My volunteering experience at Outward Bound Romania: Let´s get the project started

Hello dear readers of this blog!

My name is Kata and I just became a volunteer at Outward Bound Romania. I have the honour of writing the first post on this blog.

I am from Slovakia and I am 26 years old. After I graduated I moved to Budapest and started to work as a designer of heating systems. Unfortunately it didn’t work for me as I expected, so I decided to broaden my horizons by doing volunteer work. I always enjoyed working with people, especially with teenagers and children. Working here is a great opportunity to learn more about it. I hope that during the project I can develop my leadership abilities and gain my self-confidence.

Something about me:

I grew up in a small village near to Kosice therefore the nature was always close to me. I love taking long walks, hiking, jogging. I enjoy going out with my friends, having fun, dancing. I also like cooking and according to my friends I am quite good at it. (Well, nobody had died yet, so I consider it as a big success :) ) My other passion is handcraft especially jewellery making. I also enjoy knitting, suiting, painting in fact I love every activity which needs creativity.

Furthermore my family is really important to me. I adore my parents, I am absolutely grateful to them for their support. I have a younger brother and sister who I can also rely on. Without them I wouldn’t be here.

My first days:

Firstly I have to mention this lovely city. I haven’t seen much of it, but I already felt in love with the main square. I have a weakness for the seccesion, so I am absolutely impressed by the charming colorful buildings.

I really appreciate the warm welcome and support of my colleagues, they are kind and helpful. My first impression about the project is definitively positive. I am looking forward to see what the next 9 months will bring.

I will be back in a short time to share with you my newest experiences.

I have already taken some photos of my favourite buildings of the main street, enjoy them!
