Ten days and six countries. My DiscoverEU experience

A friend told me about the DiscoverEU opportunity. We ended up entering the competition. At first we were only on the reserve list, but then we were selected and we could start planning our trip. I decided to apply for Discover EU because I like to experience new cultures and I love travelling.

We travelled through France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark and Sweden. The journey took us ten days and we travelled just over a thousand kilometres by train. We decided to travel at the end of October during the autumn holidays. We were both still in high school at the time.

We decided to go for a flexible ticket so that we could explore more countries. However, we wondered if we would stay in France and only travel there. But in the end we wanted to experience more cultures and places, so we decided to go with the flexible option.

We enjoyed Denmark and Sweden the most. We liked the culture there and the people were very friendly.
