”The Camino Estonia project was an unforgettable experience that opened my eyes and gave me a new perspective. I was able to learn something new and meet amazing people. Through the intercultural night, I became familiar with new traditions, cultures, various dances, and music, which greatly impacted me and developed my curiosity. They taught me interesting ways of non-verbal communication, teamwork, patience, and being more open. The topics about mental health that we talked about stimulated my personal growth, I reflected on my past life and realized the path I want to take in the future. Being surrounded by such wonderful people made me feel safe and peaceful and I was once again reminded of how beautiful humans can be. That kind of environment and positive energy is something I wish for everyone to experience. Additionally, I tested my physical limits by hiking and discovered new power and mental strength within me. Beautiful landscapes of Estonian fields and forests nurtured my relationship with nature, which led to reducing feelings of stress and anxiety. Furthermore, this environment led to a digital detox, fresh air cleared my mind and I felt grateful for simply being born. I am thankful I had the opportunity to participate in this project and it will forever remain as a wonderful memory of the first Erasmus+ project I was a part of.” – Nadja Vrkačević
”When traveling and doing projects, there are several ways I get inspired. Usually, it is in the form of the new places I’m discovering or in the form of the project topic itself, but Camino Estonia managed to amaze me in a different way. The project facilitators and the story of their organization were the crown jewel of this adventure. It was amazing meeting and collaborating with young people who decided to take the initiative into their own hands to continue the legacy of Erasmus+. Facilitators have truly inspired everyone and motivated us to be ambitious in our own communities and showed us that we are also capable of connecting young people from all around Europe and beyond. I have gained one valuable experience that I will cherish forever as it has left a big impact on my life. I truly believe that the story of the project ”Camino Estonia” isn’t finished as there are more chapters left to be written.” – Aleksandra Vrkačević
