Since I was a child I have always
been fascinated by the idea of discovering new places outside my own country. I
was curious to know that there was such a vast world outside the door of my
house, and I wanted to travel it as soon as possible. Studying English at
school aroused my passion for this
language together with my interest in
all the countries where it is spoken, but in particular Great Britain. Lots of
my relatives told me about their adventures all over the world, they showed me
photos, videos and they brought me gadgets and I remember being really impressed
with what they showed me about London. I don’t know why, probably because I saw
that city very different from my village, it seemed another world to me and at
that time I was just a 10-year-old girl.
So I started to ask my parents to go
to visit London, I dreamed of getting on that strange giant wheel known as the
London Eye which seemed to me just a wonderful carousel, I couldn’t wait to see
the beautiful palace of the Queen and I even wanted to put on her crown, just
to feel like a princess!
Years passed, but my desire of visiting
the capital of Great Britain remained
essentially unchanged as I grew up. I was also learning the traditions and customs
of the country, and then those
attractions, which as a child seemed so strange to me, began to take their real
form, and they continued to captivate me very much … until Christmas 2017!
