A year ago, I moved to Bremen for my ESC volunteering project. My reason was simple, I wanted a challenge. I needed to do something meaningful, to prove to myself what I was capable of. I wanted an experience that would broaden my horizons, introduce me to new people, and teach me things I couldn’t

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

In May, I began my volunteering placement at a youth center in Bremen, Germany, through the European Solidarity Corps. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed into a vibrant, energetic space where young people from diverse cultural backgrounds come together to play games, join sports activities, cook, chat, or simply seek guidance.

[Please, bear with me. I swear I tried to be brief and concise.] When I first came here, we were told that January-February was usually the hardest time for volunteers – as it combines the return from our family for Christmas and the excruciatingly slow end of the cold, grim season. For me, though, March-April-May

Ten months have passed incredibly quickly. If I had known I would be staying longer, I definitely would have bought that Stray Kids ticket. Oh well, maybe next year. Although I did not get to travel as much as I had hoped this year, it makes sense when everyone around you is busy with their

Hi, it’s Alex again, reporting from the land where the sun is still a rare guest and rain is a loyal companion. I can’t believe how quickly time is flying by—sometimes I wish I could press pause, just to enjoy a little longer everything that’s happening around me. At work, everything is still fantastic.
