Anaiis: JUNE – A month to get ready for being camp leader and going to Catalonia for a week!

 

 

Ahoj!

The month of June didn’t start too well. I was sick for a week. But maybe you know the saying “all’s well that ends well” and I think what happened this month was that. If you want to know more, please continue reading šŸ™‚

 

 

 

Leadership Academy II

So, for me, the month started with the second part of the Leadership Academy. I remember the previous days, trying to organize all that I needed for the training because an important part of this, was to simulate a workcamp, and of course, all the participants had tasks to do. In my case, I was required to present the opening event, then explain about my country in a maximum of 3 to 5 minutes and showcasing my workshop. So, I was nervous and quite tired because I didn’t feel recovered on 100%. Friday morning, I decided to take a lot of coffee for trying to survive to the trip to Banska Stiavnica. Finally, I have to say that I enjoyed all the weekend even if I felt tired, and I don’t understand why I was so worried because the training was… AMAZING and I feel I don’t have enough words to describe it. We could meet people who went to the first edition and even new people.

If I had to choose a moment, I would choose when all the participants, including the trainers, went into the Tea houseĀ called KlopackaĀ and we played different games. It was very funny!! By the way, do you know how many ducks crossed the bridge? šŸ˜‰

Here there are some moments of this training šŸ™‚

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And about my workshop: Resilience through volunteering!

 

Coming back!

And the next weekend, I flew to Barcelona! It was Francesc’s birthday and I wanted to celebrate with him. Even I could visit my family and my friends. The truth is that I didn’t haveĀ enough time to do everything I wanted to do: meet with all my friends, do some excursions with my dog, spend more time with my family and Francesc, relax… But no, when I realized it, I was again at the airport!!

During my short vacation, I learned two important things. When I returned to Tarragona, I felt strange. The language, weather, and place were familiar to me, but it felt different. When I saw my family and friends, everything seemed normal as if I had never left. And when I came back to Bratislava, I felt like I was home again but missing all my friends and family. Crazy right? I have two homes, sweet homes and my heart divided.

The other thing that I realized is that I didn’t take any picture of the week that I stayed in Catalonia!! This means I had a good time and really enjoyed it! Butā€¦ I took picture about the beach these days šŸ˜Š

P.S. My dog was angry with me and he didnā€™t want to let me to touch himā€¦ Do you think that he will forgive me? I donā€™t think so!

 

Thank you so much for reading my entry! In the next blog post, I will explain about my experiences being camp leader šŸ˜Š Donā€™t miss it!

Ciao šŸ™‚
