“Why are you even going?” – that’s what my parents said when I told them I was leaving to Germany to participate in a volunteering project. And at the time, I couldn’t fully explain or even understand myself the many reasons why I wanted to. But now that I need to put it into words,

It’s been a long time since I wrote but lately I’ve been thinking about it every day. I have 2 days left of work at the farm, then the parents come on Thursday. I’m not really realizing that I’m leaving. Even though my room is naked and full of moving boxes. Even though when

Ich werde versuchen dieses eine Jahr, das ich erlebt habe so umfassend und aufrichtig wie möglich zu beschreiben. In der Zeit, in der ich mich für dieses Projekt beworben und später die Nachricht über meine Aufnahme erhalten habe, befand ich mich (wie viele andere) in einer eher instabilen Phase meines Lebens. Mit meiner Ankunft in

I have been back to my country for 11 days now. With everything happening around me it was only slowly getting to me that I really did finish my one year in Bremen. Waking up here, it always takes a moment for me to realize that I’m not in my room there, but here.

Today is my last day of volunteering and I find myself still avoiding confronting my emotions. There are so many feelings swirling inside me, but I know I need to unravel them so I can continue my journey. Almost a year ago, I arrived in Bremen. I remember my first day vividly, the excitement, the
