Reunion Island - A Modern Fairytale
I really don't know where to start expressing my feelings about this project. I can say that it was one of the best experiences I had in every detail. This project was the first Erasmus+ project I participated in; and since I was inexperienced and didn't know anyone, I was a little nervous at first. But as soon as I arrived at the airport and met a few friends, all my tension and stress disappeared. Since it took so long to get from here to there, we immediately became very close to the people we shared the same flight with. Since our destination was an island and only 3 countries in total participated, I was worried at first that we might not get along and get bored, but this changed as soon as I arrived on the island and met other people. I don't remember having this much fun in my life, let alone becoming close to so many people in such a short time. Also, contrary to my initial thoughts, we explored everywhere together since we were not very crowded and the island was not very big. Outside of program hours, we were all going to the beach together, playing games, and visiting the island. The opportunities that ÇEVKA offered us outside the scope of the project were incredible. They took us on an island tour and showed us many special places. Thanks to them, I saw a volcanic mountain for the first time in my life and had the opportunity to surf in a real ocean! Likewise, our facilitator Emre entertained us so much with his creative ideas that I could never have guessed that such an intense tempo would flow so quickly. In addition, the place we stayed and the food served to us were far above my expectations. The only bad thing I can say about this project is that it was very difficult to get used to my real life after the project was over. Everything I experienced on the island was like a modern fairy tale, and I owe this to ÇEVKA, I thank them very much for this opportunity. This project will always remain in my memory as one of my best memories.
