I am Frances Nelligan, from Cummins in South Australia. I arrived in Finland in January 2002 and go to school at Hämeenlinnan lyseon lukio. My current host family lives in Iittala.

In Australia I live on a sheep and wheat farm near Cummins with my parents and two younger brothers. I have graduated from high school and when I return to Australia I will study Chemical Engineering ao Law at University in Adelaine.

I wanted to come to Finland because I knew taht it would be completely different to Australia. And I wanted to experience a "real" winter with snow.
