So this month has been a lot. Someone moving in, then out, meeting some new people, but also saying bye to a lot of people, who became a part of your life. It’s the cycle of life, but if I’m honest it’s really tiring. Expect for the end of month it has been really warm, enough to get some overpriced ice coffee to enjoy outside. Two bigger experiences I had this month was the travel to romania and the revolution day on the 15th. You can feel the tension in the air, knowing the election will be soon and I am curious how it will go. But for this blog I will focus on my travel because it was incredibly nice seeing new things and exploring new places.
So I travelled with another ESC Volunteer, who volunteers in Bucharest. We share a Supporting-Organisation and that’s how we get to know each other. The travel itinerary was 3 nights Bucharest, 3 nights in Braşov and 1 night in Cluj-Napoca and lastly him staying 1 night in Budapest. I stayed at his shared flat and I got to meet his flatmates. Bucharest was so boring, especially for a capital, so we did a day trip to a little town called Targoviste. It was cute but on the way back we missed a connecting train and we were stuck in a random village at night and it was so cold. I was so down in this moment. It felt like it was my lowest point of my life.
Brasov was so nice the centre was so cute and we even hiked up the brasov sign on the hill. Another day we took the train to Sinaia and we hiked past the Peles Castle and took the cable car to 2000m and it was so nice to reconnect with nature after spending so much time between concrete. The view was immaculate and it was the highlight of the entire trip. Cluj was by far my fav city out of the cities because it was soo lively and young. Would love to visit it again. In Budapest we were invited to a birthday party so we were really busy the whole time. Milan, the Bucharest guy, was really patient with me and organised a lot so it was really comfortable to travel with him. I’m really grateful for the opportunities I get while I am here. Hope next month will be a bit calmer but still adventurous. It’s getting a bit lonely here because most of the ESC People are leaving this month including Manal. I will really miss her. But with better weather there is still much to explore and things to do, so I am content that next month will be also a good time.
Another trip is already planned so…will keep you updated!
