12.1.-.14.1.2018 usporiadal Dištriktný výbor Výmeny mládeže zimný meeting pre slovenských inboundov v Poprade. Po príchode do hotela sme sa ubytovali a išli sme na večeru. Večer bol venovaný testovaniu – test pozostával z písomnej časti, počúvania s porozumením a ústnej časti.
V sobotu nasledoval hlavný bod programu, kedže nám veľmi nevyšlo počasie, tak sa nám zmenili plány. Išli sme iba na prechádzku okolo Štrbského plesa, ktorú si študenti veľmi užili, pretože bolo veľa snehu. Po obede v Spišskej Sobote, sme mali prehliadku spolu s výkladom o histórii tejto krásnej časti Popradu. Od obeda až do večera sme čas strávili v Aquacity Poprad, ktorý študentov poriadne unavil.
Druhý večer bol sústredený na Talent Show. Rozdelii sme sa do skupín podľa krajín a začali sme so študentami vymýšľať predstavenia ktoré predvedú na dištrikčnej konferencii v máji. Takisto sme so študentmi začali cvičiť slovenskú pesničku ktorú si vybrali – Hej Sokoly (Kandráčovci), ktorá je tiež súčasťou programu na konferencii. Po nacvičovaní boli študenti takí vyčerpaní že nás sami prosili o to aby konečne mohli ísť do postele. Bolo na nich vidno, že si meeting naozaj užili.

Catching up – Part 2
As a general rule, I haven’t said no to any activities recently (except for time reasons, of course), and this has paid off in several ways. I’ve experienced many wonderful moments that I won’t be forgetting any time soon and found a new hobby.
Skiweek 2024: Building Friendships on the Slopes
In the heart of the beautiful, snow-covered High Tatras, at the Tatranská Lomnica ski resort, an extraordinary meeting for exchange students took place from February 25th to March 2nd, 2024. This skiing training organized by Rotary District 2240 was supevised by Rotarian Ondrej Kollár, with the assistance of three former exchange students – Rotex members. It was attended by 34 exchange students from various corners of the world, spending their exchange period in our district.
Winter Meeting in Třebíč
On January 26th, 6 exchange students and I left the Ostrava-Svinov train station towards Třebíc, a small city but full of history. We left in the early afternoon and went to Brno, our connection. The trip to Brno was wonderful, it was a peaceful 2 hours and very well spent.
The Třebič super meeting
The next day though, was amazing. We went out, visited a few places in the city, then we went bowling, which was super fun, and hilarious, specially because of the fact that I got 11 points in total, probably being the worst out of all exchange students🤩. But we played and laughed a lot and it was super fun.
Winter Třebíč
I really loved this day, the atmosphere was always great! Whether it was at the bowling alley, at the show, or even between the streets of the city, everyone was cheering, singing, dancing, laughing It was really incredible! To conclude, it was a great weekend, and I can’t wait to see them all again in March during our ski week!
SKI WEEK 2020
It’s hard to believe that we are already about 7 months into our exchange year. But with the months progressing comes more rotary trips. And that includes Ski Week! Inbounds from across the district traveled to Ždiar, High Tatras in Slovakia for a week of skiing and fun. Overall, I have to say, this was definitely the best Rotary event I have experienced so far. I had an amazing time spending time and catching up with my friends and skiing with them. Even though it was cut a bit short, it was an unforgettable experience...
Winter Orientation
Thanksgiving was my first major holiday away from home and I wanted to do something for it. I also saw it as an opportunity to give my host family a new experience. The best way I could do this was to make a Thanksgiving dinner. When I proposed the idea to my host parents they said that it was a great idea. The whole experience was amazing and crazy. We did something that very few people if any have ever done for Thanksgiving...

Winter meeting in Poprad – Tatras
The next day, we took a train up to Štrbské Pleso and hiked for about two hours before we reached our first spot. On the way, we saw beautiful views of the mountains and the ski slopes off to the side. At our first pit stop, we took lots of pictures and enjoyed the view of the frozen lake....
