So when I was young, exactly in 2015, I had a trip to France. I went to France with my father, and we just liked to be together. My father and I went to France, and the trip was great. I remember I saw the Eiffel Tower, I saw Paris streets. I saw that the environment was gray, it had a gray vibe, it was so romantic. The weather there was fresh; it wasn't hot, it wasn't thermal, it was cool, and it wasn't cold either. The trip was amazing. For me now, that trip is one of my best memories I ever had, especially because France is the only country that I've visited in my entire life. So it is a great memory for me now. I wish I could go back in time and enjoy my life and be present more and more. But in the future, I am working to go there to visit it one day. I'm working right now, I'm gathering money and knowledge. Maybe I'm going to study not in France but in Italy. I'm going to go to Italy. So my plan is to go to Italy, live there or study there, and after that, take trips to France or Germany or wherever, because it is just different. Being outside of your environment, outside of your box, it is so great. It is weird. The first time it feels weird. You might be scared to take a step. But after that, you will enjoy, you will increase your awareness, you will expand your awareness and your knowledge. You can communicate with others in different languages, with foreign languages like French, Italian, or English. So it is great also to know their culture, their beliefs, their religions, and it's a great environment, especially all those things. So I wish I could go there again and spend my entire life there, or I don't know.
