"It is bittersweet, going home." Luis said.
"I am looking forward to seeing my family, my sisters and my friends, but I feel like I am leaving my family behind, here in Australia also."
Luis said he has loved his time in Australia and plans to come back as soon as he can, hopefully bringing his family with him.

"My parents would like to come to Harden Murrumburrah to see the places I have stayed and to get to know the people I have built connections with." Luis said.
"That is what I will miss the most, I think. The connections to people I have gotten to know here. I stayed with three families in the last year which is great, because I got to travel around with them and see lots of Australia and lots of different family patterns."
"Each time you move families, you miss the previous one.I especially missed Rita's (O'Connor) cooking, that was pretty amazing." Luis joked.
When Luis returns home, he still has three more years of school to complete.
"In Denmark, we have up to Year 13, one extra year than here in Australia. I plan to choose a Social Science combined with English line, to work toward International Business or Politics. That's the plan for now, anyway." Luis said
"I think what I will miss the most about Harden Murrumburrah is the people and the sense of community that you immediately feel when you come here. It is a sense of belonging."
