Hello there! We promised more of Sanda and Ioana gone in Exchange in Poland, Krakow and here it is!

“We have been Exchange Participants in Krakow for three weeks already and it’s more than awesome!

Still, while we sit to write this, we cannot find words to express how wonderful our experience has been. Time passes quickly as we enjoy every moment. We might not have believed it before, but Exchange is indeed a feeling that cannot be described unless one has lived it.

Krakow is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe- you should definitely put it on your Must See list. We can never get enough of walking and sensing the age of the buildings or old streets. This city is full of life and we have embodied its soul into ourselves.

The work at the NGO brings us as much excitement and joy as the city itself. The staff is very welcoming and we feel like part of a family there. Working with the kids takes you to another world; one where smiling and laughing all the time is a rule. They give us so much love and treat us as special guests. We draw, play football, create quizzes, organize competitions, teach them about our culture and simply engage ourselves in any activity that puts a smile on their innocent faces. Seeing them grow attached to us as days pass by is one of the most fulfilling emotions one can ever experience.

Furthermore, after work, we have so much fun! Making new friends has never been so easy! Distance now holds a completely different notion for us as we have seen before us just how small the world is.

Romania, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Turkey, Spain, Georgia, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Morocco, and China- we have all united as one for a common goal, under a common experience.

We were told that Exchange is about people who want to make the world a better place and now, we see just how true it is. Exchange is a challenge that after going through, you can only count what you gained.

So when will you pack your things to join us in Exchange?

Lots of love from Krakow!!!

Sanda & Ioana”
