Put the verbs in brackets into the Present Perfect or Past Simple. Ann Jones is one of the most interesting people I have ever met: she is only twenty-five, but she travelled to over fifty different countries. Five years ago, she was a typist in Birmingham, but she decided to give up her job and see the world. Since then, her life has changed completely. The first time she went abroad was seven years ago, when she was just eighteen. She took a boat to France and then hitch-hiked around Europe for five weeks. She has visited Europe many times since that first trip, of course, but this holiday was the one which made her start travelling. She has never forgotten the excitement of those five weeks – although it was not all enjoyable. When she was on a train, somebody stole her purse: she lost all her money, and had to work in a restaurant for a fortnight. She made some good friends there, however, and returned several times since then. How did she find the money for her travels? After her first trip abroad, she went home and worked for two years, saving all the time. Now she travels continually, finding work when her money gets low. She has made a lot of friends, she says, and learned quite a few languages. Although she has had occasional difficulties and has often been sick, she never thinks about giving up her travels. “The first time I went abroad changed my life”, she says, “and I have wanted to travel ever since.
