After reaching the four weeks of my stay in the Nordic lands that warmed so much my heart, it’s a huge thrill to remember all the moments spent here!
The best thing of this experience was definitely having the opportunity to be involved with a Youth Exchange project. Globala Kronoberg received five groups of young people from five different countries (Armenia, Spain, Hungary, Cyprus and Sweden). It was wonderful to be able to contribute with a bit of me in order for all the participants to have a good time in this adventure!During the week, the most amazing was the spirit of team work! I was in the organization but I felt as if I was part of the participants group. I had as much fun (or even more!) as the participants had. Yes .. I had the opportunity to participate in all activities I wanted, what can I ask more ?! A full day tour by canoe for one of the many thousand lakes existing here, landscapes that I wish I could take to Portugal … Not even a photo can portray the existing beauty here!
Sorry but I can not call it I’m living volunteer!
During the week we lived intensely all times provided by this adventure. The organizers mingled with the participants and formed a team of 35 people. After a few conversations, smiles, laughter, confidences, dances, music, freedom to know and let know … People bonded!
I personally remember all the moments with a big heart and with much pride! It ios great to end my adventure like this.
I heard in Spanish ”Carla usted es el mejor”, in English ”Carla you are the best” in cypriot … Well I … I have no words to describe this, you have to experience!
With this I know I gave my best … I gave myself entirely!
Who gives something … gets always something back!
