Travelling Alone for the First Time

By Ahmed - 1 week intern

Before coming here, I was honestly really nervous. It was my first time travelling alone, so far away from home, and I had so many worries about whether I’d adjust, feel comfortable, or enjoy the experience.

But after spending a week here, I can honestly say I’ve enjoyed every single day. There’s always something to do, and the people here are genuinely amazing. I’ve spent the most time with Lucia, and she’s such a lovely person that I already feel like we’ve become friends. And of course, Rose deserves a special mention too. She’s one of the sweetest people here!

From the people who taught me new things and helped me learn the language to the people who prepare our food, everyone has made me feel welcome.

I genuinely hope to come back one day. This place is truly special, and I believe everyone should experience it at least once in their lifetime.
