There are just so many things that I have discovered and enjoyed

| Aktualno

As my departure is approaching I’m trying to take everything with me, to keep all these moments deep inside me.
I remember how scary it was to jump in the unknown. It was going to another country alone, not really knowing what I would discover and live, not knowing who I would meet.
I had so many fears but at the same time I was just really excited.

 

Now that this is coming to an end, there are just so many things that I have discovered and enjoyed. I feel like in two months I have experienced so much.

This volunteering was full of discoveries: the places, the landscapes, a beautiful country! The hobbies they enjoy most like hiking and the fact that they are using Slovenian hiking trail booklets with stamps for every hike, the specific food they eat, the traditions they have, the values they share. It opened my mind to the world and allowed me to pay more attention to the life around me.
It was also a discovery about living with someone else, a scary discovery which turned out to be a great experience because I actually loved it!

It was an adventure full of learning too with learning about the world, learning about others, learning languages. Being excited to discover slovene and trying my best to improve my english by speaking, writing and finding vocabulary everywhere I could. I have been reminded of the importance of taking part in civic and social life while participating in a hike with disabled people and taking part in a vote counting. It was also learning about myself, I felt like I could see myself in a different way, take time to understand what I felt, and take a step back on myself. It allowed me to gain independence and build more confidence.
It’s the moment to discover new passions too and this experience really helped me develop creativity and enjoy it.

I won’t forget about the great meetings, first with all the Nefiks Team who helped us discover, learn, and enjoy more and more! They were always here to propose activities to enjoy our stay, to take us on new experiences, to help us with our ideas, to build and create. And then with other volunteers, especially Emma, my roomate because it is incredible to share this experience this way. I shared everything and enjoyed every moment with her.
We met a lot of other volunteers too who enriched our experience with all their personalities!
Everyone in this adventure helped me grow and discover.

I had an experience full of feelings, indeed I have felt scared and excited, happy and sad, overwhelmed and calm. I have loved the ones around me and I will keep all these feelings and memories with me.
This experience gave me motivation to experiment more, to learn more, to discover everything I can.
Finally, I am especially happy I have dared and so thankful that I have been surrounded by people who made me feel safe and helped me really enjoy this first experience.
