Isabela Ferreira is a student from Brazil.
When people ask me why I chose Vancouver I don’t know what to say because I didn’t have any special reason. I only knew I didn’t want to go to the USA.
I always liked Canada so I decided that Vancouver could be my new home because is a safe city and I like the crazy weather, especially the cloudy days!
My school has an original way to help the students learn English. The teachers are the best!!! They all have a special way to teach… It is just excellent!
But the best thing about this trip is meeting new people from different nationalities. I have friends from Mexico, Japan, Korea, France, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland and of course from Brazil! It is just perfect to meet new people every week and learn about their different cultures
If I could give advice for students that are planning to come to Canada, I would say: “Come to Vancouver to enjoy the beautiful mountains, the amazing parks and to have fun in the pubs with your friends!”
And what do I think about my homestay? Well, I arrived here 3 months ago and since then I have lived with my host mother, Yasmin, in North Vancouver. She is perfect, a really good friend and a lovely person! We have spent nice moments together and we have shared our secrets and our experiences. I’m very happy to have the opportunity to spend an incredible time with her. She is my Canadian mother and I really love her!
