Last week I spent in Orahovica in On Arrival training for new EVS volunteers in Croatia. I learned a lot of new things such as project management and how to handle difficult situations with ease. Also I met other volunteers living in Croatia and learned about their life and daily habits in Croatia. It was nice to have people around you who are in a similar situation as a new comer in a foreign country. We also did a project in Orahovica for the local youth and I met more Croatians who were more than happy to share information about their community and country.
We did also take a look around Orahovica and we climbed to a hill to see ruins of a castle on the hill (Ed Sheeran fans where you at?) From the hill you could see all the way to Hungary! To conclude, it was an interesting trip! See you in the next post! Sanni

Greetings! It's time to look what happened in November. In Žitnik we had a short term EVS project that lasted two weeks but unfortunately I had to leave to Orahovica for On Arrival training period on the second week so I wasn't there full time. Anyhow, the days that I was there were really good and again other volunteers from other countries, loved them. In this project the volunteers did more work among the villagers and other locals from the area and as staff members we were there also. But as the first week came to an end the volunteers had four free days to spend where ever they wanted so me and Olivera (other volunteer from our company as you may know) also decided to travel around. Our fist destination was Zadar in the coast. We took a morning bus there on Thursday and spent the night in a hostel. On Friday we hitchhiked about 5 hours to Split but I think the journey is more important than the destination (at least in this case). We saw a lot of places that we didn't plan to see but that's the beauty of hitchhiking. In Split we decided to save money and we couchsurfed in a Erasmus students apartment. The next morning we took a morning bus again to Plitvice lakes and roamed around there. It's a beautiful place, if you have a chance go and visit it!
