There are a lot of things to see and to do in Budapest, no arguments needed. But with the long-term project it is important to remember that eventually you will have to leave. Otherwise, you’ll always think that you have a lot of time in front of you, and never actually do what you wanted.Continue reading “The time when we had a vacation, pt.2”

The time when we had a vacation
Now that the summer is over, it is the prime time to think back on things that have happened during this beautiful season. Summer has never been my favourite season. Back in Saint-Petersburg it didn’t make any sense: the wind was too cold, the sun was nowhere to be seen, it was never hot enoughContinue reading “The time when we had a vacation”
The time we had our summer camps
What is summer? What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think about this beautiful season? Sunshine, sea, sand, flowers all around? Maybe a trip that is for sure going to happen soon? The season of fresh fruits, the season of freedom. Well, it’s a bit different for most teachers I know. SummerContinue reading “The time we had our summer camps”
The time when life is uneventfully eventful
The meaning of “simple life” can be seen throughout the ages in literature. And if you were reading a lot of classical literature, you might understand right away what I’m talking about. Comparing idyllic simple rural life to the corrupt city life can be seen in many literature pieces, starting with the romanticization of theContinue reading “The time when life is uneventfully eventful”
The time the Universe asked everyone to chill
Hello again! It’s been some time. It’s been a few weeks of quarantine. Few weeks ago Hungary went on lockdown. No traveling (officially), no hanging around the parks, no picnics, all the plans went down the toilet. It’s okay to feel down sometimes. But it’s not okay to be drowned in the negativity, and to thenContinue reading “The time the Universe asked everyone to chill”
The time when we decided to travel
I probably have mentioned it before, I must have at some point, but I’m proud to say that. Our VKV team (very kind volunteers) lives in a beautiful town of Szecseny. Some might have an opinion about the terminology I’m using, but it’s okay. So, since we have explored quite a bit here, we’ve decidedContinue reading “The time when we decided to travel”
The time we had our first sessions
The time when we had our beginning and the time when we had to say goodbye would be a more accurate heading. But a bit too long for my liking. Besides, it’s not exactly a beginning, and these were not exactly farewells. At least, I like to think so. Please, allow me to live inContinue reading “The time we had our first sessions”
The time we went for the on-arrival training
I’ve mentioned the on-arrival training before when we were talking about APV. And from that time everyone was quite hyped about this training that we as ESC volunteers have to go through. Personally, I was moderately excited about it. First of all, it’s a place where people from many different countries meet. Like a bigContinue reading “The time we went for the on-arrival training”
The time we were settling down
It was quiet before the storm. Before work and fun we were given time to settle down. And it means so many things. Unpacking is the first obvious thing that you think of. But apart from unpacking, there’s tons of stuff to do! For example, exploring the town, and not just being a tourist andContinue reading “The time we were settling down”
The time we had an APV
APV is an Advanced Preparation Visit organized by our Host Organization Egyesek. Not to be confused with on-arrival training organized by the National Agency. During the APV we got to know the future team, the past team, and the team of all times, as well as the location, the brief introduction to the stores inContinue reading “The time we had an APV”
