Well, my best holidays was in Swansea Wells in 2021. My friend Bucket and Airbnb for eight people to celebrate the end of the second semester of our master program in Bristol. We took a bus from Bristol to Swansea and arrived at a charming Airbnb near the beach. After settling, we explored the area and found a local restaurant to hang out together. We had planned several activities at the beach, such as volleyball and jogging. Since I enjoy jogging, I decided to get up early one morning to practice. Despite the chilly weather, to my surprise, I was able to do it, which made the experience even more special. What made this trip even more memorable was the final match of Euro 2020. Every restaurant in Swansea was showing the game and we watched it with the locals. It was fascinating to see how passionate the people were about football, especially when England lost in the penalty shout-out. The locals who were surprisingly cheering for Italy celebrated their victory with great enthusiasm. They even offered free drinks to everyone. The local council declared on the following day a holiday, which was a great way to extend the celebration. Despite my friends and I rooting for England, everything was respectful and we had a lot of fun connecting with locals. It was an unforgettable holiday filled with laughter, new experience and a sense of camaraderie. Thank you for watching!
