What happens in Braga...stays in Braga!!!

Well, hello people....

It took us some time but eventually we managed to post something... Few days ago we went to a beautiful city called Braga, and by saying beautiful I mean fantastic! There we met some people from all over the world doing their EVS here in this beautiful country. We met people that shares the same passion, same ideas, same point of view of the world with us. Heck, we made some friends. And as all fairy tales begin; Once upon a time, three people from different countries, with different cultures, different dreams, came together here in this beautiful country called Portugal and settled in small city in the southern part of the country, at the region of Algarve, called Olhão. And then one day their coordinator said: "OK people, you are going to Braga for your "On arrival" training course." No one knew how amazing was going to be. No one expected to be that good. No one had dreamed of that it was going to be among the best experience they would had! So on the 7th of October, early in the morning those three people began a long journey from the city of Olhão towards an unknown, until then, city. The only thing they knew was the name, Braga. The journey took around 8 hours with the first stop at Faro train station after just 10 minutes. It was just a mid-stop to switch trains in order to get to the first major stop of their journey, Lisboa Oriente!

But there was no time to spend there, so it was just a snack a smoke and off to Braga! Another 4 hours to go. And after that long journey the time had come! Braga train station at last!

But wait...where was the hotel they were supposed to stay? Their coordinator told them is really close to the train station, but where?

Well eventually they found the entrance, it was literally inside the train station. And on that time, with out them knowing, one of the most amazing experience in their life just started! There they were supposed to stay for a week, and learn about the EVS program, what it represents, what´s the purpose of the program and some new stuff about Erasmus+. But things turned out to be more exciting!

A new social wall was created, an EVSwall with place to leave your message to anyone you wished to, something like a secret letterbox

A wall of emotions...

a wall of thoughts and creativity,

artists emerged,

but also friendships were created.

But most important of all was the journey not the cause. And as far as I know our three friends enjoyed their journey and gained a life-time experience....

And they lived happily ever after! :)
