Good-bye Ivana

Hi!

My name is Ivana and I am at the end of my EVS in Mantova.
I can still remember when I was writing on this blog about my arrival to Italy. At that time I had a lot of enthusiasm and many expectations. Today I can say that the enthusiasm passed away and it transferred to the curiosity about what will follow after this nice phase of my life.

…I had the opportunity to take part in many marvelous trips around Italy, in plenty of going outs with our Italian friends… it would be hard for me to select immediately the most memorable days … but one thing I know for sure also now, I am taking home many unforgettable experiences.
In the future, in Slovakia, or wherever I will be then, I will watch the photos taken in Italy with a great pleasure, thinking that those nine month spent here were really worth it J

I can’t forget to name the persons that surrounded me here, my flat mates, friends, mentors, tutors and the children from the centre where I worked were “gentilissimi”.
Especially in the moments when I missed my home country, people who stayed there, Slovak habits or our way of humor, my friends and colleagues understood that I needed to be alone for a while and after then they stood by my side ready to listen… special thanks to Janka, Lourdes, Fanny, Joschka, Fatima, Angela, Vittoria, Francesca, Irene … I got from you so much attention that I will never be able to return it to you.
I am leaving this place with a debit (btw. with some missing working hours too…I don’t know how this could happen…mamma mia, che scema!...:)). I can repay this debit only with great thanks…
..but I hope that I also managed to give you something from me. J

Many hugs
Yours Ivana
