Ciao ragazzi! Hello everyone! Our adventure in Lecce started on the 20th of November 2016. We are here for European Voluntary Service (EVS) and work with VulcanicaMente. We have been here in Lecce for 6 weeks now. But first we want to take you back to the beginning of our lives here. Tairi: After a looooooong travel (spent 5 hours in Amsterdam making a touristic walk with heavy rain) from Tallinn to Italy I arrived at Brindisi airport. To my big surprise Sara and Doris where there to pick me up. I was in the middle of missioon impossible – trying to charge my phone with some weird Italian machine, when they suddenly out of nowhere appeared behind me. I was super happy to see them, because I had spent the whole travelling day alone, lonely and sad :( That night I had my first Italian car experience. Im telling you, do not sit in a car in Italy before you are sure that the engine works and the car is not filled with smoke. But I guess it was just some fireworks to welcome me to Italy. MORNING NR. 1, SUNDAY I woke up at lunch time. My room was filled with sunlight. Since our huge apartment has 5 balconies, I was thinking why not try to enjoy the weather on one of them. As I was sitting outside enjoying the weather, listening to NOËP (a great artist from Estonia, check him out here) and eating the sandwich I had bought from Tallinn airport, I felt this great happiness and relief inside of me. That moment I knew, that here in Italy, in Lecce, in this apartment, on this balcony is the exact place where I want and need to be. Zsófia: I started my way to Italy on the 18th of november at midnight. First I went to Budapest by car to get the airplane, I was a bit sad and nervous because my mom and my brother were with me and I hate to say goodbye. So I started my first alone airtrip to Rome. When I arrived at Rome airport i met my first problem: my suitcase was broken and moving with that was very hard plus the weather was bad. I was in Termini station for 6-7 hours, it was boring and realized I will live in Italy for 1 year. I went to a little restaurant for lunch and there I met a Croatian man. We just started a conversation about Italy, he told to me it’s a beautiful country with great mentalism so I was happy in that moment. I caught the train in the last minute, because I fell sleep in the waitingroom. The train arrived late to Lecce because something happened with the lines and we stopped for 1 hour. I knew somebody will be waiting for me in Lecce trainstation. There were Sara and Doris, I was calm when I arrived. Luckily they came by car (I had two 20 kg suitcases) and we went to the casa. When I came into the house I was so surprised, what a huge house! Sara and Doris went to Brindisi to pick up Tairi so I had time to discover everything. It was very late and I was tired so I chose one room for myself and I went to the bed to sleep. I woke up when Tairi arrived and I was in another dimension because I started to speak in hungarian with the girls.. So it was very strange first meeting with Tairi (honestly I have only some memories about that). Next day I was very fresh because I woke up in the afternoon and we had the first breakfast. We started to get to know about each other and we went walking to the center becuse I had been there before. In the evening we had a a surprise welcome party in Kiio Lab. It was amazing and we got to know a lot of new people.
