I usually spend my holidays camping in a scout camp, where I have learned various skills of how to survive in nature and as now I’m of age I can pass them on to younger participants of our scout camp. I like helping people and doing certain jobs for them therefore I find my work in a scout camp quite interesting and awarding. During the year I help collecting money, I help people by performing certain jobs for them and as a kind of reward for my charity work I’ll visit UK and will spend a fortnight with ten children and two adults there. So as you can see I don’t spend holidays with my family, only those, so called one-day holidays I spend with them.

I like spending holidays in the countryside because of all the possibilities it offers. I can say I admire the simplicity of the country life, especially their nice, dark and deep forests, many times not walked paths, hiding and protecting all the secrets of the past from an accidental intruder. I feel completely relaxed in the forest and I like helping my scouts discover the vital things needed for their survival. I enjoy experiencing the peace of the countryside. Although our camp is located near the Baltic I don’t like swimming in the sea, as I find it too cold and therefore not interesting for me. When in the countryside I feel great and I don’t miss anything my place abounds in, especially not noisy discos, as I don’t like discos for completely personal reasons.

I would be delighted to go to be able to discover the beauties of Slovenia, especially its countryside. What attracts me there is the possibility of spending holidays on the farm. What I need right now is to get over my pain because of the loss of my dearest person and I think hard work can help me, therefore I’d like to visit the countryside and spend my vacations on farms. There I would like to help the farmers at their hard work. As a strong boy I’d be able to carry out the hardest tasks required on a farm. Also high Slovenian peaks attract me and as I have never climbed a rocky mountain wall I’d like to try it as well.

As the United Europe is no longer something unreachable for us, the Poles, I’d also like to know other nations on our continent better. What interests me most, is the way other people live, work and enjoy themselves. I’d like to learn Slovenian language because for understanding someone’s habits the knowledge of the language seems quite important. I think that by knowing more you also have better chances to get a good job and as lot of things should be changed in Poland I would like to enlarge my knowledge to be able to be an active participant in these changes.

I usually spend my holidays with my parents. We go to the mountains and enjoy the fresh air walking there. Very often we go horse riding. What I enjoy most is swimming in mountain lakes after having descended a mountain peak and then having a nice, long-lasting rest after an exhausting day.

Sometimes I also go camping with my friends in a scout camp, like this time. I like it because I’m having a nice time with my friends here, in the camp at the Baltic coast. I enjoy sunbathing and swimming, as the weather is extremely nice and hot for this time of the year. We spend our evenings playing all sorts of ball games, we also go to the disco. I’ve also learned a lot of new songs as our evenings are spent singing songs as well. I like it here, in the countryside, and I’ll come again.

As I’ve already said, I like spending vacations in the countryside because the weather in the countryside is always nicer than in my town, the air is fresher and I find the country food extremely delicious. I’m also very keen on swimming. The Baltic has beautiful sandy beaches, and walking barefoot on the sand makes me happy. What I enjoy most is the company of my friends and other campers. Also locals are very friendly people. I enjoy meeting them and talking about different things. It is so interesting when they talk about their life and their past. I also like mountaineering and skiing.

Wherever I go I miss either my parents or my friends. As I’m not a very adaptable person I miss the comfort of house, my bed, my computer, etc. To be honest I miss my computer a lot because I’m used to chatting on the Internet with my friends. But always being in a good company I soon forget about all the mishaps and I enjoy staying in the countryside.

I would be very pleased if my parents took me to Slovenia. I’ve heard a lot about its beauty and the friendliness of the people there. I’ve got to admit that I’d like to go there by plane as it’s always been challenging to me, although I’ve always been a bit frightened of it. It’s true I haven’t had the luck of having that kind of experience yet.

I’d like to visit different places in Slovenia but most of all I’d like to experience the farm tourism, especially in hilly and mountainous regions. As I like riding horses I would like to try pony trekking in Slovenia and also hills and mountains attract us to Slovenia. It would also be nice to try warm water of Slovenia spas and to relax there after tiresome and hard work at school. As I’ve heard Slovenia was settled already in Roman times so it would be nice to pop in their museums and art galleries to get to know their culture and customs more in detail. As I like sightseeing and travelling I would like to visit the entire country because it offers various scenery.
