Chippewa Secondary School Student Hannah Bywater is back in North Bay this fall after a year in Switzerland.

She was part a rotary exchange program.

Bywater says it was the best year of her life.

“All of the people that I met, all of the opportunities that I had, all of my experiences they were beyond what I ever expected.” she says

On Monday, she spoke to members of the Rotary Club of North Bay about her trip which began last August and wrapped up in July.

Bywater says she had a chance to experience the culture of Switzerland and took in all kinds of activities from key local sports and attractions to skiing and even riding in a Maserati.

She says she’s a different person than before the trip.

” I’m just motivated to experience more of the world and do what I can to help out in every way possible. I’m really hoping I can make a difference in the world.” she says
