Our EVS in Bucharest

Wednesday 7 August 2013

First impressions of Bucharest

Hello!

My name is Carles, I’m from Valencia, Spain, and I’m 21 years old. I studied medical laboratory and I’m in Bucharest doing the EVS for the next 11 months!
Why I choose Bucharest? I didn’t choose it… the destiny did it! I was looking to do my EVS in a medium/big city, I applied for a lot of projects in Istanbul, Budapest… and one single project from Romania/Bucharest. And here I’m!

How is Bucharest? It is a city half done...  everywhere is full of easily solvable damage, but here seem not to care. Thousands and thousands of cables hanging everywhere, is its hallmark.

Moreover, Bucharest has a wide cultural and leisure activities, at least in summer is common to find festivals every week, outdoors, with free access. And there are many museums to a very affordable price, even more if you are a student. And of course, a lot of parks where to spend time with your friends!

Also, isn’t easy to live with 4 flatmates, each one very different, but I think this year will be amazing! We will meet a lot of people, travel, grow up and have unforgettable experiences.

In conclusion, I am starting to understand the city and its people, and although far from the city of my dreams, I'm happy to be here and to be living this adventure with my new friends / family!

See you soon,


Carles S.
