Hello everyone! My name is Mar\u00eda, I\u2019m a 27 year-old girl and I come from Elche (Alicante), Spain. By profession, I am both a journalist and a dressmaker, and I\u2019m passionate about creativity in all its forms. I have also already completed a Master\u2019s degree to become a High School teacher.\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
I decided to join this European volunteering experience in Krak\u00f3w because I wanted to meet new people, discover a different culture, and make the most of this opportunity to grow personally and professionally. I believe that living in Poland will give me many opportunities to meet new people, discover traditions, and also discover myself here.
I chose this experience because it is quite related to my profession, as I\u2019ll work in the office and conduct some workshops in the foundation with older people and children, as well as help other people who want to come. I hope that this experience will give me the opportunity to choose the right way for me to work in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
In my childhood, I used to play basketball with my friends, and now I like upcycling clothes too, because I\u2019m an eco-friendly person and I like to give as many lives as I can to clothing items. Apart from these hobbies, traveling is one of my passions. I have been to many countries, and I have never thought that it was too much. I\u2019m always open to exploring and discovering cities and cultures, and I wish that this year I will be able to travel a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>
\n
Now I\u2019m understanding and discovering myself, and I think this opportunity is very useful to know myself better and to discover what life is bringing me now. I came to Krak\u00f3w to learn and explore, meet other volunteers and local people too, and try to share the best of me in this experience.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hope to share this adventure with the other volunteers here, and I would love to connect with Polish culture because I\u2019m a communicative person and I\u2019m open to discovering other cultures and also new hobbies that I may like. I want to try to grow with this experience in a professional way and, most importantly, in a personal way, because life is continuous learning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
This is a new adventure that I\u2019m involved in, and I expect that it will be one of the best years of my life. Now I am in a new country, with a new language, so many new people, and a new culture. I\u2019m so excited to see how it will be and what adventures this opportunity will bring me.
For now, I\u2019ve only been in Krak\u00f3w for a week, and I\u2019m already in love with this city and the culture, so I\u2019m very excited to start my new life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
