My first time in Italy

Since I was a child it was always one of my biggest dreams to go to Italy, and in the spring of 2019, it finally happened. At that time I've been learning Italian for two and a half years and this only gave me one more reason to be eager to visit the country I longed to see.

After a long train ride and taking our accommodation, we went on our way to explore. Among the city itself, we get to see Circus Maximus, Bocca della Veritá ("The Mouth of Truth"), the keyhole which shows you the biggest beauty in Rome and Tempio di Ercole Vincitore ("Temple of Hercules Victor").

If you think about Rome, the first thing that probably comes to your mind is the Colosseum. If you ever visit it (what I highly recommend) prepare, because there will be an enormous number of people wanting to do the same.

The second thing after the Colosseum is the Forum Romanum. Hours could be spent there just to walk around here and admire the beautiful remains of a bygone era. We spent two hours here, but there is so much more to it.

Vatican City is a beautiful, independent city-state within Rome. It is most well-known for the Vatican itself and being the center of the Catholic Church, also providing a living space for the pope. Vatican City is also famous for its great museum, which holds precious relics, like the Creation of Adam, painted by Michelangelo.

Ostia Antica is an archaeological site, which used to be a harbor city in ancient Rome. The city's name came from the word "os" which means mouth at Latin. Just like Forum Romanum, it is an outdoor place with much to explore.

Villa d'Este is a villa near to Rome and known for its fountains. It is listed as a UNESCO world heritage site. Nowadays it is functioning as a museum.

The place I found the most beautiful in Rome is the Quartiere Coppedé. Every building there is pure art, and even the smallest thing (like a doorbell) had been made with great care and talent.        

This one journey made me sure that as soon as I get the chance I'll come back to Italy. I did toss a coin to the Trevi Fountain, after all.

"Yes, I have finally arrived to this Capital of the World! I now see all the dreams of my youth coming to life... Only in Rome is it possible to understand Rome." - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

MY LAST TRAVEL

 MY LAST TRAVEL

My last trip was two months ago to Zagreb, Croatia. My teacher and my friends and I went on a new adventure as a great team. Zagreb was a very fascinating and beautiful city.What impressed me most were the cultural and historical places.Croats and students are very polite and friendly.They've always been very helpful to us.I've had the opportunity to meet a lot of countries, cultures and religions and it's given me a lot of positive things. My host has been very helpful to me and has always been very kind to me. During our time at school we did workshops and worked on digital life. I would say it's the most fun part of our activities outside of school because I've met people in different countries and I've really enjoyed it. One of the most interesting places I went was the Museum of illusion. We saw Samabor, another city in Croatia, and it was a very sweet City.  I can tell you that I love the Tesla Museum because I've learned a lot of new things about Tesla. Obviously Zagreb is a great city in every way, but I think what was nice for me was the friendship we built and I really miss them. This has been a very good experience for me. Everything on this trip was beautiful and I loved Zagreb.

Wonderful cities!!!

DIFFERENT WAYS TO TRAVEL

There are many types of travels, if we want to travel for to know other cultures, countries, people, you can use organised travels or other ways more personalised.

Nowadays, people prefer , the travels where you only to book the fly and the hotels. thereby people improvise and they go making the trip they want at any moment. Some people travel without any preparation, they are young people normally, it is a travel less comfortable and safe on the other hand, that allows to enjoy of the countries or regions you want to visit in your own way.

Other people travel with everything organised, but when you need to book one hotel and a flight in advance, is possible the improvise is limited. 

Other way is travel exchanging our house o second residence on the beach, on the countryside... with the house of the other families. This way has a lot of advantages especially for families. First it allows to improvise the excursions or visits according to what makes you enjoy more. Also, you are close of the real life of people, because you stay in a village or neighborhood where live normal people. Second it is more economic, and you can exchange the car, that makes possible more trips on the country. It is similar to rent an apartment and car but is more economic and the house can be not in a touristic area. It is a way safer and comfortable especially for families with child, because the child can play in a house when they are tired. This type of travel is made through platform, like INTERVAC, on the internet that evaluate the participants and their home in a way that ensure a correct choice. My own experience was always amazing and my family and me visited like this a lot of countries of Europe and USA.

MY LAST TRAVEL

My last trip was a few weeks ago to New York. 

I went there with my group of friends although it was not a very long trip, but we really enjoyed it. When we arrived we went to the hotel to rest and chanced the looks and then we went to investigate the city. The first day we visited the Statue of Liberty, we ate at the hotel and the afternoon we passed through the center of New York. The next day, in the morning, we went to Central Park and took photos; in the afternoon we decided to stay at the hotel and go out at night for a walk around the city. 

And the end of this trip came because the next morning we had to catch the flight to return to Manises.
It was a spectacular trip and I really enjoyed it.

 

MY BEST TRAVEL

My best trip was in 2017 on a Mediterranean cruise. I visited Rome, Florence, Pisa, Naples (pompella) and many more places. It was my best trip because I made many friends from different places in Spain. It was a family trip with my parents, my brother, my grandmother and my cousin Lorena. The place I liked most of all I visited was Rome for all the monuments.
