Travelling Travelling gives you many wonderful experiences you cannot find in your own country. You meet local people and get to understand different cultures. It’s so exciting. I love planning trips and doing some research on the country or countries I want to visit. Sometimes I like to plan everything in advance, my flights, hotels and tours, etc. For me, the most exciting thing is arriving in a country with no hotel reservation and no fixed plans. I prefer staying in hostels and guest houses. You get to meet and talk to different and interesting people and share information. I also like to visit places that are off the beaten track. Being somewhere with thousands of other tourists? It’s not my cup of tea.
My last vacationBy, Johana González
In my last vacation I went to Curacao and Aruba, two of the most famous Netherlands Antilles near America. It was this year in January. And I went with a friend.
There, I could see different kind of sea animals like flamingos, sharks, fish and dolphins.
I was in a dolphin and a see lion show and they were great, they did a lot of tricks that made feel really amazed.
What I saw…
I ate different kinds of sea food like sushi in a really beautiful Japanese restaurant.
I also ate a delicious typical white fish from Curacao and a typical dish from Aruba called Keshi Yena.
Food…
I stayed at kurahulanda village hotel, it was an antique house from Curacao with a lot of historique elements of slavery.
The hotel
There I swam in the hotel’s pool and I also did it on the beach.
Activities…
However, I didn’t like the beaches because there were lots of people, they were really crowded.
