                                                My Erasmus+ Adventure
              My Erasmus+ adventure has begun with the excitement that I couldn’t describe on the first day I learned that I was a part of this project. Everything was so far but time passed so fast.On the first step of our project which is Turkey, we had an unique experince with my family. My Romanian friend stayed for a week with us. We made some traditional food together, drank tea in the cold winter nights, sang Turkish folk music with my mother, went to elder people of my family’s houses and listened to nice stories.We saw our similarities and differences, then we made them experience books to our memory library.
             After the Turkey part of the project, I started to wait Czech Republic part that I was in.I knew that we were going to go in April and stay with a host family. While I was thinking about them I couldn’t understand how time passed and suddenly I found myself in Prague flight. Our train travel to Prerov took 3 hours and that 3 hours were the most beutiful and enjoyful travel I have ever had. While we were in the train we became closer friends with the Alaşehir group.When we get to Prerov my host friend took me with his father and his father drove home through the yellow canola fields. His mother was waiting for me at home and after she opened the door she hugged me. It was a surprise for me. At that time I felt I was with a lovely family. During the project week we attended to some workshops and presentations about how to live more healthy, we had trips to another beautiful cities. After our program sometimes we spend time with our friends and shared so much things together. Their families invited us to dinner and we listened traditional Czech music we ate our delicios meal and took pictures between beautiful apple trees. And at nights I spend time with my host family, had nice conversation. I made Turkish coffee and became a fortune teller. The fortune was saying “ You have a second family now, enjoy the time you spend with them.”
              To sum up, we learned what should we do to be more healthy with our workshops, we saw different places, tasted different foods, heard different languages and we made unique friendships with nice people. I want to thank to my teachers, family, host family and everyone who has made us to live these beautiful moments.
