was memorable · made a strong impact · unforgettable
Ever traveled somewhere that just stuck with you, long after you came home? ✨ This expression is perfect for talking about places, experiences, or even people from your travels that really touched you or changed your perspective! It means something was so significant, you won't forget it.
When would you most naturally use the expression 'left a lasting impression'? A. To describe a meal you found just 'okay'. B. To talk about a breathtaking sunset in Hawaii that you still think about. C. To mention a very short, forgettable stopover at an airport.
💡 You can use this for positive or negative experiences, though it's most common for positive ones. For example, "The bustling markets of Marrakech really left a lasting impression on me." or "That uncomfortable overnight train ride... definitely left a lasting impression, just not a good one!" 😉
