When you are confused about yourself and life a way of escape always exists. People run away for different reasons. From different things – may be bad work, bad luck, fears, from yourself, because of love or the lag of love. Always it’s easier to run away and create the illusion of your fake reality.

I travel away for half a month in Eforie Nord, Romania in Europe. This was my temporary escape from the current reality. I spend 14 amazing days with strangers who became my friends.

I have participated in Erasmus Plus Youth Exchange in Eforie Nord (Romania). The subject was Entrepreneurship. So excited!

All people there were simply amazing! We were from 6 different European countries. We participated actively in the Project and it took a lot of energy to be creative every day.

We had time to discover the nice beaches in Eforie Nord, to listen to The Black sea Autumn song and to relax.

This is not my first time participating in Erasmus Plus Youth Exchanges.

To be a part of this kind of Youth interactions you need to be from Europe and to apply for a specific project. You have to apply on a national level and a national foundation will support you before, during and after the Youth Exchange. It is great opportunity to travel when you are young and have no money because the program Erasmus Plus covers the flights, the hotel, and the food. Most of the times you only need pocket money.

I have learned so much from this project! We created, developed and presented new business ideas. There were a competition and a real battle among us.

I met incredible people and it was a party all nights long. I still keep a picture of some of my friends from Eforie Nord in my pocket.

Something beautiful happened on this Exchange. With some of the participants, we build a strong relationship like we know each other from a long time ago, even if we met some days ago. We have cried together and laughed together, and the goodbye was hard.

We have the best facilitator there –Radu.

I have learnt many useful skills and I was back in home with a taste of bitterness from our saying goodbye.

One of the nights we had a game. We were separated by teams. Every team was given a role.

My team in the picture below – We are Spice Girls!

This traveling for me started as an escape from my world for a while because I was bored. I believed this will help. But the truth is no matter where you are, you are happy as much as you feel happy in your heart. The most important thing is to be happy HERE and NOW.

 

PS: Many thanks to Radu and Robert, this is the best Erasmus Plus project from my 15 Projects experience!
