Things that just came across my mind:
When I started travelling I didn’t feel it yet and I didn’t recognize any changes. But then I moved to the US and lived there for over a year that’s what changed me and my views on the world completely. If you don’t travel you never get to know other cultures and you never learn to question yourself or your habits which is helping you to grow your personality.
My trip was completely different from what I expected it to be. The Corona crisis changed my travel plans and I almost got stuck on the island for an undefined time. But this post won’t be just about that. I’ll also talk about the Dominican Republic and how I fell in love with this country in only 12 days.
2 weeks, one car, 2 people, 5.638 kilometers, 8 countries, 5 coasts, 2 mountains crossed, 14 different spots to sleep, one blowout and countless french baguettes. That’s what summarizes best our little Eurotrip.
During my time as an Erasmus student in Faro, Portugal I had quite a lot of time to think about my next travel destinations and I wanted them to be special ones. Portugal is a really good base for traveling, in only a few hours you get to see Spain, Gibraltar, Morocco or the beautiful Algarve itself – and of course the Azores or Madeira. I compared Madeira and the Azores and decided for myself that the Azores would be more adventurous.
