This is a new section where we would like to share the experiences of the Italian volcanic volunteers sent abraod by VulcanicaMente as sending organisation thanks to the Erasmus+ volunteering opportunities. We start with the project "Forest Quest" in Cyprus, made up by short and long term volunteering projects. Here the beautiful words of our guys just come back after 1 month of European volunteering in Cyprus in May with #Erasmusplus, fill our hearts with joy and satisfaction with the work we do. Fabio F. Good morning Sara. Sorry, I wrote down something but I felt so many and so intense emotions that is hard to tell, because what I’ve lived is unspeakable. My expectations have been totally fulfilled: I felt inside me that I had to participate, that I might share concrete things, and that’s by taking part in “Forest Quest” project that I’ve learned, I’ve improved myself and I’ve got excited. Living an experience like this is the best thing you can do, because, despite everything, it becomes a part of you. Local people, that lives in small villages hard to reach without means of transport, were so hospitable, so hearty that they have no equals. Cyprus coffees, cookies and fruits were accompanied by shy smiles and soft hugs. The very last day, 24 hours before leaving, I was about to pay my souvenirs and a man said to me: “Get a girlfriend, get married and stay here!”, and suddenly by chance a beautiful girl came into the shop and started speaking with us. In order to not getting attached to her, I had to leave. Fabio P. I bring with me a wonderful experience with local culture, but at the same time in a multicultural group. I’d do it again and I recommend it to everyone. Camilla: : Cyprus - between May and June - volunteering in the woods. I immediately decided to apply. And now, "at home", a few weeks from the return, I do not even have time to wonder what this experience has left me that Iimmediately felt the warmth of Cypriot hospitality. And of those coffees offered, as an excuse to have a chat in the cool, on the terraces of those white and blue houses. The sun is very comfortable and the sea is very clear. Card games, breathtaking views. The music that accompanied us everywhere. The barbecues. That feeling of being in the right place at the right time that I wish everyone. ♥ And then - dispassionate advice - go to Cyprus! Or do an EVS! Or even better ... make an EVS in Cyprus !! "
