The Erasmus+ student was initially afraid to participate in the exchange project without their parents but was encouraged after learning friends had participated. They received a lot of information from professors about participation and activities. The host family welcomed them like a second daughter and the relationship with their partner was like that of two sisters. Favorite activities included visiting places in Funchal like the capital city and natural pools, and taking a catamaran trip with friends. The accompanying teachers provided very good and competent support.
