FLORENCE— An inside look at the journey of adjustment for an individual who has traveled halfway across the globe to begin a year in the life as a foreign exchange student in Florence, Montana. The Florence Chronicle sat down with the foreign exchange student, Cheyenne Bauge, who has left her home in Saumur, France for the experience of a lifetime here in the United States. Cheyenne gave us insight on what she has encountered so far, and what she hopes to find during her time here.
What is one part of American culture that you are excited to experience?
France doesn’t always celebrate the same holidays as the United States. I’m excited to experience certain holidays, such as Halloween and Thanksgiving, for the first time.
What are some things you would like to do while here in the United States? …show more content…
Aside from that, I would love to visit Yellowstone National Park and view all the beautiful landscape Montana has to offer.
What is one part of French culture that you would like to share with Americans?
Definitely traditional French recipes. I have already baked a few desserts that my host family loved.
What is one difference between education in France and education in America?

Instead of driving places during lunch, we usually just walk to restaurants. From trying her first Thanksgiving turkey, to witnessing the awe-inspiring scene that Montana withholds, we here at the Florence Chronicle think it’s safe to say that Cheyenne Bauge is in for an unforgettable
