Ski Week 2019

71 Rotary youth exchange students spent a week from February 10 to 16, 2019 in the Tatras in Slovakia skiing and snowboarding. Even beginner skiers could pick up the skills easily.

The atmosphere was great mainly due to the weather which was perfect all week long. From beginners to advanced skiers and snowboarders, everyone could find a suitable slope. The third day of a sports week should always be a day off, so the students were taken to AquaCity in Poprad. In the evening we enjoyed some fun activities together and everyone was excited about the snowmen contest which was carried out.

This year was exceptional mainly due to the fact that all the students tried really hard and learned to ski and snowboard very well and NOBODY was hurt! The skiing and snowboarding competition in the end of the week was a great success!

2240 Reunited ~ The End of a Journey

And finally, thank you Slovakia– Slovensko— Slovenská Republika. You are the epitome of a hidden gem in this world, and a perfect example of how some of the best people and places can be found where most would never expect. You are a tiny country with a massive heart, one which I’ve now added my own to. From your stunning mountains, you gorgeous cliffsides, to your rolling Moravian plains and ancient cities and villages, to your long and unique history and deep-rooted culture (and your perhaps a tad over-complicated, but genuinely beautiful language). It was an absolute joy discovering all of it, and I’m so grateful to be able to come out of my exchange calling myself a Slovak-Canadian. I will always be proud to say the first country I ever went to outside of Canada was Slovakia, my land of discovery, my second home, my own hidden gem. Slovensko, milujem ťa, a už mi chybáš ❤️...
