The “Rural Youth Ambassadors” project took us to Brajchino, a village that at first glance seems frozen in time, yet quietly holds answers for the future.

Postcards from a life I didn’t know I needed

If you told me a few months ago I’d be here - teaching English in a Turkish coastal town, sipping tea stronger than my willpower, laughing with students and teachers around campfires - I probably would’ve laughed. But here I am. And it’s the best decision I’ve made all summer. The gig? Volunteering in a…

The first home I chose

If you told me five years ago that I’ll live in the Balkans for a year, I would probably assume you’re joking. Not only Balkans, but Macedonia out of all places – a country I never really heard much about, maybe apart from the characteristic red flag with yellow sun and location on the map…
