastic experience as a staff member of Lions Lake Camp! I came here as a Leo who wanted to improve his English and to have fun but in the end I'm a better person, a growing-up person with 15 new friends around the world! During the Camp I met a lot of people: my 3 roommates with whom I share "the man time" every night, before going to sleep - with Marcelo I loved singing Italian songs, my Danish friend Kean and I always play in swimming pool, my German friend and I got emotional together. 
I also met my fantastic American friends: 3 girls completely different but fantastic and very funny as well! I met a marmede form the Lone Star State, a fantastic singer from Missouri and a very funny girl form Wisconsin. I met my great friend Doora that helped me in every moment and she was my special advisor,

Questo camp non mi ha dato solo emozioni, ma anche esperienza.
Ho avuto la possibilità di scoprire una parte di mondo a me totalmente sconosciuta.
Avendo la possibilità di provare così tanti tipi di attività, e non soltanto le più famose mete o le attrazioni studiate apposta per i turisti, sono riuscito a sviluppare la mia personale opinione riguardo al posto e ai suoi abitanti, senza essere una sorta di consumatore passivo.

Lo scorso dicembre ho partecipato ad un viaggio di scambio giovanile in Giappone.
Durante il mio soggiorno di tre settimane sono stata ospitata da quattro famiglie. La famiglia Ootake gestisce un hotel/spa, ho trascorso tre notti in una delle loro stanze ed è stata una bellissima esperienza. La camera era in tipico stile giapponese con un futon e pareti in carta di riso.

Mi chiamo Dario Pettico e sono un Leo. Nel mese di gennaio ho partecipato allo scambio e al campo giovanile Lions in India, precisamente ad Assam, stato localizzato al nord est del subcontinente indiano. È stato il primo campo Lions a cui ho preso parte, nonché la prima visita in India.
Ammetto con tutta onesta di essere partito dal mio paese di origine con una scarsa conoscenza della cultura del paese che mi avrebbe ospitato, ma con tanta voglia di imparare cose nuove da una cultura così differente. Posso dire oggi che le mie aspettative si sono concretizzate.
Nella mia esperienza ho avuto il piacere di approcciarmi ad una realtà che mi è parsa come un mosaico di diverse culture e religioni. Assam ha davvero molto da offrire. Basti pensare alle esperienze che concretamente ho vissuto, come i pellegrinaggi, i safari, le crociere sul possente Brahmaputra, le visite ai vasti giardini del tè e alla più antica raffineria dell'Asia. È sinonimo di suggestiva bellezza naturale, abbondante fauna selvatica, immacolati giardini del tè, incredibili crociere fluviali, monasteri venerati, bella gente.

Era importante che io capissi quel concetto, lo vedevo dalla loro insistenza nel tentare di spiegarmelo. Azzardavano una parola in inglese, immediatamente seguita da altre per me incomprensibili in giapponese, poi una pausa, un sospiro di frustrazione. Odiavano non riuscire ad esprimersi ed a comunicare con me. “Omotenashi”, mi ripeteva per l’ennesima volta, indicando prima lui, poi sua moglie, poi le mura della casa in cui eravamo e infine me. “Omotenashi”.

La traduzione che mi suggeriva il mio cellulare era ospitalità. “Hospitality?”, chiedevo loro. “No, no hospitality. Omotenashi”, ripetevano di nuovo scandendo ancora meglio le sillabe.

Finalmente capii che mi trovavo di fronte ad un’altra parola intraducibile. Una parola che racchiude radici culturali talmente profonde che non può essere compresa da un traduttore automatico. E nemmeno da qualcuno che non sia mai stato accolto in una casa giapponese. Sorrisi, ripensando ai tentativi di pochi mesi prima delle persone che avevo conosciuto in Brasile di farmi capire il profondo significato della parola “saudade”, anch’essa intraducibile in italiano. Mi aveva affascinato come una semplice parola poteva contenere le emozioni che vivere il Brasile provoca.
E ora, di nuovo, era sufficiente una parola.

Hello! My name is Kaitlin Coughran and I live in Australia from a city called Lismore.
I took place in the International Lions Youth Exchange Programme for six weeks adventuring to Europe in 2016 from December to mid-January.
The places I visited were Italy, Germany and London, both amazing places with lots of history.
I found out about the Youth Exchange through a family friend and couldn’t pass this amazing opportunity, so I applied.

I really loved my time in Italy! I had two families, the Ricotti family in Campagnano and the Zanti family in Carpi.
It was amazing that my hosts were so generous with their time and love, making me feel right at home.Both took me to many places that were a fair drive away so that I was able to see more of your country, which I really appreciated. All the food I ate (and there was a lot!) it was all delicious and I tried such a range of Italian food.
They were also more than happy to share their language and culture with me, and to introduce my to family and friends which just made my stay even better.
It was great with the Ricotti family to be shown around other places by some of the Lions club members, and to also attend one of their club meetings (even though it was just a casual one!). It was very thoughtful of them to organise the Leo’s outing for us so we could talk to some younger people, that was a really fun night and it was lovely to make that connection.

My stay in Italy began in Milan, where I was hosted by a lovely family In Saronno for about 10 days.
We got along perfectly from the very beginning and they had already planned many sightseeing trips and tours for me.
Together with the mother, sister and brother, we went to food clubs and restaurants where we tried some traditional Italian foods, and we visited famous landmarks such as the Duomo of Milan, and ‘la galleria di Vittorio Emanuele II ‘.

Hello! 
My stay in Italy was amazing and I have nothing to complain about.
I was completely welcomed into the family and felt very comfortable. T
he winter camp was very enjoyable and we were all so lucky to be shown such amazing things!  
Thankyou for everything,

Hello,
My stay in Italy was amazing. My host family was lovely, very funny, warm and inviting. I felt just like part of the family especially during the Christmas period. Day trips to Naples and Bari were great to see the famous cities from a locals perspective.
The camp was in a perfect location and was a great time to meet other international friends. The activities were fine - possibly too many archeological sites and museums. There could be more engaging experiences for young people such as more travelling to other towns or events other than to see cathedrals or museums - which were interesting yet overdone in my opinion. The places where we ate were spectacular. All the camp organisers were great leaders and very nice people.

Thankyou for this incredible experience, it was amazing


Mi chiamo Ilenia Musto e ho trascorso 3 settimane nella Prefettura di Nara, in Giappone.
E’ stata un’esperienza fantastica, che ricorderò per sempre!
Sono partita il 14 Dicembre dall’aeroporto di Bari Palese e sono arrivata il giorno 15 all’aeroporto di Osaka e subito ad aspettarmi c’erano due membri del Lions Club di Nara e la mia Host Mom.
La mia prima famiglia è stata molto gentile e disponibile e anche se non parlavano molto bene l’inglese mi sono sentita subito a mio agio. Mi hanno fatto visitare tantissimi luoghi tra cui il parco di Nara con tantissimi cervi, il Todaiji, Osaka e gli Universal Studios e ho indossato per la prima volta il Kimono, un’esperienza unica!

Per quanto mi dolga ammetterlo, il giorno in cui mi hanno proposto l’esperienza degli Scambi giovanili in Malesia, non ne sono rimasto molto entusiasta.
Sebbene conscio del fatto che tale offerta sarebbe stata da considerare come un grande privilegio, il fatto che la Malesia non figurasse fra le destinazioni da me prescelte, aveva reso incerte le mie aspettative.
