Some weeks have gone since I last wrote here. It is not always easy to find the space for reflection and it is even harder to write the ideas down. Actually, until this last week, all in my mind was a bit messy and I could not put my thoughts in order; maybe if I [...]
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 [...]
Living abroad and trying new things, meeting new people is wonderful, but it is also a roller-coaster of feelings in many ways. You do not want to miss nothing that it is done and you always have will to try all the possibilities that appear in your way. I must say that I have learnt [...]

And here we go to face our last week as EVSers in Romania this year. Christmas is in the corner and our families are waiting for us at home. The snow made its first big appearence so we do not forget that winter is here to stay for a while. With it, our time for [...]
This was the last week, before Christmas because I'm going home. I will fly to Portugal, to spend time with my family and my friends who are waiting for me. Anxious to see them, for a short period of time but to tell the stories that I'm living here and all the aspects of my [...]
Baia Mare is a little city in the county of Maramures. It's very calmed and relaxed, almost like a big town. But to live here is very nice. I mean you don't have too many things to do but is a confortable place. In spanish we say "hogareño" that means the it feels like home. [...]
