I think my last year was great. In 2018, I visited many new places for me. My purpose in December 2017 was that in 2018 I would travel to many cities and maybe to many countries. Now, in January 2020, I can say that I completed my goal from 2017 because I visited different countries and a lot of cities.

In my trips, I learned many things, such as some words in various languages, different and crazy dress styles, differences between cultures and of course, I learned about the typical food. Before I went to a country with different language, I always looked and learned about their short phrases and greetings. I think it is very important to know a little information about the places where are you planing to visit.

In conclusion, I can tell you that my best advice is know yourself and try to know your country and our world. Around the world there are wonderful places to visit. You have many options, depending on whether you want to know a new culture, look at new architecture, go to nice beaches, do business or just relax.

Last year, I went to Europe and visited some countries, such as Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Czech Republic and others. I loved Greece, similar to Spain, it has wonderful islands and amazing sunset. However, Greece was my favorite place. In Greece, I was in different places that I wanted to get to know, such as Acropolis of Athens, Parthenon, Ancient Agora of Athens and Vouliagmeni beach.

I was in Barcelona, Spain. This city is so big and the most organized city on the world. I think if I needed to move to an other country, my first choice would be Barcelona, Spain. My first language is Spanish like Barcelona. It’s makes my live in this country easier. I have some friends that are living in Spain, and they tell me that it is easy to find a job.

Today we visited some famous places of Lower Manhattan. The most important place for me was Statue of Liberty. I love that sculpture because it’s very important and fantastic city icon. It was a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States. The Statue was dedicated on October 28, 1886. The seven rays of the Statue’s crown represent the seven seas and seven continents of the world. Today I also learned that the first president in United States was George Washington between 1789 and 1797.

I’m 25 years old. I’m from Bogota-Colombia. I decided to learn English, because I’m a lawyer in Colombia, and it is very important to know English. I moved to New York City on July 2018. I choose to take the ELS course here in Manhattan because I live in Queens with 2 friends and their dog.
