My EVS in Romania

I had two Christmas this year: a Romanian one with the office and volunteers, and a Belgian one with my family! There isn't much to tell! We went to Napoli, our favorite restaurant, with all the volunteers and office people! We previously picked the names to do a secret Santa : I picked Mustafa and offered him a coffee cup from Macedonia and a pair of fancy socks (to survive during winter)! Mohammed picked me, and I received a candle and ... BELGIAN chocolate truffes 😍! In Belgium, I spent my time with my family, and my wonderful boyfriend 💕 Christmas fireworks in my little Belgian village! I visited Pairi Daiza (beautiful during christmas time, full of lights!), Liège, Bruxelles, Namur, Charleroi and I finally took the plane back to Budapest to spend the New year's Eve in the Hungarian capital!  Our plane had a delay (such a surprise!) and we really thought we will celebrate New Year in the Airport! We finally spent it in the bus hahaha, from ...

Beginning of December, the manager of the association (Daniel) proposed me to assist a training course about Human rights in Macedonia. I begged him during an entire week to take my flatmates with me, first because we are all interested in the topic and second cause it was our last time all together! He finally accepted, and we (Mustafa, Carolina, Büsra & I) all jumped in Daniel's car for a long trip to Kratovo! The training was interesting, all the topics were really well explained in a formal way, and the practice was done in a non-formal way : perfect combination for me! We stayed in a Hotel in Kratovo, the end of the world, according to Nazis back in the war time! I quite agree with them! We also had a free day to visit the capital Skopje, and of couuuuurse the first stop was to eat Burek and drink Turkish tea! I don't have pictures about the training itself (well, I was listening and working you know!) I just have a last one, to show you how muc...

In the beginning of July,  we volunteered in a Festival on the top of the City! We basically had to collect the trash, which is a good way not to pay the entrance 😏 The weather was really nice (once again to hot for the western European girl I am!) Anyway, we spent 3 days sunbathing on the hill with a wonderful view! We saw many artists and the one I'll remember is the concert of Emir Kusturica and the non-smoking orchestra! It was the last evening, and it was raining ⛈ like a never saw it here in Romania, they almost cancelled the end of the festival but we didn't care about the rain, we used big plastic trash bags to protect ourselves from the and danced all night long! Here is me, having fun like a kid!  And here is a picture I totally forgot about, and I'm sure my Coordinator Lilla too 😄
