My first trip abroadMy first trip abroad was to Poland, to visit my sister. It was so exciting—new city, new country, and I was finally going to see her after such a long time. I really liked the country—a lot of cozy streets, cute cafés, and that special European vibe you feel everywhere.One day, my sister asked me to go to the store to get a cake for tea while she was making dinner. The store was literally around the corner, and I remembered the way there perfectly. I confidently went to get the treat, already imagining how I’d come back with the cake and we’d enjoy the evening together. But as soon as I left the store, I had this strange feeling. All the houses around looked exactly the same! It felt like déjà vu—everything seemed familiar, but I couldn’t remember the way back.I stood there for a few minutes, looking around, not sure where to go. There were no familiar turns, and I had no clue what to do, except trust my intuition. "It can’t get any worse," I thought and started walking, trying to remember some landmarks. But even when I got to a building, I didn’t remember the apartment number or the floor.At first, I just stood by the entrance, thinking what to do next. Which building, which floor? What if I was wrong? Then, as if by magic, someone came out of the building! The door stayed open, and I managed to get inside. I still wasn’t sure if it was the right place. I stood there, afraid to knock on what seemed like a familiar door, worried that someone else might open it.But, as if she sensed I was there, my sister opened the door, smiling. She immediately understood I got lost but tried not to laugh. "So, you didn’t forget the way, huh?" she joked as I handed her the cake. I still remember how funny and a little scary it was, but everything turned out fine in the end.After that, I learned that even when you’re lost, trust your gut and don’t be afraid to take a step forward. Sometimes the answers come when you least expect them. And maybe the door you’re scared to open is exactly the one you need.
