My name is Baalla Zineb my experience was just amazing, before coming to Brasil I was neutral about the country but now it's for me my definitely second country. A lot of people love Brasil because it's very touristic and beautiful to see in general, indeed this is true but what attracts me more is the people. The vast majority of people are helpful and they accept differences even if all people speak only portuguese you feel warm and you don't feel stranger. I'm really sad to leave this magnificent country I really love Brasil because so many people showed unconditional love to me and they really made it hard for me to leave. The last week was the sadest and it went too fast. It was the fastest 5 weeks of my whole life. The project was just perfect because it was a talk project and it made to represent my country and in the same time I knew a lot about Brazilian culture.

 I had absolutely no idea before about the country and now I feel like if I'm half Brazilian. I learnt portuguese and I met a lot of people that showed me an unconditional love ,People liked so much the classes we gave and were so glad to know about the differences.

When I was a child I used to play that game of guessing with my besties: it’s like you have to roll an earth ball, try to put your index finger on it while it’s winding and the country that you will stop by it’s the one which you will go to when you grow up. Sounds boring, but we had fun by then especially with that creative imagination that we used to have!! The bottom line is that how AIESEC works.

I still remember the hungry EPs in the competition to find the best project and I can’t deny that I was one of them. However, I got the chance to find what I want and it was time to get ready to pack my stuff and to travel to Ukraine.

               

WHoooa!

I got my visa and I went directly the next day to the airport. I was nervous, afraid, lost, and at the same time excited to have my first experience abroad.  It was like a storm of emotions that came from nowhere.  I found my seat on the plane and the pilot started smashing the words like he was under drugs. Ladies and gentlemen it’s time to say goodbye to Morocco!

I had to stop in Turkey to wait for the next flight. It was night and I spent 3 hours crawling at Istanbul airport, holding my backpack that weighs the double of my own weight, just looking for the airport hotel. When I finally found it I was completely chocked to know that I have to pay for hours and the lowest price was 120$ for 6 hours….I mean seriously! Anyways the hotel won and I had to find a bed to catch some Zzzz.

I woke up the next morning holding tears in my eyes, having these questions in my head: what If I missed my flight and didn’t go to Ukraine? What If something bad happened and I’m thousands miles away from my parents? Oh I already miss my parents!! Just don’t want to die in turkey...

My sister was never wrong calling me a drama queen and I had no choice but carry on that rock on my back again and move on. My phone is ringing; it’s time to catch my next flight to Ukraine, and what’s going to happen next?  Nobody knows. Four hours had passed and eventually I arrived to my destination, Dnepropetrovsk Ukraine, and the real fun has just begun.

I met my host family that day and I was glad to see that I had my own room. They were so nice, so generous and they made me feel like I’m home. Plus the AIESECers whom I worked with during my internship were so supporting and so encouraging.

The tasks that were referred to me were all related to teaching English and I absolutely enjoyed every single second with the kids and the mentor teacher indeed.  I enjoyed discovering the culture of Ukrainian people and their life style, not forgetting about their famous plates and their manners.

I will never forget the day I fell off the bike, I had a green purple spot on my knee and it was in the shape of a heart that I laughed so hard about it.

Name :ikrammostafi

Country : Indonesia

I will never forget my  journey in Indonesia. Everything was special there, more than I expected. During the 2 months spent in that beautiful country, each day ended with special stories. I have learned many things, for instance, how to be patient just like indonesian people or i tried.... I was surprised to discover how fascinating was their modesty.

My last day in Makassar was very special, my students from "kelass Mia Dua", that's the name of the classroom, (my favourite one in senior high school)  suggested to take me somewhere, they really insisted so i had no choice but to agree. It was my last day and they wanted to make it special. We had lunch together and then they took me to a very beautiful place. It was one of my student's house(Fadil) but not a normal one. Fadil had a zoo in his house, his hobbie was collecting rare birds and other animals, I really enjoyed being there. But the most exciting part was about another place: some waterfalls near his house that I haven't visited since I got to Makassar. It was pretty hard to get there since I wasn't wearing my sport shoes. We walked for half an hour before getting to the beautiful waterfalls. I will never forget how we crossed a small river by a thick wooden board. I was scared at the begining before setting my foot on the board. It was amazing experiencing this and watching the sunset from there, we took a selfie so we can all remember how memorable that day was. Everytime I look at this picture I remember it, I feel it and I  know we were all happy To be there, happy because our paths crossed and got To share beautiful memories with each other. This is only one good souvenir from many others in the wonderful Indonesia. I hope to come back there soon.

I miss my students so much and I'm happy  I had the privilege To learn from them as much as they hopefully did from me.

I'm still keeping touch with them. Aiesec brought us together and technology is keeping us cliquer.
