Finally I’m writing my first testimundho. I should have done it in my first weeks here, that means almost a month and a half ago, but here I am now… And I think it’s a good sign as it means that I’ve been too “busy” doing other stuff to sit in front of my computer… Continue reading O testimunho da Alba
Here I find myself writing my last testimony, I cannot believe that my year as a European volunteer has happened so fast. I decided to come to Lisbon because I was in a moment of my live that I used to feel pretty stuck so I looked for a change in my life, and definitely… Continue reading O testimunho da Alicia
Yes, in a matter of few days my life changed suddenly. I never thought I’d miss my family, my nephew and my friends (also the Italian food!) so much. But I’m here now and I absolutely want to enjoy the experience and every single moment. When I received the confirmation e-mail from Inês I asked… Continue reading O testimunho da Irene
This will be a retrospective weave of memory threads of one year of my life, in which I have lived more than 31 million seconds as a volunteer in Lisbon. It’s quite an enormous number, no? (Trust me, I Googled it, it’s correct.) In the first second I was confused, and in the second one… Continue reading A guided tour of 31 536 000 seconds

So, I can now proudly tick… Continue reading O testimunho do Miguel

First, I really want to thank the Bernardim Casa. I was really curious about this experience, go to a… Continue reading O testimunho do Mathieu
This time I will not write a lot, because I understood that the more I want to say, the fewer words I find to do so. I came to Portugal by chance, I was not planning it nor I was trying to find a project or an opportunity that would bring me here. I want to… Continue reading O testimunho final da Monika
So I am finally here, in the city of my dreams, Lisbon. I am in the beginning of my 9-month ESC service after I left my life in Croatia.
Por começar, é bem apresentar-se: sou Giulia, uma rapariga italiana nascida e criada em uma pequena aldeia de Sicília. Vim para Lisboa a primeira vez para começar o meu mestrado em desenvolvimento e cooperação internacional. Fiquei apaixonada por esta cidade que tinha escolhido sem conhecer nada. Desde o início aqui senti-me bem recebida e apaixonei-me… Continue reading O testimunho da Giulia
