One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing experience is my Erasmus exchange to Sweden. You live abroad and study on a different university then your home university. You meet people from all over the world and that is amazing! To see all the different cultures and meet people who are as open minded as you.
In addition, my journey to The Gambia in Africa. It was my first experience with Africa and it is a beautiful country! Even if I saw just a little pies of it. At the same time you see poverty and that made a big impact on my.
