An Unexpected Journey - Hungary

The airport was still empty and silent that morning when I wandered through security, ready to face the big adventure of flying to Budapest and then continuing to Pécs on my own. I sat down with my latest version of ELLE magazine, nervous and excited to leave for Hungary.

The trip to Hungary was not chosen by me as I’m part of an International Project at school. You get to make a wish list of three countries among five and get to go to one of them. 12 were picked to go to Hungary and for most of us it was the 3^rd wish. We wanted to go to Italy and Slovenia and Spain.
    But then in February the Hungarians arrived here and stayed with us for a week and we had so much fun! It was snow everywhere and we took them skiing and had snowball fights and went to Oslo shopping… We were so glad we had been chosen to go to Hungary as they were the most fun people ever.

So this journey will be different in so many ways. I’m staying at someone’s house, going to their school and experiencing all with 12 of my friends and 2 teachers. “Flight something something to Budapest at superearly in the morning is now ready for boarding. Please…” The flight was not what worried me. I’ve done that many times before. But I’ve never been to Budapest. So wish me luck.                                                       -Mari Clémentine
