Summer in Scotland

Me and my family really like travelling, and we try to do it as much as possible. Last summer we went to Scotland, because we thought it would be relaxing and uncrowded, and the landscape would be beautiful. We visited many places, but the most exciting thing we did was taking a small scientific boat in the North Sea.

It's a touristic route that starts from John O' Groats, a small town in Scotland's northern coast. The objective is to see the wildlife. It goes around the Orkney Islands and gets back. When the tour started it was sunny, but the weather started to get worse and worse. The waves were almost as tall as the boat itself, and standing was very difficult. The rain was thin, but cold and fast, and the wind was strong. Of course, it was really cold. Despite it all, we saw many different birds, fishes, and grey seals.

It was very cool. The islands of the North Sea are very beautiful, and the birds and seals were amazing. Even the bad weather made it more interesting. We had a very good time, and I'd love to do something like that again.

My travel blog: the most amazing travel!

MY TRAVEL BLOG

The years 2007 and 2008 were amazing. I travelled to New york in 2007 and in 2008, I was in a cruise on the Mediterranean sea. But I’m going to explain my amazing experience in USA.

Firstly, I have to say that I was too young to appreciate every single place, roads, squares, markets, shops, museums.. and it makes me feel unhappy. However, I can say that I whatched the Statue of Liberty or Central Park for example; and I have nice memories of that.

I stayed for a week with my whole family, so we can visited lots of places but not all we wanted. We were able to got tickets from Mary Poppin’s theatre. It was really funny. Also, we could visit Moma’s museum and I remember that I was fastinated.

During the week, we went to Central Park and it’s awesome. I have never seen something like that. Now, I like whatching movies that were shot in New York since I can say that I stayed there so I think I’m lucky.

We stayed in apartments that were really confortable, and near from the Empire State Building too.

I have only good memories of that. It was exciting when we were packing our bags to go there and also, it was the first time that I took a plane.

In fact, I would like visit New York again, it has always been my dream, so I can say that I’m in love with New York and USA.

My last experience: bungee jumping!

Yesterday was the best day ever. I went bungee jumping for the first time ever. I was so excited when I went to met my instructor Santi at a bridge in Newzealand in Australia.

First,Santi showed me the equipment and explained to me what to do. Next,they put me the harness and I was on the edge of the bridge. I looked down at the water below me,I was at a great high. It was amazing. I was so scared. The instructor yelled "go" and I jumped with my arms open. It was a 264 metres jump. I screamed a lot but it was amazing and exhilarating.
At the end the instructor pulled me back up onto the bridge.

It was a great experience. I'm going to book myself in to do it again in a few months time. Santi said to be my first time I was very good at it.

What about visiting Rome?

Last year, by the end of the course, my mother decided to visit Rome with me. We didn't know very well if we might choose Rome or Florence but at the end Rome was awesome.

Imagine when a pair of people from the small Granada entered to one of the most beautiful city of the word. First, we were lost in the airport. Luckily, we found some Spanish people who helped us very politely. Then the underground also gave me an impression of a very crowed place.

Our accommodation was situated very close to the Vatican's church. I could almost see it from my bed!
We didn't have much time, just one week which passed very fast, but enough to visit all the famous monuments in Rome. From the Vatican's church and the city center, which was magnificent to the part that I liked the most, the Coloseum.

It was an unforgettable experience which I'll be so happy to repeat at the end of this course again.

The best 4 weeks of my life!

The best 4 weeks of my life!

Hi everyone! I was interested in leadership, politics, the environment, changing the world and just having a good time with good people, so I registered to attend the Pearson Seminar on Youth Leadership last summer! It's on the beautiful Pearson College UWC campus in Vancouver Island and I met people from all over the world, and they were literally the best people in the world I’ve ever met. It was an amazing experience, and I gained so much insight of the world. We explored issues such as gender and sustainability, and there were lots of guest workshops from amazing experts. We also did talent shows, bungee jumping, kayaking and rock climbing.

I would highly recommend anyone and everyone to go. You don't have to be a leader to attend, just go and have a good time! You will learn so much and the experiences you have will just be life. I feel that I have grown immensely as a person as a result of this program.

I attended PSYL this past summer and it was literally the best 4 weeks of my life!

A New Vision for Mobile Learning

Queridos padres:

Permitidme compartir este vídeo sobre las ventajas que el uso de dispositivos móviles supone para el aprendizaje de los adolescentes... Siempre bajo una política interna de regulación de los mismos claro. Está en inglés, pero estoy segura de que vuestros hijos os podrán resumir las ideas principales del vídeo, sobre todo aquellos padres que suelen decir lo de " yo es que soy de francés"

Espero que lo disfrutéis tanto como este puente!! :)

Sergio's Journey

My journey was very exciting, because I when to Japan and I saw some very interesting this. For example people that were wearing like a samurai.

That was in summer, and well, me and we family when to Japan, because I love this country. And finally we finished to traveling to Japan.

There was spectacular scenery, there were a lot of cherry-trees, and the mountains were very high and steep.

The sea was so calming, but during the stay there was a tsunami and it destroyed some houses near the province of Kagoshima, by luck I was in other island. Out of that the journey was very great.

I recommend to all the people, that you have to travel to Japan and to Asia, because this countries are very different to owner countries and this things, are the change that the people need, if they want know more over his world.
