End of the italian journey Blog
Hey I'm Daniel.
From my perspective theese are the potential gains from the project (applicable mosty to younger people):
Breaking the ties with your home and family.
Meeting international people and variety of people in general. Trying yourself out in the new circumstances. Living half way on your own maybe for the first time. Having lots of leisure time justified with a statement "I am a volunteer".
Downsides:
Lets be honest - acitivities are mostly pointless and they lack true responsability - so you better make sure (by asking previous volunteers) that you will in reality spend on them as little amount of time as possible. Later on make sure that you will be determined enough to develop yourself in any way of your liking during the time that will be given to you (socialise yourself, learn boxing, yoga, educate yourself, meditate, travel, whatever).
Cuz... Tones of free time will tempt your inner devils (instagram, youtube, series, laziness, alcoholism) and othervise (and most probably) you will be confronted with the reality of your misery and simply waste your time while being here.
Greetings
Daniel
