First of all, this blog should be guide for potential volunteers who are thinking about participate in EVS. So this blog might write by me honestly.

I adapted myself to a different life, culture and also attitudes. EVS gave me a better understanding of a different life. At first, my adaptation process was very hard for me. Because of I was inexperienced about living abroad. You know that the fish is missing the water only when it’s out of the fishbowl. I felt like a fish out of water. But now it’s easy for me. EVS provide a significant chance to learning new things.

Other problem is population of EVS area. It’s is very low. Unfortunately, loneliness do still big problem in here.

“There are no problems in life, only challenges.”

 And ‘prejudices against Turkey’ in abroad… I guess that the today’s Europe make same mistake. News reports aren’t true sources for giving information. Unfortunately, they know nothing about Turkey. Things are never as bad as they seem. If you want to find information properly about Turkey, you have to visit Turkey and also you can find information properly via Turkish authors’ books, Turkish directors’ movies. Different points of views always useful to acknowledge the facts. With fake TV news, we cannot promote universal dialogue each other, tolerance and also solidarity.

Hoşçakal.
