Coming from a small town in Southern Italy, the traditions - of any culture - always manage to bring me home wherever I am.  I have been in Cyprus for almost two months and I’m beginning to feel homesick,...

Being a volunteer in the shelter can be as hard as surviving in the jungle, but also fascinating and empowering as it contributes to something big and worthwhile. The first month has been one of the most intense experiences of my life. 

When I first arrived in Cyprus I didn’t know what to expect from this island. I was coming from a period abroad because I lived three months in Germany and two in Ireland – two cold countries very different from Italy, where...

I’ve been in Cyprus from one month and half and I’m completely falling in love with this country. Before moving here, I was wondering what my life might be, which people I was going to meet, the volunteering experience I was going...

I haven’t always loved traveling. I have to admit that in adolescence I didn’t like the idea of getting out from the comfort zone in which I had always lived. But time changes many things in everyone’s life. Change priorities, friendships...

The island of Cyprus is a place of many wonders where past and present perfectly intertwine creating an enchanting atmosphere. Throughout the centuries, Cyprus has seen many populations and cultures that have left a long-lasting mark among the streets and buildings of different cities.

9 months ago I did know just two things about Cyprus: that it was really small and that it was somewhere close to Malta. Spoiler: one of my two knowledges was definitely wrong. In my defense, I almost had never heard about this country in my life. When I discovered I would have left, I started to collect information and paying more attention when I heard people or radio talking about it. In this way, I began to be more conscious about the place where I was about to live for 1 year: the language, the correct geographical position, the political situation...Still, I was not able to keep expectations.  Then I arrived, and I almost immediately fell in love, before with Lefkosia, then, as soon as I had the chance to travel a little bit, with Cyprus.
