DiscoverEU Green Route travel

After 30 days of continuous travel, my DiscoverEU Green Route has come to an end! I passed a total of eight countries and collected unforgettable moments in each of them!

My adventure began in the green city of Galway (Ireland), winner of the "European green leaf" award. The first part of the trip was extremely active, full of hiking, biking and foraging in the wild. However, by far my favorite memory of all is diving with seals!

From Brussels, I carry the memory of the European Youth Week and their strength as they advocate topics that matter to us in the European Parliament!

Both European green capitals I visited, Nijmegen and Essen, showed me the importance of community in making a city a green and healthy place to live.

I ended my trip by exploring the Natura 2000 area around the city of Brasov and learning the whole traditional process of making "amadou", an alternative leather material obtained from the Fomes fomentarius mushroom in a Romanian hamlet.

As a motivation to apply to DiscoverEU and expand your horizons, I would like to share a quote with you:
"You see, I'm not sure what the secret for happiness is, but I'm pretty sure it starts when you go outside." – Tom Rosenthal
