Croatia is famous for its Dalmatian coast and breathtaking islands. And even though the country is one of the newer members of the European Union, its beauty can bring anyone to their knees. As Wikipedia states, "tourism is a significant source of revenue, with Croatia ranked among the 20 most popular tourist destination".
England will always have a special place in my heart ever since I've studied in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. I've seen my share of English cities when going on day trips to catch a break in between my studies. My favourite places include Bakewell, Bath, Bournemouth, and of course, London.
It was my dream to visit Greece for a few years before it was the right moment for me to go. And finally, this time came in 2021 when I went to Corfu for my annual leave. It was above amazing.
My trip to Japan changed my attitude towards food, towards culture, and society. According to Wikipedia, "Japan has one of the world's highest life expectancies, though it is experiencing a decline in population. The culture of Japan is well known around the world, including its art, cuisine, music, and popular culture, which encompasses prominent comic, animation and video game industries."
Once I moved for my Study Abroad to Amsterdam in the Netherlands, travelling between the Benelux countries became very easy and felt as if it's obligatory. Afterall, it's a great opportunity to get to know a new culture. I went to a few different places in the Netherlands, and travelled to Antwerp, Bruges, and Brussels all by myself.
Czechia and Slovakia will always be somehow close to me due to their actual, physical proximity from my home country, Poland. Or, rather, the fact that we're sharing borders. That is why I went to Slovakia and Czechia multiple times as a child when going on hiking holidays in the mountains. I've also studied Czech language for 2 years, finishing with an intermediate level of fluency.
I've only been to Barcelona and Ibiza, so I cannot say that I know Spain well. BUT for what it's worth, I know a lot of Spanish people!
