My volunteering experience

I first found out about the European Solidarity Corps in a youth center back home. There I met volunteers from different countries and I got excited about the possibility of spending time abroad as a volunteer. After some time I decided to do it and later I found my opportunity to go to Finland for 9 weeks.
I was really excited but also a little scared. I did not know what to expect and that made me nervous, but when I came there that fear went away instantly. Everyone welcomed me with open arms and I knew that I came to the right place.

In the time that I spent there, a lot was going on. I met a lot of new wonderful people, saw some of the country, traveled to other countries nearby and learned a lot of new things. Time went by very fast and when I got back home it almost felt like no time had passed at all.

I am very glad that I had this experience. It was something that I was very curious about and I am happy that I did it. I got a new perspective on my life by getting a little distance and changing my routine. I also got a better understanding of what I want to do and what I want my life to look like.

I would recommend this experience to everyone who is even a little bit tempted to do something like this. It really is a wonderful experience to have.
