 Hi! 

I`m Miriam, 19 years old and from Germany. This year I spend in Romania, because after I finished school in May, I`m fed up with learning and I want to see how life is in other cultures. Indeed Romanian culture is so different from German culture, but I`m often surprised how similiar it is to my own character. :)) Moreover, it`s a good opportunity to think about in what direction I want to go in professional life, if I want to study or not etc.

But I think that this year also will change my nature a lot, because there`s much to learn of Romanian way of living and solving problems.

And after this year I will be much more mature and able to take care of myself, because I have to do the shopping, cook, clean, wash etc etc on my own.

I`m just at the beginning of my EVS in Romania and maybe in a few months everything will have changed and will be different as expected, but at the moment I only can recommend to do an EVS (especially in Romania;)) to everyone who finished school, finished university, is unemployed or the like.

At the end of this year I`m going to do a final evaluation of my year in Romania which may be interesting for you if you think about doing an EVS.

Kind regards, 

Miriam
