I wish I could tell those host families where to stuff their Important Life Experiences... because even becoming an exchange student in the first place (that's what you were referring to, right?) is a big experience. If I'm completely honest, it's one of the things I still kind of regret not doing.

Imho, what people call "life experience" can't be treated as a tick-all-the-right-boxes-by-certain-age type of thing, because there's no right way to build a life. Everyone does it from the ground up, everyone does it differently, and it's all right. (Or so I keep telling myself.)
