At first, I had my doubts because I’m not a social person but now I don’t regret it at all. So, if you have the opportunity to do an Erasmus, go for it! Don’t be shy and just go for it! You won’t regret it.

My first Erasmus was in Varde, in Denmark, and I had the best time of my life. I had so much fun with the people I just met, learning their language, their cultures and visiting their hometown. I’m looking forward to doing it again!

Of course, I didn’t feel comfortable initially because it’s not easy for me to talk to new people, especially if they are from a completely different country. From the first day on, I got along very well with everyone I met. It didn’t take long until it was really easy to communicate with everybody. we got to know each other very well, and I’m still in touch with some of them! Unfortunately, it was just a week, which was way too short to get to know everybody well. On the last day, some of us even shed some tears because it was so hard to say goodbye.

This project really did improve my English very much. I also learned how to speak in front of people. My body language is now better than before; you can even ask my teachers. Even if I don’t remember a word in English, I explain this word or use another one to communicate with others and they always understand me.

This week in Denmark will be in my memories for the rest of my life. It was a great experience!
