  1. France (born in it)
  2. Germany: (grandparents live next door on the border. I have great memories of tasty sausages and cool public playgrounds from my youth)
  3. Germany: (again) as an exchange student in middle school. I still have a seering memory that I didn't even know what my home region name was in German (Lorraine = Löthringen)
  4. Luxemburg: dad was a smoker, cigarettes were cheap there, end of story?
  5. UK: went three time, in middle school, high school and with family. Best time was in high school when I boarded at this Elvis double's. We always listened to great music and he made pancakes EVERY morning ❤️
  6. Denmark: exchange student in high school. It's a beatiful country with great history. Too bad that my pen pal/exchange student and I were both timid :[
  7. Catalogna, Spain: with friends. Lasting memory is that I took some pleasure swimming again there. Wasn't my thing since PE teacher said to my face I could'nt swim… 😬

Looking back, I'm quite privileged 😅

Catalogna, Spain:

I think that one was supposed to be Catalonia (or Catalunya or Cataluña), the gn as ni is an Italian thing, it's not like that in Spanish nor in Catalan.

I believe its catalogne in French.

You got me! It was my inner french that seeped into my english 😄

[–] Nibodhika@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Ah, didn't knew that french also did the gn as ni, that makes a bit more sense, I found it weird that a French person was using an Italian phonem when writing English and was wondering if maybe there was a place with a similar name but google didn't seemed to think so.
