My 10 months project is about to end. I am happy and sad at the same time. But what can I do..time is flying, life is moving on!
It was an interesting experience. Of course there were things I didn't like and couldn't get used to, but definitely, there were a lot of positive moments.
I had time to travel and see the island, which was nice. I met many international people. I was forced to learn Italian, because very few people speak English fluently, and learned a lot about Sicilian culture.
I met many challenges, but this is actually what life in another country is about. Finally, I started loving olive oil, which I never used in cooking before. For the first time in my life, I participated in the Gay Pride and local carnival.
Speaking about volunteering in the organization (working with disabled people), it was unexpectedly easy. I think that's because everyone was really friendly and open to communication.
It was my first experience in this sphere, so I was observing a lot, trying to be caring and take it professionally. I am sure I gained some valuable skills.
10months is a long period. I got used to the city, people around, relaxing life on the island. And I have many good memories. But I am also looking for my next life adventures.
People..live, love, care and enjoy!
