TFT for Older Teens: Berlin, Krakow, Vienna and Budapest

I traveled by myself from Nairobi, Kenya, to Austria, and it took me eight and a half hours to arrive because I had to stop at Amsterdam airport with a layover of two hours. I later boarded another flight to Austria. I arrived in Austria and met a very kind TFT group counselor waiting for me at the airport. It was so amazing to see the beautiful city of Vienna. We headed to the hotel, where I met the rest of the team and started bonding. These were my fellow teens who later became my friends. They knew a lot about Kenya, where I come from, and I had a fantastic time with them. This was my second TFT travel, but I was still very excited to see what it looked like in Austria and Hungary. I tried some Austrian street food, which was delicious. It was a special time for me because it was the first time I had seen snowfall. It was icy cold, and I had to wear an oversized jacket, gloves, and boots. We explored the winter market, where I bought souvenirs for my family back home in Kenya. We also explored the old buildings and museums, which was eye-opening. Afterward, we headed back to the hotel because it was getting late. We used trains throughout Austria and Budapest; it was my first time, too. It was a time of many firsts for me, and I looked forward to traveling more with TFT.
