MY TRAVEL DIARY
I had the opportunity to participate in the Embracing the Erasmus+ program. For the beginning I have to say only one word “WOW”.
I
arrived to Velenje on Sunday evening and I met my host family, a kind and
welcoming family. They were nice and polite and I felt like I was at home.
On the first day I was pleased to represent my
Country, Romania, to the
representatives of the other countries (Italy, England, Slovenia and Turkey). I
spoke proudly and I have had a lot of emotions. Then we went to the welcome
party where we learnt how to survive in the forest. There I met friendly and sociable people and I was
excited about the new adventure in Slovenia. What continued was fantastic. We
learnt English in a host school’s classroom
by playing games and learning about each country .
We visited the Velenje castle and the Velenje Coal
Mine. There was wonderful. We have learnt how to dance a Slovenian Folk Dance.
The last day was the most emotional one because we
loved that place and we were used waking up in a sunny day meeting new people
and talking a lot. In the last day we visited Ljubljana, the capital city and
the Postojna Cave, the biggest in Europe. It was perfect…
The most beautiful experience in my life was ending
there. I met new people and I will not
forget this week. I hope I will arrive in Slovenia again soon. Erasmus changes your LIFE.

My Travel Diary
ReplyDeleteHi ! In my opinion the trip to Velenje, Slovenia, was fantastic. It had many interesting touristic sights, like Predjama Castle, Postojna Cave, The Coal Mining Museum.
I liked Postojna Cave very much, it has many stalagmites and stalactites, some pillars and some ‘’curtains’’. There is a 10 degree constant temperature, so it’s pretty cold.
Anyways, beside the touristic sights, the family that hosted me was very cool, I liked them so much ! I would like to come to Velenje, Slovenia again, because it’s very beautiful in there and very clean, the people in that town are very nice and polite.

My trip to Slovenia
ReplyDeleteI was selected by the ERASMUS+ Project to got to Velenje, Slovenia, on 21st May 2017.
I read about Velenje in the past, but I never tought I’d go there.
When we arrived at the airport, a bus was waiting for us and the italian children and teachers. That bus took us to the city we were all waiting to see, Velenje.
The Slovenian children and their parents were waiting for us.
The first day was awesome. I got up in the morning, dressed up and then went to the school with Ana.
At the school, the pupils sang very beautiful songs. Then, it was our turn to tell them something about our country, city and school.
The atmosphere there was amazing. The students and their teachers were so polite and excited, that gave us so much confidence.
The International Welcome Party was very funny and educative in the same time. We had delicious food, and very exciting activities like mounting a tent or shooting with a bow.
The trips to the Postojna Cave and Ljubjana, the capital of Slovenia were also very interesting. The Cave is absolutely rare, I’ve never seen one like it before. It also has a legend with de Fishman who’s living there, ant that legend is very catchy.
When it was time to leave, I thanked all the teachers, students and Ana’s family.
I hope that they will enjoy our country like we enjoyed theirs.
