Farming in Anina

Our new Volunteering activity involves going to Anina weekly and learning how a small food business works in a lovely little farm. So far we experienced working on the soil and helping out with the preparation and packaging of the vegetables, which was pretty fun!

Camping trip

The end of quarantine came with a camping night on the hills!

Quarantine

April, a full month in quarantine... I’ve been appreciating a lot more the view and all the sunsets from my bedroom window.

Trip to Carașova

March was a lovely month! It was my 19th birthday on 3rd, which I spent in the great company of my new international friends. Later this month, right before the beginning of Covid-19 pandemic and respective quarantined, we went on a day trip to Carașova and had a very peaceful blissful time! :)

Trip to Italy

Venice - Florence - Bologna 🇮🇹

On-Arrival Training and the beauty of Romania

The new year is here! January was an amazing month, full of new places, experiences and friends. I went to Bucharest, the capital of this beautiful country where I met a lot more international volunteers and discovered some great places. Back to my town, Resita, I was happy to, once again, see snow and beautiful landscapes. Couldn’t ask for a better way to start 2020. :)

Non-formal education activities with children

My EVS project consists in non-formal education activities with mostly children and teenagers. I’ve already found a new passion which is working with kindergarten kids! Even thought it’s hard to communicate because of their mother tongue being Romanian, they’re excited about having foreign volunteers interacting with them. From dancing and singing, to arts and crafts or even energizing games, spending time with children always puts a smile on my face :)

Team Building in Coronini

From 31st of October to 3rd of November, the volunteers and coordinators from the Asociation I’m working in,  went to Coronini for a team building. It was one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen! I loved getting to know everyone and making new friends, after this I felt ready to start my Gap Year doing volunteering work in Romania!
