Hi! I am Karla fom Croatia.

I was in Lithuania, Kulautuva (20th-26th October).

I think it was a great experience! Lithuanian people were so nice to us and they were amazing hosts! The weather was quite colder than in Croatia, but we didn't mind it. I made few new friends and I think that they are wonderful. I am so glad and happy that I am in this project because if I weren't, I wouldn't have that opportunity to go to that beautiful country and meet those friendly people ! I also liked the school there. The teachers were very nice and I had a lot of fun there! I really liked when we went to Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania.I also liked the tour to Kulautuva a lot! I was thinking about how it would be in the new family. It turned out they were amazing! They were so nice, we talked a lot, we also learned some Lithuanian words. On the last day we had a party when we ,unfortunately ,had to say goodbye to everyone. Erasmus + helped me to see that we grow up in the different parts of Europe ,but we share the same problems, no matter how far we are from each other. I really loved all my Lithuanian friends and I hope I will see them and Kulautuva again.

October 20th was the day I was very excited, but also scared about. Luckily, there was nothing to be scared of. After our flight, our host family was waiting for us in front of the school. They were very nice, friendly and also perfect hosts. Austeja and Emilija did their best to make us feel welcomed. Every day there was a new activity. I learned lots of things, made new friends, practised my English, participated in many workshops...The nature in Lithuania was definitely the thing that impressed me the most. We went to Kaunas, Vilnius, Druskininkai and stayed in Kulautuva with our host family. After experiencing our Lithuanian life, I wanted to stay. People were nice, polite, full of love and helpful. Their school system is very different than ours, but I love it. We learned a lot of things about bullying, which I find very useful. I'm very upset that we could not stay any longer, but I hope that I will get a chance to see those people again.
