Ahoj! ❤️
It is a time for a new adventure or as INEX would say it is time to find yourself in the ocean of adventures. I arrived here in Bratislava on the 31st of January by bus from Vienna. Upon my arrival I met Barbi, our INEX coordinator, who showed me the flat, which I will be sharing with two other volunteers, Anaïs and Leonardo. At this specific moment I did not know anything about them except that one of the volunteers is from the Spain and the other one is from the Italy and so it remained a mystery until the 1st of February, when I first got to meet them. 1st of February was also my first day when I went to see a bit of city center, together with Leo. To get to the city center was quite challenging for us since we were going in circles at the very beginning in Petržalka, but when we got there, we saw the main square, men at work statue and the Blue Church. We were in another country, and everything felt new.Would you ever have the courage to leave your country and move for 11 months to a new country where you don't know anyone and where sometimes even language becomes an obstacle?
I did.
But before I tell you about the first month I spent here, let's start from the beginning.
Hello! My name is Anaïs, I'm 30 years old, and I come from Spain. Since the 1st of February, I have been volunteering at ESC (European Solitary Corps) and have been living in Bratislava, Slovakia. But if you would like to know more about my history, please continue reading! ;)
Ahoj!
I am surprised because this month was full of surprises and moments that I could never imagine, such as meeting people, going to many places, and even starting Slovak classes.
Ahojte!
The last 2 months were fuuuull of activities! The busiest summer of my life so far… but also the most fulfilling and nourishing that I’ve ever had.
In this article, I share with you my experience of 3 workcamps in a row and my feelings afterwards!
Ahojte!
In this article, I share with you my last activities with INEX, how I feel about my departure and it's also the time for the final goodbye. :-)
Ahojte!
It's already November review time... The month went by really quickly, right? I feel like it only lasted one week!
Which is not really nice for me, because it means that my leaving is getting closer and closer :-( In two weeks I will be in France!
But I still have a lot to say in this article, sooo enjoy it!! :-)
