Krakow krakow\u2026 I don\u2019t even know where or how to start. The best 10 months of my life. Challenges, difficulties, happiness and growth. This project and the time I spent in krakow made me an another person. I feel like I fully changed and grew up. I can\u2019t even count all the positive impacts in my life but I do know that I\u2019d do all of it all over again without a hesitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s very very hard for me to say goodbye and start to my new life. I wish this chapter would never come to an end but every wonderful thing ends eventually. I\u2019ll always carry in my heart the people I met during my project and all the good memories. When I look back, I don\u2019t see even one single regret. I was so so so happy all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n

Poland has a whole different vibes, tradition and way of communication. But a little bit of culture shock makes it even more great because we\u2019re here to leave our comfort zones. Leaving my comfort zone with ESC and IB Polska team was THE BEST decision I\u2019ve ever made. Life is not always roses and rainbows but when we use our sources in an efficient way, everything beccomes even easier and you enjoy the differencies of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I fell in love with Krakow and found my home. This is the best place in my heart and a place I\u2019ll never have to say goodbye. The memories I hold in my heart are very deep and I\u2019m a whole different person now. I thank to every single person who gave me this oppurtunity. Thank you for everything.<\/p>\n\n\n
