Reports from Spain

Ettore's diary

If I was asked to choose a destination for a journey, Spain would not have been among my first choices because I didn't think i would like it, but I was wrong. In fact, thanks to Erasmus+, I had the opportunity to visit Catalunya, and I discovered this wonderful place where I spent a week of happiness and beautiful experiences that I shared with the guys I met there.

We visited parks and monuments in the city of Barcelona, and we had the opportunity to try their specialities and live a bit of their kind of life.

 Everything was fun, except leaving that places and that new friends, and now it is an indelible memory I will forever save among my most beautiful ones.

Sarah's diary

“ What on Earth am I doing this for? ”- This is the first thing I have thought while getting to the airport. I was really excited, I felt like a child on his first school day. It was a new experience for me and, due to my anxiety, I was up to tell my mum “please, take me home”. Luckily, I said nothing and quickly, after having said goodbye, I got on board. The flight lasted few hours and in the middle of the afternoon I arrived to Barcelona. There I found a really nice family who was waiting for me and, as soon as they saw me, they ran towards me for a hug. Firstly I was dazed but then, when they started talking to know something about me, I felt really involved and well-liked. They showed me the house and the first thing I’ve noticed was a poster on the chimney - “Welcome to Sarah Ricci”. On that moment I realised that I would feel like home and so it was. I think I will never forget the way I felt that week, it’ ll remain etched in my heart. I’ve known a lot of people and each of them have given something to me. I can’t explain the satisfaction, the pleasure, the excitement and the happiness I was covered in and I can say that the friendships we have created were true. All the guys made me better and I will be grateful forever. I didn’t know how to say goodbye, I was in tears and the family too. The guys have cried for days and we couldn’t separate from each other. At the airport we were compelled to say goodbye and I felt really lost, I felt like I was saying goodbye to a part of me, like it was the last time we would meet. It has been the best week of my life and I promise I will come back to my little large family.
