Description: Get ready to embark on a journey of discovery. A Youth For Understanding USA (YFU) study abroad program is an experience that will immerse you in the lives, cultures, and communities of a real family in one of more than 40 countries around the globe. An adventure where you'll learn---in a year, semester or a summer---what life is like for teens in another part of the world. An experience that will change you and your view of our planet.

A YFU exchange program is the learning adventure of a lifetime. YFU is a homestay experience where you live with a carefully selected host family who has agreed to open their home and their hearts to you---providing room, board, and a caring home. You'll gain a global family, make new friends, and even attend a new school on academic programs. Have a journey you could have never imagined at home, and you'll discover that the YFU experience is a powerful engine for personal growth.

You will experience many moments of what the Danes call hygge, a special word meaning an all-embracing feeling of warmth and comfort. Like its Scandinavian neighbors, Denmark has historically been considered one of the most socially progressive cultures in the world. The birthplace of Legos, this country is also known for its extensive public bike and hiking trails.
