Emma opened her travel journal and smiled. She started writing about her recent life. She has visited fifteen countries in her life. Last year, she visited three new places. She went to Italy in March. She saw the Colosseum and ate amazing pizza. She loved Rome very much. Then she travelled to Greece in June. She walked around Athens and visited old temples. The weather was hot but beautiful. In September, she flew to Portugal. She stayed in Lisbon for one week. She tried delicious food and met friendly people. Emma has learned so much from travelling. She learned some Italian words when she visited Rome. She also learned about Greek history in Athens. Every trip taught her something new and interesting. Now Emma speaks a little Italian and Greek. She has become more confident with languages. Before her trips, she was very shy. She didn’t speak to strangers at all. But travel changed her completely. Last month, Emma started planning her next adventure. She has already booked her flight to Japan. She saved money for two years for this trip. She worked extra hours and didn’t spend much money. She has never been to Asia before. She is very excited about it. She wants to see Mount Fuji and visit Tokyo. Yesterday, Emma bought a new camera. She has taken hundreds of photos on her previous trips. Her old camera broke in Portugal last year. She dropped it on the street by accident. She felt very sad about it then. But now she has a better camera. She also bought a new backpack last week. Emma looked at her old photos again. She has changed a lot since her first trip. Five years ago, she visited Paris for the first time. She was twenty years old then. She didn’t know how to read a map. She got lost many times in the city. But she learned quickly and enjoyed herself. Now Emma has travelled alone many times. She has stayed in hostels and made friends from different countries. She has tried food she never imagined before. Travel has given her wonderful memories and great experiences. She closed her journal and felt happy. She has lived an exciting life so far.
