I didn't think much of it when I first applied for Erasmus but when I learnt that I was selected I felt like I was dreaming. The fact that I was actually going to Barcelona didn't hit me until I was in airport. It was also my first time going abroad and going on a plane. And when we got off the plane, our fairytale started. We went to see famous structures, wandered around the city, ate some delicious goodies. We were surrounded by people from other countries. Even just walking around the streets and sitting on the bench, chilling gave us so much joy. It all felt so surreal that sometimes I had to remind myself to enjoy the time we have because this is a once in a lifetime experience. I cherished every moment I had and I will continue to do so.

Travelling and meeting with new cultures had been always my passion since my childhood. Erasmus + project provided me this great chance and I had an opportunity to travel one of my dream cities, Barcelona. As soon as we landed to Spain, I started to observe the city with my friends and teachers. Streets were clean and tidied. There were  loads of tourists from all around the world and even the sellers were foreign people. I noticed that Spanish people love using colours and they make colourful items. The buildings were magnificent with gothic European architecture. During the timeline I spend in Barcelona, I felt like I was flying in my dreams. All the gorgeous historical places that I saw from pictures were real and right in front of me with beautiful details. One of the greatest architect in history, Antoni Gaudi left lots of charming works, parks and structures all over the Barcelona. We visited this places and learned informations about Spain culture. The Salamandra that we saw in Parc Güell, known as "Drac" is really symbolic for Spain. Even the dog we saw in our school was named as Drac. I realized that Spain's  government have implementations about climate change and it made me happy. Although the transportation vhicles were hot, it worth to save the planet. Subway lines were very developed and spreaded. This is great thing for crowded cities. I tried several cultural foods such as Paella, Falafel and Churros. They use vegetables in their dishes, it's a bit similar with Turkey from this point. I always believe that every people left something behind them in the places they visit and most of them feel like they become a part of that city. I feel like I become a small part of Barcelona and I had great experiences in there. This project taught me a lot. I learned how to know the city, how to interact with new cultures. Due to this Erasmus+ project I also improved my English and had opportunity to share my knowledge with foreign people, communicate with them and make a culturel interaction.

I always wanted to travel to Europe and this project helped me to make that a reality and use my language skills to communicate with other people to socialize and make new friends all over the world. When we first got there I couldn't believe it. It still felt like home but once we got to the town center. Structures, people, stores, etc. showed us that we were actually in Spain. We saw almost every famous structure in Spain and every one of them managed to impress me every time. The architecture of Spain is just gorgeous and the people from there were very kind and polite . They are very advanced and they follow rules all the time. This place had all kinds of people from all around the world. It is a very touristic place. While I was there I was so comfortable because I wasn't alone there, I was with my friends and my dear teachers and we were always together there. There is a saying called '' teamwork makes the dreamwork '' and this trip made me understand that saying and it was very true. When we were there we tried Spain cuisine too. My favorite was paella. It's made with rice and vegetables and this special food has more than 10 kinds. We tried churro one of the special desserts from Spain which was also delicious. There is so much to tell about this beautiful country but to summarize for me, It has been an incredible journey I hope that I can be a part of this project again in the future, and while our visit we tell them about our beloved country too. I'm sure that they will love ours when they visit as we loved theirs too.

When we first informed that we will be doing our Erasmus+ Project in Barcelona/Spain, we were extremely shocked and excited. Once we got to the Barcelona it was like a dream come true for me because I would never imagine that I will be in another country at a very early age as 17 years old person. I was always planning to go abroad when I get old enough but with this experiment I gained the absolute success for my early career. I literally fell in love with the structures, buildings and the most importantly the architecture of the city. Because when we were walking in the streets, stoping by the squares I was always getting goosebumps. Seeing those wonderful plan of the city, the beauty of the structres, the shape that given by the skilled artists it was just gorgeous. While we were in Barcelona we really explored the city itself. We went to see the stunning La Sagrada Familia, its a church that gives you the awesome taste. You're getting satisfied by the structre itself. All those details were marvelous. Then we went to see the Barcelona Cathedral which was amazed everyone in the group. Then we stopped by squares that filled with a lot of crowd all the time we had really good time. Then we went to see the Colombus Monument which was super detailed. While exploring these structres we were exploiting the subway system of Barcelona. You can literally go anywhere with the well designed subway system in Barcelona. However it is very confusing, you can easily lose your way while not even noticing. After spending some time in Barcelona we were aware of the ways. We went to the highest point of Barcelona we were at Tipidabu hill which was the top point of the Barcelona, we were able to see the whole Barcelona city in front of us. We saw the Temple of the Sacred Heart of Jesus it was mind-blowing the elaboratness of the structure was breath-taking. We saw the huge parc that made by Antoni Gaudi. The Parc de Güell. The symbol of the Barcelona was inside of the parc the El-Drac, the famous lizzard. We saw the Casa Batlló which was made by Antoni Gaudi as well. It's a building that well designed. In our very last day we went to see the beach of the Barcelona. It was really crowded and colorful. We had a very good time while were at the beach. Overall the journey of Barcelona was one of the best experience I have ever had. The chance of getting to know another country, another culture, another people, another city that doesn't belong to your country, discovering the city structure, comprasing the similar points, tasting the traditional dishes. We actually learned a lot while we were in Barcelona. The city itself, the local people, their culture. It was just great. It will be the best trip ever for me. I am extremely satisfied of the result. I am now aware that having the knowledge of different people other than yours makes you conscious about the world. World is actually worth to travel, wonder and see. Barcelona will be the first and forever for me. I literally had the best time of my life at a very early age.

Barcelona was my dream city before Erasmus+ project. And I have never thought that I will be able to go to my dream city at 17. I really loved Barcelona. It was good with every detail of it. But the most incredible part for me was that architecture of the city. Especially the Sagrada Familia was so beautiful, when we saw that we found ourselves when we were starring at it. Also I loved the policies of Spain about climate change. When the rest of the world is wasting our earth's resources, Spain is making a progress in this field. The traffic in the city isn't so crowded for a touristic city. Most of the people uses public transportation mostly metro. So you can go to every part of the city with public transportation. Before going to Spain, we heard about Paella and Churros a lot. But they are better than we heard. We all had so much fun and we learned lots of things about Spain, Spanish people, Spanish and Catalonian culture and language. We tried so hard to represent our country as perfect as we could.
