Thanks for reading!

Thank you for the email. I’m sorry that you had to wait that long for a response. 

I would love to travel with you!

I’m happy that you know some French! You will be my personal translator.

I don’t have time in May, so what do you think about June? Maybe 5th?

A ticket to the Louvre would cost around 20 euros.

Would you like to meet and talk about some details?

Let’s keep in touch,

Sara

Hi Michał

Its Max again, Thanks for your Email and I apologize for delay with my response. I see that we have a lot in common: we both love to snowboard and to travel. My suggestion what to do when we would visit Scandinavia is to eat their local dishes. I heard that in Norway its common to find mooses in the menu. In my opinion the best traveling option is to drive around in a camper. Its also the most affordable way. But there is a big problem in the winter in Scandinavia, many roads are fully covered in snow and are impossible to drive across . But if we would want to ski and snowboard winter would be the best time to visit this region. The answer to your question is the northen lights start from September/October to March .Hope we stay in touch!

Take care

Max

Hi Julia, my name is Tobiasz and im 15 years old. I live in Tychy, Poland and ive seen your presentation about Switzerland and it really made me wanna go there. I adore traveling as I already visited lots of countries. I really enjoyed the places that you mentioned in the presentation, and I would love going there sometime. How about we go together if you want? I am looking forward to your response

Take care

I saw your presentation about Italy and I love it. I would like to travel with you - that’s why I’m writing.

My name is Sara, I’m Polish and I’m 15. I love visiting foreign places and exploring new cultures.  I’ve always wanted to see Florence and Milan and  eat some Italian pizza.

Would you like to meet face-to-face and talk about some details? I think we could fly in May, because the weather would be the best. Flights are the cheapest from the airport in Warsaw, but I’m open for other suggestions.

Anyway, why have you chosen Italy? Personally I love Italian food, but maybe your motivation is a bit deeper.

I’m looking forward to meet you,

Sara

I apologise greatly for my late response but I am ready to put my full attention to your email about my plan to visit Slovenia. I’m so glad you seem to like everything I planned and to see that not many adjustments are needed to be made because it looks like we like the same places. I think it would be ideal if we talked about the trip in more detail whenever it is possible. But it’s best for the trip to take place around the 24-28th of October because those are the only days I am free at. But the month of November is also perfectly fine for the trip to take place in. It’s also better to travel early in the morning because it enables us to get as much time in Slovenia as possible. I must say, the locations I have planned out for us to see are quite pricey, so you can bring as much money as you want and so that it will be enough for the trip. We will also travel  by train because it is cheapest that way. If you have any other questions or doubts, please make sure to write to me and this time I promise to respond as soon as possible and to stay in touch.

Best regards,

Maryam

Are you looking for a travel partner for your trip to Germany? My name is Sara and I’m 15 years old. I’m Polish, I love sports and spending time in nature. I’ve never been to Germany before and I always wanted to see Berlin, especially Berlin Tv Tower. Your presentation caught by attention because of its design and pretty photos. When would you like to go? I think that in September the weather would be nice, but we would avoid crowds of tourists. Would you like to meet and talk about the details? I have one more question: can you speak German?

Take care,

Sara
