I love learning about other cultures, discovering other food and new recipies, hearing the sound of a unknown language (maybe even discovering similarities to a known one) and hearing about crazy or just lovely traditions and just all the small things that make your country what it is today.
I was travelling in France during my gap year, stayed on small farms most of the time but also saw some nice cities, especially in the North-West and South of France. Experienced the busy market at Le-touquet, get surprised by the sun in Montpellier in January and fell in love with the busy streets and multi-cultural vibes of Marseille 🙂
Also went on a cycling trip in Norway, the landscape is soo beautiful but after that I will never cycle mountains again 😉
