History Lorena Task 4.
An adventure as a couple
This trip was in 2018 in the month of September, which was planned with my husband after
several trips that were made within the country, we felt the need to know places outside the
country, new cultures, different foods and the best of all was that the return had no date.
Since our plans were to meet up and if we liked it, we would stay the necessary time to
enjoy those wonderful places without worry and we had the expectation of new adventures
to live, new people to meet along the way, which happened wonderfully.
This adventure started in Bogota since on the day of departure we said goodbye to friends
and family, we packed what was necessary for the trip and with our savings we left happily
one night on September 28, the next stop was in Paris, there we ate delicious food, The
famous pizza and others, that day we put our bags and asking questions we arrived at the
Eiffel tower, that day I understood the importance of English in my life as a traveler since
we defended ourselves with the little English that I understood, all the stay in Paris we
spoke English For any concern or relationship with others, on the second day we met a very
nice couple of travelers and we became friends, we shared and laughed a lot, they spoke 5
to access other cultures already It is better than knowing other countries to speak their
to arrive at his house and begin with the tour of the best places in this city, we went to the
royal palace, Almudena Cathedral, Retiro Park, Stadium Real Madrid and many more
We arrived in that city in winter, which was another experience in the snow, we took
advantage of this time to go to the hill and there we played with the snow we shared with
friends, Christmas was also different because in that country they do not celebrate
Christmas the same, it is less enthusiastic they celebrate more the 6th of kings and
The days we spent in those places were wonderful, we even found temporary jobs there,
and with the passage of time we got to know the surrounding towns and their cultures, one
of the towns that most caught our attention was Segovia for its majestic streets and its
historic aqueduct as a world reference, there we walked its streets and listened to its
ancestral stories, and so we felt on the other side of history, which was fantastic since in
Europe they talk about the conquest or discovery of America as a heroic feat. While our
reality was another, this took us to the other side of history since previous months we were
on a historical tour of Cartagena in the walled city listening to how our brave men defended
the territory from an invasion, from the excesses that our women lived in foreign hands that
was our experience from both sides of history a relevant and unique event
That trip brought us wonderful experiences, in which we learned about other traditions and
cultures, traveling to other places opened our minds to new possibilities and experiences,
these places remained in our hearts but this trip ended after a long 3-month vacation where
our home called us back to continue with our lives and our loved ones.
