Alex Pedersen trades Copenhagen for Winter Park, where his co-workers go waterskiing at lunch.

The heat and humidity of Florida may be extreme for some, but for Alex Pedersen of Copenhagen, it's been anything but daunting. "This doesn't even come close to the weather in Denmark, and I absolutely love it!" Pedersen says.

The exhilaration of starting from scratch all over again with a new job, a new apartment and new surroundings is what enticed Pia Beltoft Nielsen to the GROW program. Signing up for the work exchange program is one thing, but deciding to speak only German and taking language courses is quite another, which is exactly what Nielsen has done since she arrived in Munich almost two months ago.

Danish GROW participant Rikke David gets three extra months of summer at Bonnier Corporation in Florida.

Getting used to using inches instead of centimeters is no easy task, says Rikke David, who is working for three months at Bonnier Corporation in Winter Park, Florida. "It is surprisingly different from our metric system," she says. "I think I'll buy a couple of rulers, bring them back home, and leave them laying on my colleagues desks, just for fun - they really won't be able to use them for anything."
