I love travelling. In my first year of university, I started to travel during the holidays. During the Christmas holiday I went to Paris, and during the spring vacation, I  (visit) Athens and many other cities in Italy. I was very excited  this was the first time I had travelled aboard with just my friends. At first, I simply thought travelling as a way to have something to look forward to after exams, but I soon discovered how important it is  (travel).

    On my travels I have the chance to experience new cultures through the art, history, language and food. Also, I have the chance to communicate  people who have different opinions on life. Travelling is  learning experience for both yourself and the people you meet. Some people I met during my travels had never heard of my home town and it was very exciting for me to tell  (they) about it. When you travel you will meet people who have different cultural  (background) and as a result, sometimes your own ideas and opinions might be challenged. It's important to learn to see  (thing) from other people's perspectives.

    This is how I realized that travelling makes one appreciate home. When you see others have so little, you get to realize how  (luck) you are! It makes you miss things at home. Not just the physical location of home, but also your way of life.

    Travelling is truly a(n)  (value) experience and I am always excited about the discoveries in my next journey!
