Our beautiful moments...

Hello dear readers!

Happy that you have found our blog. And we are happy to introduce you some of our most amazing moments of our European Solidarity Corps voluntary project from November 2019 to May 2020 in amazing Majadahonda, Spain. Enjoy timetraveling with us!
Counting my blessings in Navacerrada. Angela went hiking with local Erasmus students and foreigners.

Very first night in Spain and knowing already that it will be one great adventure! Angela, Fiia and 2018/2019 volunteer Vasil.

While abroad, other foreigners become your friends more easily than back home. While abroad, you both come from the same place. From somewhere far away.
Stronger together! Angela and Fiia on their way to Alicante airport while leaving Spain in May 2020.

Discovered how fun you can make learning new things!

Time for podcast recording.

We went to discover and got to know Spain but as you can see, we got to know the whole Europe! All together with other volunteers in Cantabria.

Learning Spanish with morning sun in Madrid. What a beautiful life!

Time for changes! Angela's thoughts looking back

So I also knew myself already at the age of 14 - one day I will do something like that! I will also challenge myself, become a member of a community, team and place which I don’t know.

But next to this volunteer, there are ...
