Trip to Italy

I really enjoyed the trip to Italy. In Sicily is very beautiful nature and mountains, the mountains I enjoyed the most. Also there was prettysea side ,the water was so blue and you could see sand really clearly under the water. I got  a lot from this trip. For example I saw new,different cultures, a lot of cathedrals and many palmtrees. And I didn't know that in Sicily are so many cactuses. The weather was very warm and sunny, I liked it a lot. And the people there were very friendly and amazing. All Italians  were loud and very active and helpful,but in a good way. And I made great new friends.

I couldn't imagine what was going to be like our trip to Sicily. I was hoping to make some friends, instead I realized they were actual brothers and sisters to me. I felt the family hosting me was like my own and the rest of Italian people seemed people I already knew before. I don't just want to highlight how amazing Italians were but also everybody else in the exchange. I, for sure, made bonds with people from all around Europe thanks to this project, also learnt about this so similar culture to mine; the Italian culture. I believe that there was a perfect balance between showing their national pride and having spare time with our fellow mates. Every photo we took meant something, and this was reflected by the photography contest which, apart from this, encouraged us to capture the memories so we never forget them. It was hard to believe that in this times of dispair and sadness something this constructive, joyful and magnificient could have happened. I don't regret not even a second of which is the adventure of a lifetime.

Unforgettable trip to Italy

I will remember the trip to Italy for a long time. During this trip I met many wonderful people. In my opinion Italians are so friendly, happy and loud. My host family was very nice. The teacher was taking care of me every day. It was great to get to know the culture of a foreign country. I could see a lot of beautiful places with interesting history. I hope I will have a chance to visit Italy one more time.

My experience was fantastic because the people and the patrimony cultural was amazing .
I will return surely.
The food was very interesting and  delicious .
