What impressed us most in Sicily....by the Bulgarian team

My great time in Sicily

 Lora Radkovska

Coming to Sicily, I knew that I was going to have an amazing time. However, my stay exceeded my expectations.

Firstly, when I arrived I was warmly welcomed by the whole Rappazzo family. My host, Giulia, introduced me to her sister and her parents. Later that night, we had dinner together, where they served me one of the most signature Sicilian dishes – aranchini.

On the next day, we visited one of the local schools where the students gave an astonishing musical performance. Then every country represented their cultural heritage with a video or a presentation. I learned so much not only for Sicily but for the other participants too.

The next few days me and the other students visited many local sights such as Taormina, the local theater, the Town Hall. During my stay I was feeling more than welcome in my host family. Their hospitality made my visit unforgettable. This visit not only made me develop empathy for other cultures but also helped me create a lifetime friendships.

The trip to Sicily was amazing. All the love that the family had shown to me was remarkable. They are very kind and hospitable people. When I got there, I was like a dog with two tails. I saw the amazing architecture of the town, but let me tell you about the food. It’s one of a kind. From the ice cream to the homemade pasta. Everything from the first night to the last day was very magnificent. All the places we had visited ware stunning with a wonderful view. I have learned a lot about the Sicily’s history.  I am really tankful to my teachers and Erasmus for that I had chance to be a part of the enjoyable travel. I would recommend and be part of all other Erasmus trips in the future.

First of all if you participate in Erasmus you can see different people and how people live in other countries. Also you can visit interesting places. One of the most important things is that you improve your English. You become more sociable because you should to communicate with other project participants. Respect to all families who are ready to shelter someone in their family. For one week you become a member of your hosts’ family. I think all families are loving and caring with their guests.

Italy is one of the most beautiful countries and especially Sicily. Italian food is the best in the word. People there were very kind to all of us. Host families took good care for us. I really like this one week in Sicily and I want to thank to all Erasmus project.

I was extremely satisfied with my visit to Sicily. I learned a lot about Italian culture, cuisine and history but most importantly I was delighted to spend time with people my age from all over Europe. I am grateful for receiving the opportunity to travel to Italy and to see so many beautiful cities and cultural sites. I hope I get to go back there one day in the future and have an incredible time again. I would gladly recommend other students to participate in the Erasmus project because it is a once in a lifetime opportunity that no one should miss out on.

My Czech Experience

Hi everyone, I have just finished my Erasmus trip in the Czech Republic and I am really happy with what I have done. Both hosting and being hosted is a beautiful thing. I found myself in a very welcoming and prepared family. I also found some super friends with whom I shared a thousand memories that will always remain within me. The flower garden, Zlìn, Kromeritz chateau... are fantastic places that I will never forget. My favorite stop was the Velehrad church and the Modrá Archaeological Heritage Village There is an archaeological museum here, which shows what life was like in the Great Moravian State. From the Czech Republic I will certainly miss my host family and all my friends, even the long green meadows will remain in my heart, I will console myself with my beautiful sea in Sicily. I thank everyone, professors and organizers, who made this wonderful experience possible. Mattia, Italy

What amazed us the most in the Czech Republic

  Nikolay, Bulgaria           To begin with, Kromeriz amazed me with its beauty. The architecture was incredible, you don’t see that beautiful buildings every day, it just took my breath away. The flower garden, oh it was amazing as well. I couldn’t believe how there is such an amazing garden with so much plants and how they take care of every centimeter of that garden. Then the story of the factory of Rudolf Jelinek. It was incredible. But mostly I was awestruck of the people. The Czechs are people with big hearts. You can talk with them about everything, they are cool and hospitable. They are so calm with sense of humor and you can always have fun with them. As a whole, I liked everything in Czech, I can’t say that I didn’t like something, everything was brilliant. I was really amazed of that country.   Simona, Bulgaria I was really impressed by the flower garden . I have never been to such a place and it was really beautiful for me there . The fountain was made very beautif

Our Bulgarian Trip: A Rich Mix of Impressions

  We really enjoyed the variety of places and experiences that we could experience on our Bulgarian mobility. For some of us the highlight was the Bulgarian nature - the Prachodna Cave was really impressive and it was a reward to experience it after a hike in the woods! Some of us liked Etar - an open-air museum where we could see a bit of the history of the region we were staying in with the traditional crafts and architecture. And some of us won’t forget the fun we had in the Museum of optical illusions, which was really funny. And on top of that: baking the local speciality at our hosting school, meeting future artists and trying to make our own sculptures and souvenirs (We don’t think we were very successful.) and then, meeting a real star of Bulgarian pop-music! We really think we tasted a variety of flavours of Bulgarian culture and nature and we will never forget! Thank you, Bulgaria for our Erasmus experience!   Team Czech Republic
