Of Campfire and Hikes

If I think February was bittersweet, March would probably be frustrating. I can't say that a lot happened this month, but let's start from the beginning.

One of the first things that happened in March was an intercultural night in the local university, they asked us to bring some traditional food of our countries, I did a jug of Sangria representing Spain lol.

Well here we are in a cavern.
After that shit started to go downhill, first everyone got a cold (Sorry guys) and then the schools closed in all Romania, COVID-19 was starting to become a serious threat, so the government decided to not risk lives and wasted no time on enforcing stricters measures. Without anything to do we reunited and try to come with some alternatives for our activities, so we arrived at the ideas of videos.

After that seeing how the measures were becoming stricter, our coordinators organized a hike for us. It was an amazing day in nature and my first hike here in Romania, after so long it was nice to be back in the trails. The trail was easy but really beautiful walking alongside a river, I got one Geocache in one of the caverns nearby.

The next day all the group decided to go to Stema, a hill nearby the city, to do a campfire and just hang out all together. As we learned later that was the last night that we could do that for the time being. Romania just enforced the lockdown.


Two weeks inside our houses, only leaving to buy groceries. Well this was going to be a challenge

Oh boy, what a month! January disappeared in the blink of an eye, so many things happened that I don't know where to start. Well let's pick it up where I left it. Buğra with a guitar that we found xD The first event after arriving here was the welcome party for all the newcomers, there I met all the other volunteers and started to get to know each of them. They did a great job welcoming us all and making us feel right at home from the very beginning! The next week I didn't have activities, but our coordinators suggested to join some veterans to get some experience before it was our turn to start. That week I went to Primavara, a center for disabled children, and the orphanage. At first it was a bit overwhelming but I didn't take too long to get used to it. Aside from that, I spent my time getting to know my roomate and the other volunteers, we went to a little pub near my apartment called Racing, a great little place. Doing an activity with Alexandra in Deau

Oh February, what a bittersweet month, as always so many things happened but this time not all of them were good, but I shouldn't get too ahead of myself. Let's start from the beginning.  The month started in a good note, the activities were going good, I was getting along with the others and life was starting to fall into an easy flow. I was hanging out mostly in the "Cockroach" apartment, playing games and drinking with them, I became fast friends with them. But this was the first "bad" moment of the month, half of the people from that apartment were finishing their projects and had to leave. It was the first goodbye from my EVS, and it was a sad one.

We had an incredible s
