Have you ever traveled abroad?

I went to Belgium when I was in university. My cousin’s family lived there at that time and I stayed at their home for a week. We spent five days in Brussels and two days in Amsterdam,Netherlands. This experiences would be the trigger I started to study English seriously.

Corrections

I went to Belgium when I was in university.

This is correct. If you want more natural US English, then "when I was in college."

My cousin’s family lived there at that time and I stayed at their home for a week.

We spent five days in Brussels and two days in Amsterdam,Netherlands.

You don't need the "Netherlands" part.

Thisese experiences would bbecame the trigger I started towhich made me begin to take studying English seriously.

Thank you so much for your careful corrections.
I've been using the same expressions a lot lately, so I'll try to make them more natural little by little.

You're doing GREAT!!!!! It helps so much repeating the same thing.
When I use Japanese it helps making it easier to remember the same sentence structures repeating very similar things.

I went to Belgium when I was (still) in university.

It's not required, but "still" is often also used in sentences like this. It's just a small emphasis that you are no longer in university

My cousin’s family lived there at that/the time and I stayed at their home for a week.

We spent five days in Brussels and two days in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

This experiences would be the trigger Ifor me to started to studying English seriously.
