ENG: MY TRIP ACROSS AMERICA

One of the best parts about going on a J1 is the travelling after work. Today, I wanted to show you my trip across America. I hope this post will be useful for you in regards to planning your own trip.

Sooo! Everything, of course, started and ended in New York. After camp, we travelled to the La Guradia airport and from there we had our first flight to Miami. We stayed in Miami for two days, and then we got our cruise to the Bahamas. Yes, you heard me right, THE BAHAMAS! I still cannot believe I was actually there. I will tell you a bit more about the cruise itself in a separate post. After the cruise, we ended up back in Miami in the early morning. Our flight to Las Vegas was in the evening, so we pretty much spent the whole day at the airport. We were picked up by our friend in Las Vegas, as we have rented a car together for the next part of travelling. We spent two nights in Las Vegas, and from there, we went to see the sunset at Grand Canyon. It was one of the most amazing moments in my life! After susnet, we drove for the whole night and arrived in Los Angeles in the very early hours of the morning. We spent two days in Los Angeles, and then we headed towards San Francisco. On our way there, we stopped in Hollywood, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills and Santa Barbara. We planned to stay in San Franciso for a bit longer, and then to travel to Yosemite, but because of the incident that happend (basically, our car was broken into and robbed), we decided to head back from where we came and spend some more time in places we already knew. Afterwards, my cousin and I separated from our friends and got a bus from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, and from there we flew back to New York, where we spent three more days before our flight home.

As you can see, we really manged to see a lot during our travels and the three weeks of travelling were very intense. To be honest, I didn't really feel relaxed after all of this, I felt exactly the opposite! Tired, or exhausted to be more precise! I was dreaming of my bed. But I wouldn't like to have it any other way! It really showed us what travelling is about and that it is not always so good, there are bad days as well and times were you end up with no place to sleep, or you get robbed. You can't plan everything. But to sum up, I did love every minute and I am happy we did everything the way we did! I learned a lot and I have memories which will last forever!

So, are you up for it? Or would you prefer something more laid back? Let me know!

Talk to you soon,

BERLIN TRIP (MOBILE MIX) | BEN COCKS - SO COLD

Hej kochani! 

W końcu znalazłam chwilkę, aby podzielić się z Wami moimi wrażeniami z Berlina. Było cudownie. Spędziłam w Berlinie pięć dni razem ze sporą gromadką ludzi z mojej uczelni, w tym również z mojej klasy. Myślę, że takie wycieczki zawsze otwierają nam oczy na świat, pomagają wiele rzeczy zrozumieć i przede wszystkim poznać siebie. Pod tym względem - nie mogło być lepiej. Wiele sytuacji nauczyło mnie dużo ważnych rzeczy, których nigdy nie zapomnę. Ale! Wracając do wycieczki.. Nie pamiętam kiedy ostatnio tyle chodziłam. Razem z dwoma koleżankami z mojej klasy postanowiłyśmy sporadycznie korzystać ze środków transportu, więc większość czasu spędziłyśmy chodząc (praktycznie codziennie przechodziłyśmy ponad dziesięć kilometrów, huh). Myślę, że dopóki pogoda na to pozwala, jest to lepsza opcja poruszania się po mieście, ponieważ pozwala nam o wiele więcej zobaczyć i przede wszystkim, pomaga nam "poczuć" miejsce w którym się znajdujemy. Muszę przyznać, że wiele ciekawych miejsc odkryłyśmy naprawdę przez przypadek. Było warto? Nawet teraz sądzę, że TAK! 

Hi everyone!

I finally found a moment to share with you my thoughts on Berlin. It was lovely. I spent five days in Berlin, together with a large crowd of people from my university, including few people from my class. I think that such trips always open our eyes to the world, help us to understand a lot of things better and above all, they help us to get to know ourselves. In this case - it couldn't be better. Many situations taught me a lot of important things that I will never ever forget. But! Returning to the trip itself .. I can't remember the last time I actually did so much walking. Together with two friends from my class, we decided to use the public transport occasionally, so we spent most of the time walking (we walked more than ten kilometers everyday, huh). I think that as long as the weather is nice, it's always a better option to get around the city, because it allows you to see a lot more and most of all, it helps you to really exeprience the place. I have to admit that we discovered a lot of interesting places just by accident. Was it worth it? Even now I think the answer is YES!

Na razie tyle, nie chcę Was zanudzić! Przepraszam za jakość, ale jak sam tytuł mówi, są to zdjęcia z mojego telefonu. W wolnej chwili wrzucę tu więcej zdjęć z aparatu. Tak czy siak, sądzę, że fajnie będzie wracać do tego postu. Cudowna pamiątka!

So that's everything for now, I don't want you to get bored. I'm really sorry for the quality, but as you can see in the title of the post - all of these pictures come from my phone. I'll try to upload the pictures from my camera, as fast as I can. Moving on, I think it's going to be one of these posts, which I will return to often. It's nice to have all your memories in one place!

Kisses,

Klaudia.. X
