ESC - My Unique Travel Destinations

Today’s session of the Gabfest club at Window on America center Dnipropetrovsk was dedicated to the topic “My Unique Travel Destinations”.
The topic was a logical choice after the season of summer holidays when some of the club members turned up suntanned and full of new experiences.
To start the ball rolling the Clubs moderator Tamara presented to the group a new image and book display. The books represented the WOA’s collection of travel guides about unique places in the USA – from landmarks and national parks to dozens of other attractions worth a visit. The images represented the unique destination visited by Tamara – the Faroe Islands. 



National Geographic Traveler has voted the Faroe Islands the best islands destination in the world in a survey of 111 island communities. The Faroe Islands were on top of the list and were given the verdict “Authentic, unspoilt and likely to remain so” being the only destination to score so high. We have watched the promotional video about the Faroe Islands and defined the uniqueness of the archipelago.
A pattern was set for the club members’ stories about their visits to unique destinations.  Some stories were about unique places in Ukraine – like relic oak woods in Dnipropetrovsk oblast, peaceful dolphin beaches next to busy ports in Odessa oblast, beautiful harbors of the Crimea and ski resorts in Ukrainian Carpathian Mountains. Some stories were about European destinations - Polar circle Russia, Italy, Switzerland, Georgia and Israel. But most striking were the stories about exotic countries – ranging from Morocco and Unites Arab Emirates to Vietnam and Thailand.
All club members managed to define the uniqueness of the places they visited and to describe them in plausible English.
Number of participants – 19 persons.
