Hey! I am Zeynep from Türkiye and not from Istanbul😄🇹🇷 I am a 23 years old girl who is exploring herself and world🤗 I am a psychological counselor.

After my graduation ı have started to my volunteering journey with Erasmus Solidarity Corps projects. In 2023 ı was in Poland during 40 days as a ESC volunteer. I was volunteer during Euroskills competition for two weeks. After two weeks ı lived a rural area with other volunteers. I went local schools. I planned some activities like teaching English, singing songs, playing traditional games, dancing, math activities. I organized same activities for elderly people in Gdansk city too. In our association’s organization for children I presented about Erasmus learning and internship mobility to young people. It was amazing experience for me. I visited Norway, Sweden, Germany, Belgium during this journey.

I continue my volunteering journey with another ESC project in Romania for a month in 2024. During my Romania project ı went schools. I did some activities with children like multiculturalism, meeting to emotions, traditional Turkish games. I did public events for public. While ı was going to Germany ı dropped in Budapest. It was amazing for me. I experienced my first Couchsurfing experience in there🤗

After Romania ı went to Germany for another ESC projects during two weeks. I lived in natural community. I had amazing experience in there. I eat vegan foods. I did permaculture activities, ı cooked, ı planted, ı did handcrafts. I visited some German cities. I love them. I stayed in a hots home in Munich. It was my second experience. I love this experiences with Couchsurfing.

As a psychological counsellor working in schools, the definition of learning was in our minds when we were in the faculty of education. Learning is behavioural changes that the individual acquires through her own lives. I also try to make sense of my journey to change by experiencing experiences.🏃‍♀️⌛️🌍
