One of the best aspects of studying internationally at a foreign university is the opportunity to experience the diversity of cultures around the world. A fun way to enjoy such unique parts of a culture is to celebrate a country’s holidays with locals which is what I did last Easter. I traveled to a Hungarian friend’s family home in Szarvas, a small Hungarian town of around 17,000 inhabitants.

The idea of moving to a new country to pursue my dreams was very exciting and I was eagerly looking forward to how this new adventure would unfold. To be honest, the fact that I was going to be thousands of miles away from my lovely family and friends was somewhat scary but I was still so ready to start this fresh chapter of my life.
