When I first arrived in Krakow, I didn’t know what crossed my path, but looking back today, I can see that I\u2019ve completed the most unforgettable and wonderful period of my life. This city embraced me so deeply with its culture, its streets, and most importantly, its people, that i\u2019m still surprised by how much I could fall in love with a country and its people; I feel incredibly lucky to have been here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Especially the wonderful teachers, assistants, and children I met at the school hold a truly unique place in my heart; taking care of them and understanding their world gave me an indescribable experience and made me feel so fulfilled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, during this journey, I didn’t just meet amazing people; I also had the chance to visit and explore other countries. I never imagined I would feel this sad leaving a place behind in my life, but it means I\u2019ve left truly beautiful footprints here. I am leaving with unforgettable memories in my pocket. I would like to express my endless gratitude to this beautiful country, its culture, everyone who opened their doors to me, and all those wonderful people who touched my life. I leave with great friendships, unforgettable memories, and a suitcase packed with love. But this is not an end. I will definitely come back here. Goodbye for now, Krakow, thank you for everything!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
