In summer of 2019 I visited Egypt, Turkey, Italy, Grece, Albania and Croatia. I was in these countries for a month getting to know their cultures and religions. From this trip I must admit that I had a complete mental switch; I had never seen the way in which people from a religion so different to mine live, the Muslim religion is different from the Catholic religion in many ways. I lived through the cultures of these countries, getting to know a lot more about the world. Although I live in Colombia, a country of few economic resources, sometimes we lock ourselves in a bubble, closing our eyes to our country´s reality. In Egypt I saw how people worked so hard for a living but had to live in vulnerable conditions. Although I had already seen this, never had I been so deeply involved, reason for which my mentality towards the world changed a lot and I can say I learned many things in this trip.
