Juan Pablo Duque: "Hello, good morning to all of you, I am excited to come and tell you my
experience"

Juan Pablo Duque: "When I began to tell my stories and experiences of my adventures
around the world, I realized that people like to know about the different countries I have
visited"

Juan Pablo Duque: "This morning I got up thinking and remembering when I went to my first
trip outside of Colombia, I was very nervous, but at the same time very excited to know a new
culture"

Juan Pablo Duque: "I had the flight scheduled for Friday night, I said goodbye to my family,
packed my travel bag and headed for the airport.”

Juan Pablo Duque: "My mom tells me ...

Juan Pablo's Mom: "Son, be very careful, you bring me something nice of your trip"
Juan Pablo Duque: "I answer him, calm mom I will bring you many gifts"

Context

Juan Pablo Duque: "After leaving Bogotá, after a long

trip, I arrived in Mykonos, a beautiful Greek island, its
name is in honor of the great Apollo" Mykonos ", in this
beautiful place I met many things in particular, first it is
an island where many celebrities, college students and
families go to celebrate their holidays "

Juan Pablo Duque: "On the island many famous people are seen, couples that are very
romantic, like to go to this place to get married, also to spend the honeymoon in this romantic
place.

Juan Pablo Duque: "I liked the island very much, I went to very prestigious hotels, I take a lot
of pictures, the weather is very nice, at night there are many events, I went to a party of
friends I met on the island, to the other I ended up very tired, but enjoy the experience”

Juan Pablo Duque: "When I returned to Bogotá, I was sad, I missed the island a lot, but I
brought my family many presents, my mom brought a reminder of the island, and also lots of
sweets.

Juan Pablo Duque: "Time after this trip to Mykonos, I planned another trip, this time to go
with my girlfriend to Paris, the city of love, we left in 2 weeks, we packed our bags, and we
left"

Juan Pablo Duque: "My girlfriend tells me ...

Juan Pablo's girlfriend: "I am very happy to go to Paris, I want to arrive"

Juan Pablo Duque: "I tell him that I'm also excited to go and meet, she had already been with
her family for a while, but this time, I'm going to go for the first time"

Juan Pablo Duque: "We arrived in Paris on a Saturday

morning, we arrived tired, but happy to be there, and we
slept about 4 hours and went to lunch in the beautiful
hotel near the Eiffel Tower.

Juan Pablo Duque: "The next day we went to a very

famous place, the triumphal arch, we took many photos, this place is well known for being the
closing of the tour of France, and we were very excited and happy"

Juan Pablo Duque: "We enjoyed Paris more and more, we also knew the Eiffel Tower,
because it was very close to our beautiful hotel, we went up the tower and we took the
picture on top of it, my girlfriend gave me a kiss and it was very romantic"

Juan Pablo Duque: "This trip we enjoyed a lot with my girlfriend, we liked it too much, we ate
very good food, we knew very romantic places and the most important thing is that we were
always together"

Juan Pablo Duque: "The last day was sad, my girlfriend cried because she wanted to stay
and live there, but Bogotá was again our return"

Juan Pablo Duque: "I spend a lot of time since that trip, we remember it a lot, and we hope
one day to be able to return to Paris"

Juan Pablo Duque: "in the holidays of the last year, with my family we thought about making
a super trip to Sydney, my whole family loved the idea and we prepared everything to go on
vacation"

Juan Pablo Duque: "We left on December 16, just the day of my birthday, it was a long trip,
where we slept a lot, but we arrived, we received some aunts who have lived in Sydney for
30 years, we stayed in a beautiful house”
Juan Pablo Duque: "Sydney is a beautiful city, it's very hot in the mornings, but at night it's
cold. The winters are not too cold and offer many days of sunshine. The minimum
temperatures reach 7 degrees Celsius in the coldest months, which makes the large part of
the population enjoy much of the outdoors"

Juan Pablo Duque: "We went as a family to know the whole

city and it's really amazing, Sydney is well known for its Dock
(Port Jackson is the largest natural harbor in the world), its
Opera House and its Harbor Bridge. In turn, it is also famous
for its incredible beaches, such as Bondi Beach and other 120
frequented by surfers throughout the year. Thanks to its parks
and beaches, Sydney maintains a perfect symbiosis between
a big city and wilder nature"

Conclusion

Juan Pablo Duque: "These three trips have been of the most important; I really liked these
places, because I always lived very unique experiences for my life"

Juan Pablo Duque: "For me, these adventures were very important because:

1. I know new places and think that the world is a book, and those who do not travel read
only a page
2. I Disconnect from the routine, the near, the current problems, and even the customs. I
Take a distance and confront them with a slightly more relaxed look and full of new
experiences.
3. I Have a LOT of time to reflect. The head and heart prepare for a time of reviewing things,
of absorbing new things, and of reflecting on life, rest, work, love, or whatever it is that is
occupying us now.
4. I learn new things. Languages, customs, new ways of solving the same problems, new
ways of having fun, of loving, of enjoying, or even fulfilling responsibilities that we already
had. Things that cannot always be learned in books or in the faculty.
5. I Meet new people. In new spaces, of different ethnic groups, beliefs, ways of thinking and
living, of different social classes, nationalities, and customs.
Juan Pablo Duque: "Finally I want to recommend to all of you, make trips to any part of the
world, it is very important to live these experiences in your life, you will know many things and
you will never regret it, thanks for your attention, see you soon”
