My cultural walk through turkish friendliness and balkan unknown stories - in 27 days

a trip by Ameltravel
From: May 25th 2015
Until: June 20th 2015

After finishing high school, I was lucky to spend 7 weeks in the city of Oxford, UK. I started flying for Helvetic Airways the following september for 15 months before getting up in the moutains in Engelberg, central Switzerland, where I worked in the Angels Lodge as Breakfast and Reception coordinator. The past five months were full of new experiences like travelling and volunteering for EXPO Milan or The international folklore festival (Fribourg, Switzerland). I have just started two weeks ago to study at the High school of Managment and tourism.

Working on english class project at the School of managment and tourism in Valais, Switzerland, I have decided to put into words the stunning experience of the trip I went on last May & June with my boyfriend. We had the pleasure to discover bits of Turkey, Montenegro and Bosnia-Herzegovine, starting in Istanbul.

Once a week, starting this coming week, I will tell you about a day experience of this beautiful trip.



If you are interested on further details or recommendations about a specific location, I would be very happy to help you. Don't hesitate to send me an e-mail: amelie.Baechler@gmail.com



(of course, do not hesitate to correct my English, as the main purpose of this blog is to improve my writing skills in english.)
