I left a piece of my heart in Reșița, it can be a small town in the middle of Romania but it was life changing experience in many ways.
From the warm-hearted welcome, to the beautiful landscapes, to the amazing people that I meet, every day was a new adventure. This journey was more than just giving back- it was about new friendships, life lessons, and the memories that I’ll carry with me forever. The stories that I will tell my future kids about Romenia will be wrapped in joy and love. Sometimes, stepping out of your comfort zone leads to the most unforgettable experiences even though it wasn’t always perfect, that’s what made it so rewarding.
Got to experience so many new things, whether it was building my own projects, working with children, or immersing myself in the culture of a totally new environment for me; even got the chance to explore new countries and cities around the beautiful mountains of Romenia.
Feeling incredibly fulfilled for this unforgettable journey and for everything Romania has given me.
A special thanks to my family, Associação Mais Cidadania, the coordinators and all the friends and people that I met along the way.
You will not be forgotten.
