The last time I went abroad was in 2014. I flyed to Cabo Verde, a country in the West of Africa. It is a combination of islands. First, I visited Sal, a very small island. There was nothing to do. Tourist attractions are different there -it's all about Nature. I relaxed at the beach where I swum a lot. There were sharks around and this maked my baths very short. I walked around this small island and I sawed everything in two days. Next, I went to Boa Vista, which is a more touristy place. It was on this island where I spook some English. Most of the people there speak Portuguese so I didn't understood many of their conversations. The weather, however, was superb. I ware swimming suits everyday. Finally, I buyed some souvenirs for my family and I written a postcard to my teacher, who tauhgt me the importance of traveling around the world in order to enrich yourself. |
