This is not a job, nor studies. This is non-formal education. Setting up your own working space and adjusting the temp and competences to your personal goals and initiatives. It’s the perfect environment for self development and skills to grow. We are learning not so much about about the place and organization as about ourselves.<\/p>\n
Could it be any better? You’re thrown into another country with an opportunity to learn how to learn.<\/p>\n
Second week is almost done. I’m used to this place. I can start to call it home.<\/p>\n
Also participating in a small festival by the beginning of the project is giving experience. It opens up your creative side and keep you up to date.<\/p>\n
Today I took my lunch which I’ve prepared in the previous evening, took my cameras and made some fruit water. I’m set to go. 7am and we are hitting the road from Ljubljana to Tolmin.<\/p>\n
The place is amazng! Mountains on every direction, fresh air and it feels like you’re on the top of the world.<\/p>\n

Yesterday was the first time of going out. Of course we went to Metelkova, is there other places? Impression was 6 out of 10. Not a lot of people. Though I did met some familiar faces and did engage in conversations with strangers, wihch put me out of my comfort zone a bit. So mission completed, I guess.<\/p>\n
Next morning I finally pushed myself into doing exercise and it felt so good. It’s the middle of autumn, but I can still go running in outfit as it would be summer. (I hate running, but again – putting yourself out of your comfort zone can help you).<\/p>\n
Just spend the most amazing week by the Adriatic sea during on-arrival training for my volunteering year. Met some interesting people with whom I have already started to cooperate in one personal project. It will be a promo video for all our sceptical relatives and friends who does not believe that volunteering is someting useful.<\/p>\n
For now it’s in the process, but with the time it should turn into something remarkable.<\/p>\n

The fifth week has begun. Seems like it’s been only a week here. Starting to realize my goals.<\/p>\n
This is the environment for growth. Dare to open up,\u00a0 to talk and to share your ideas. It’s important that you engage with other in similar situations because by talking and sharing you can find the right path or answer for you.<\/p>\n
Sometimes it takes a lot of courage but it can give a lot more in return.<\/p>\n
Also hitchhiking to Trieste, Italy in one afternoon just to eat a gelato is something you CAN DO.<\/p>\n
