My Estonian dream

I would lie to myself and everyone if I won't say that it's not perfect, of course, it's normal that it's not perfect but when you start to point out the defects means that it's actually very good. So the bad thing start from me, that I keep forget things that I need and me that I can't get any idea that I like and also the fact that I still don't have a bike it's not perfect. Let's talk about the good thing: all the rest, I surprised myself how fast I adapted myself to this life, making it interesting and awesome, of course, I'm still developing it but everything is going better than expected. The next weekend I'll go to the first training course in Tallinn, I'm quite excited to see how others volunteers are going. Oh yeah, last but not least, I'm starting to love Estonian language.

This was the first week, the one where I started my activities as a volunteer, for what I can say now, I'm glad of this choice, the place is nice, the people are kind , definitely my place. I actually was scared about working in the kindergarten but after the first look, I can say that I like it, kids are full of energies and playing with them is very funny! But the best thing is actually at Kiviõli school, I love that place, it reminds me when I was in high school, I definitely want to participate to a lesson, I want to feel again the feeling of sitting behind a desk while listening the teacher and takes notes.

So after one year (more or less) of planning, this EVS started. This place is so calm and nice but I'll definitely need a bike to move faster, I'll as if I can get one. Anyway I feel so happy, even if right now I haven't so many ideas, I'm sure I'll get some, it's only a matter of time. The first day flowed so fast and I can't wait to see some old friends and make some new one, I'm ready for everything

I'm finally in my promised land and it's even better than I expected, I had the chance to visit Tallinn, the capital, and it's more than amazing. Right now I'm in Möedaku sportcentre, 15 minutes by car from Rakvere, for a youth exchange and I can say that I'm in love with this place already, it's calm and quiet, it seems a totally different world but I have to say that I made an error, I thought it would had been less cold, right now the weather is making me a lot tired, my body has to still get in it, it takes time and energies but I will survive don't worry. Now I'm waiting for a night without clouds, they told me that here the night sky is amazing, I can't wait to see it!

Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Alessio I'm 21 and I'll be the next EVS volunteer in Maidla youth centre (in Estonia of course). This is my blog, it will be my personal space where I'll write my thoughts, my feelings and my experiences. You will know about me by keep following this blog, right now what you have to know is that the day of departure is really close and I'm very excited and scared at the same time. But before starting this awesome experience, I'll taste a little bit of Estonia, I'll be the leader in a youth exchange in a place near Rakvere, I can't wait anymore!
