The word Oklahoma comes from two Choctaw words, “okla” meaning people and “homma” meaning red. So Oklahoma is the land of the Red People, the Native Americans who, together with other peoples, contributed to build the great American Nation.

Don’t dream it, do it!
Our sixteen years old son, Stefano, decided to spend a whole year abroad as an exchange student. He will be generously hosted by an American family in Oklahoma, and we, his natural family, wish to share this wonderful adventure with him and his host family in the USA; therefore all posts in the Oklahoma! category will also be written in English (at least we’ll try to).
First of all, we wish to thank the host family for the great opportunity they are offering us, and we hope they will enjoy this year with Stefano.
We have just learnt the flight details: Milan – Munich – Boston – Memphis – Oklahoma City; the adventure is about to begin. Good luck Stefano!
