Hello, 

The april is slowly ending, but my adventures hopefully are not. This month already at the very beginning brought me various outdoor activities, on the very first weekend I went to unrelatively challenging hike hosted by international hiking group. We with a group of people started the hike in Kačin and finished in Rača. 

This month started with a trip to Budapest with my parents that arrived at the end of the month of March for Easter s holidays.
They arrived on 30th of March. So, I prepared my self and after lunch, I took 2 autobuses for going to the airport of Bratislava to took them.

Ahoj!

April is my favorite month of the year. Spring has arrived, and the sun is beginning to set. Perhaps it's just me, but I believe that people are happier when they observe how the flowers embellish everything. During this month, I did a lot of activities, it was full of surprises and I really enjoyed it a lot. If you want to know what happened, please continue reading :)

After a month of absence Im back to tell you about my March here in Bratislava (and also in Wien).

Ahoj!

I can't believe that we are ending the month of March. It feels strange because I don't feel like I've been here for two months in Bratislava. I think the best part is that I feel at home.

Ahoj! ❤️  

It is a time for a new adventure or as INEX would say it is time to find yourself in the ocean of adventures. I arrived here in Bratislava on the 31st of January by bus from Vienna. Upon my arrival I met Barbi, our INEX coordinator, who showed me the flat, which I will be sharing with two other volunteers, Anaïs and Leonardo. At this specific moment I did not know anything about them except that one of the volunteers is from the Spain and the other one is from the Italy and so it remained a mystery until the 1st of February, when I first got to meet them. 1st of February was also my first day when I went to see a bit of city center, together with Leo. To get to the city center was quite challenging for us since we were going in circles at the very beginning in Petržalka, but when we got there, we saw the main square, men at work statue and the Blue Church. We were in another country, and everything felt new.  

Would you ever have the courage to leave your country and move for 11 months to a new country where you don't know anyone and where sometimes even language becomes an obstacle? 

I did. 

But before I tell you about the first month I spent here, let's start from the beginning. 

Hello! My name is Anaïs, I'm 30 years old, and I come from Spain. Since the 1st of February, I have been volunteering at ESC (European Solitary Corps) and have been living in Bratislava, Slovakia. But if you would like to know more about my history, please continue reading! ;) 

 

Ahoj!  

I am surprised because this month was full of surprises and moments that I could never imagine, such as meeting people, going to many places, and even starting Slovak classes.
