My trips

My decision to study English was influenced by a passion for travel, cultural immersion, and exploring new destinations. I find joy in activities such as strolling through charming villages and bustling cities, and I am intrigued by the diversity of sights, from narrow alleys to grand plazas. I thoroughly enjoy visiting museums and art galleries, and I take great pleasure in selecting the appropriate restaurant to experience the local cuisine. Over the last ten years, I have traveled extensively, whether for professional or leisure purposes, visiting a total of 28 countries, primarily in Europe. These trips have taken me to diverse regions, including the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Germany, Sweden, Poland, Slovenia, Croatia, Greece, Turkey, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Romania, Morocco, and the US. The following image sliders attempt to illustrate this passion for traveling. If you would like to view the pictures, please move the cursor over the image and click on it to enlarge it. Additionally, you can use the navigation arrows to scroll through photos. I hope you find the pictures as enjoyable as I did taking them on the site.
