First week

How I found Žabac, went to Ljubljana and arrived to the office.

I arrived on Thursday and I was starting to get a feeling of regret. What am I doing here? I know no one, I don’t speak Croatian, it’s a year… What am I getting into?

Then I got out of the airport and my mentor came to pick me up. We had dinner together, talked a bit and then it was time to go to my apartment. My flatmate was out in a youth exchange so I slept alone that night. I started unpacking my things but I was super tired from the flight so I fell asleep.

In the morning I finished unpacking and my room actually started looking like it was mine. I went shopping, came back and later that day I met Gin. Finally! We introduced ourselves, talked, went out for a bit… I talked about how amazing this food outlet place is. I stand for Žabac.

I went to the office on Friday, met some of the people there, went to the center of the city at night and on Saturday I went to Ljubljana to visit a friend. Came back on Sunday.

Now it’s Tuesday and I’m leaving to Samobor for a week as a part of the 2CV volunteering project we’re in. Isn’t it crazy? I’ve been here for less than a week and I’m already leaving. Also yesterday I got a lamp and a TV for free. This place is amazing!

Final thoughts: I love Zagreb, I like my job here and there’s free coffee in the office (yay!).

Now for real. I’m happy to be here and I’m really looking forward to finding out what’s next. EVS here I come!
