Travelling Makes You Richer
By: Hadeel Melhem
Travelling teaches us a lot of new things and helps us discover who we truly are and it gives us a chance to meet new people. It also helps us learn about countries’ customs and tourists and cultural attractions. Moreover, it facilitates learning the language of the country we are visiting.
My experience in travelling in a cultural exchange programme with Zajel to Italy was great and beneficial. Now, I believe that I am able to travel alone without having any guides because we learned many things like how to use all means of transportation. We have also learned Italian language and taught Arabic language to Italian university students who became our friends.
All cities in Italy are beautiful; we visited Rome; a city that is filled with culture and we visited Napoli in which we met many Italian volunteers from L’Orientale University. Also, Venice was one of the most beautiful cities we visited. Its unique means of transportation and the islands that are near all together add to its beauty.
The Italian food was just as it is described; the pasta, pizza, gelato and tiramisu are all delicious.
