Gran Canaria - immer gut für einen schönen Urlaub

Travelling has always been an essential part in life for me. When I was young I used to travel with my family though just more or less short trips - we have been, for example, to Italy, Turkey, Spain, France. Later I usually traveled with friends (to Great Britain, Spain, within Austria) or with my brother (to Mexico). Then my boyfriend became my new travelling partner - together we went to Tunisia, skiing trips, Italy, USA, Canada, to the Philippines, etc.

Since my study abroad, long-term trips to other countries have become more important to me. Therefore I try to seize every opportunity to go abroad - various programs support(ed) me on this way (Wirtschaftskammer Oesterreich, AIESEC).

For me, travelling is very important because when going abroad you can do a lot for your personal development: getting to know different cultures, people, and lifestyles; living within another culture broadens your mind, therefore I always try to get in contact with the people living in the particular country; especially when travelling to a poorer country than your own, you appreciate your home country more and live a more intense life; you get to know different styles of handling things, different points of views;... Actually, in my mind travelling has only advantages (despite the fact that I miss my boyfriend, family, and friends during my trips). Therefore I'll grab every chance to get abroad, as often as possible.

Hopefully I'll get a job within a multinational company therefore I may get the chance to work in another country - and maybe for ever. We'll see.

Now, before you check out my trips, I have something for you:
