Vita sene libertate nihil
I like when life goes randomly and unexpectable. As for me such approach brings bright colours in your life and don’t let you to become bored after the same usual events or activities. That’s happened with me last summer while I was surfing the Internet and found info about Erasmus+ project. I had already had few info about this organization, so I decided to apply for the project in my native country –Ukraine. After filling application in 10 mins, I absolutely forgot about it. But in some days I received a call – yes, I am accepted, I need to make some preparations, bla bla bla… Guess, this was the moment when my life started to change rapidly.
It would not be honest to start my EVS blog without reference to “Peaceful puzzle of Ukraine” – 10 days project in Lviv region. During it I become very interested and highly motivated to take part in E+ activities – especially taking part in volunteer program. After returning back home, I started to process European Commission website, writing huge amount of letters to every NGO which was able to host volunteers (I have just checked – up to 500 letters). It lasted for 3 or 4 months and I did not found something suitable for me. I was invited to take part in organic farm at Finland, diving center at Greece or common NGO in Morocco. But I wanted to take part in some big European city so I refused all offerings and continued my search. And one day I found nice possibility in Stockholm. In some days after sending my application form I was quite pleased to receive invitation for Skype interview. Despite the fact, it was expected to be my first EVS interview I wanted to finish it as fast as possible – BBQ party was going to start (nothing personal Yulia). I could say that it was a common interview, despite one fact – I received a message from my secret friend from the life-changing project mentioned above (thanks Kristina). After such pleasurable moment I wanted to come to Sweden much more. Thanks God my dream come true, I was accepted and at next day I was already thinking about farewell parties.
