Maja’s travel memories

Honestly, it was one of the best experiences I have ever had - even though I travel quite a lot. I really liked the fact that I was able to travel with my friends, so we can share these amazing memories together. Not only we were able to see new places and meet new people, we got to experience some things, we wouldn't be able to experience if we stayed at home. I was surprised that almost every train worker knew about EuRail pass and they were also willing to help us with everything we needed. We tend to rely on airplanes and cars, in that way we forget about how amazing train transport is. Not only is it comfortable and easy to use, it gives you the opportunity to meet other travelers and get a look into places you wouldn't even know existed.  Besides knowing your national background, it's important to learn about other cultures. DiscoverEU gives the opportunity to get to know locals and their way of life. We wanted to experience places as locals, so we bought food at local grocery shops, tried typical cuisine and attempted to learn at least some foreign words. I was positively surprised how kind everybody was. People gladly stopped and spared some of their time to help or talk to us. I think people don't know how easy it is to travel around Europe. The European Union is doing an amazing job on trying to connect young people from different countries, by allowing them to travel with small expenses. We are the next generation that's going to lead our governments and countries and we must step together and work towards similar aims. We can do that if we know where we come from, and where other come from and this project is allowing as to do so.
