Danish Student in Handlova, Slovakia 2017

A greeting to my host from

Christina Ploug Hansen

It has been such a nice week. I have experienced so many new things. Slovakia might not be the country I had thought I would be visiting, but now I am happy that I have had the opportunity to visit such an exciting country as Slovakia. First I want to say a “thank you” to my host, Dominika. I am blessed for having had the opportunity to know her. From the first step, I took into her apartment, it felt like home. She was very attentive and asked me many times if I wanted something or if I was okay.

I think the day on the farm was so much fun. I rode on a tall horse, even though I am a bit scared of horses. I held a lamb in my arms. It was a cute little lamb. We also got to experience how the Slovakians make cheese. I know that they love cheese, so of course it was part of the schedule. We have also seen the very beautiful country side in Slovakia -the high mountains and hills. It is not something we are used to in Denmark. I am happy that I have some new friends from Slovakia now. I am definitely going to visit their country and my host again. I miss them and it already.

Hello Vickie! A greeting from

Signe Skou Terp

I just wanna say thank you very much for such a nice week. Your family is lovely, and you made me feel welcome. Before we arrived in Slovakia, we didn’t really know what to expect. But whatever expectations we might have had, you guys managed to exceed them all. Your nature is beautiful, and you were all so kind to us. If we had problems paying for our food at a restaurant, one of you would come up and help us translate before we even asked.

We saw many beautiful castles,

and I had a lot of fun when we were visiting the farm in the mountains. The sheep were so sweet, and it was a very idyllic place. The zoo in Bojnice was a very nice as well, even though we could not see all the animals.

I really enjoyed my stay, and I hope to return again soon!
