Over April break of 2023 I went to Portugal through a school trips. On this trip we traveled from Porto all the way to the Southern most point of Portugal. It was the farthest I've ever been from home and also my first ever trip to Europe. The trip was something I'll never be able to forget as it was just something I'd never expierienced. I was shocked by how tight the streets were and how small all the cars were. During the trip I met many people that I still talk with today and also I was able to grow connections with teachers that I had never met at school before. While we were on the trip we learned a lot about the culture of Portugal and how it came to be. Also we learned a lot about there religion and food. I am very happy that I went and still think about all the fond memories I have from going there.
