This is my life now

It’s been four months since I arrived to Romania, a lot of things happened, a lot of things changed. In myself, in my project.

As I increased my stay in the EVS while my roommates finished their project two months ago, suddenly was like starting again, new house, new roommates, new schedule…It wasn’t easy, I felt that I wasn´t home and then I was even further from home, it was like getting out from your comfort zone and then increase it even more. But from the beginning, I got used to it. I meet new people and had a lot of adventures and misadventures. Sometimes I try to imagine how had been my life if I just decided to go back home when my previous roommates did it too, but I think, I wouldn´t had learnt so much, almost nothing. Cause the beginning its excitement for a new country & new culture, but after two months, it becomes to be your life, not a short dream, you experience it very different, you have also daily routine and slow down to appreciate also the small things that are surrounding you.
