From Gran Canaria to Rezekne

Hello my friends,
I'm Jesús, a 25 years old canarian boy who had one day the dream to travel the world.

This is me in Bulgary, the first time I saw snow. Like a child as you can see

I'm an EVS volunteer from Gran Canaria, Spain. It'll be my first experience living abroad, but I have a lot of experience in intercultural exchange events, since I'm member of AEGEE, participating in 8 european events in different countries.
Maybe you can ask, "how a canarian boy who always has lived in such warm island wanted to go to Rezekne, Latvia?" Well, maybe you think I'm crazy, but the truth is this. I've always wanted to live in the North, and when I saw this EVS, I knew that I had to apply.
When I saw they accepted me, the happiness came to me like...

After the first happy moment, of course some fears started to come to me...
Will I be good volunteer for the event?
Will I survive in that cold?
1 year abroad in my first experience, are you crazy Jesús?

But well, I'm still here, I think I'm ready, and in 2 weeks I'll start this amazing adventure.

If you ask me about my expectations of this project, I'd say the following:
- I hope to learn a lot, and help to make this project amazing.
- I hope to meet new cultures and new amazing people, and keep growing as a person of the world.
- I except to spend a really good time and have the oportunity to travel around.



So, this is all for today fellas, see you soon in Rezekne








Come on, I'm kidding, I'll be as happy as this penguin with the snow
