DiscoverEU Inclusion Action is a project where we explore and visit different European countries. This adventure took place in April 2024. Our journey began with a trip to Austria, followed by Germany, then France, and after that Spain, where we stayed for 4 days. Finally, we traveled to Italy. The whole trip was done by train (and a ferry) which was a first-time experience for us teenagers.
When we were in Narbonne, France, we had a chaotic afternoon as we barely caught the train we almost missed it!
In Spain, we stayed in a mobile home. On the first day we arrived, we went grocery shopping, and in the mobile home we prepared most of our meals ourselves. We visited the Sagrada Familia, which was under construction at the time, and we also saw Park Güell. Since our backpacks weighed at least 15 kg and we had to walk a lot, we were exhausted by the end of each day. Klara and Nejc were brave enough to go swimming in the sea in April. (Brrr, I’m getting cold just thinking about it.)
I fell in love with a cat that often came to visit us. Nejc and me tried speaking Spanish, while the others focused on using English, planning our days, and looking up information.
After dinner, we had daily evaluations, sharing feedbacks on what we liked, what else we would’ve liked to see, how much time we needed, etc.
On the fifth day, we traveled to Italy on a 24-hour ferry. We visited Rome, Venice, and Vatican City (wait, a country within a country?!). In Rome by the Trevi Fountain, we had the most expensive ice cream of our lives.
Since we still had enough money left, we went out for dinner on our last evening. After dinner, we went to the apartment, packed, and went to bed. The next morning, we headed to Trieste, where we visited a pastry shop, and then Petra brought us T-shirts which everyone travelling signed. From there we went back home to Kamnik.
We had the best time, we were laughing a lot, and we would love to go again if we get the opportunity.
