My Trip to Łódź

Mariana Obaremko 

A few days ago, I went on a trip to Łódź. I started my journey in the morning, and traveled by train for about two hours. Although it wasn’t a very long route, the train ride had its charm. I love watching the landscapes outside the window and listening to music in peace. 

The main goal of my trip was the Łódź Zoo. I spent most of the day there, and I had a truly great time. I walked along the paths, and looked at animals from different parts of the world, but I especially focused on the giraffes. They’re my favorite animals, and I was really happy to see them up close again. Their long necks and calm eyes always make me feel zoned out. I think I stood by their enclosure the longest out of all the spots in the zoo. 

When I left, I still had some time for a short walk around the city. Łódź surprised me with its atmosphere. The city has something unique about it, combining history with modernity, making the architecture quite perfect to spend time around. 

The trip was short, but very successful. It showed me that you don’t have to travel to the other side of the world to experience something valuable and interesting. Small trips like this can fill us with positive energy, give us some mental reset that we all need once in a while, and leave us with beautiful memories. For me, this trip was a great experience, and it only increased my motivation to travel in the future because it is incredibly worth it, even if just for a single day.
