My DiscoverEU experience
Filippos, GreeceThe most important experience for me was the opportunity I had to explore different cultures! I became more open-minded, and I realized how much we have in common with other Europeans.
Hello! My name is Filippos, and I am 22 years old and I am from Greece.
In 2018, as soon as I finished school, I had one of the most beautiful experiences of my life, utilizing the Discover EU programme!
I travelled by train from Italy to Madrid, and Ι discovered various European cities! This travel provided me with a learning experience like no other and pushed me out of my comfort zone.
The most important experience for me was the opportunity I had to explore different cultures! I became more open-minded, and I realized how much we have in common with the Italians and the Spaniards! Happy people, with intense culture and -definitely- perfect food!
Together with my classmate Nikos we lived 10 unforgettable days, travelling, listening to nice music, and hanging out with young people from different European countries!
What stood out was our stay in Barcelona. We visited museums and got to know great works of art by Gaudi! We also made friends with whom we have kept in touch until today, and we hope that they will visit us in Greece soon!
This trip will remain forever engraved in my mind and my heart!
