We keep thinking that we are special souls that are living a unique experience. That what we do, what we achieve, what we want out of it is above any previous volunteer's expectations and reality. The EVS makes your feelings stronger, deeper and, therefore, more harmful sometimes. That's why an adventure like this is full [...]
