Hej! My name is Zakaria. I'm 23 years old, and I come from Italy and Poland, and I'm a master's student in East European and Eurasian studies. I'm a new volunteer at Fjället, and I'm writing after my first month here! It's been quite intensive, but very positive: meeting lots of new people, finally living in my favourite country on...

55 dagar av kärlek Min upplevelse i Tirana Albanien har än så länge vart underbart. Att uppleva/förstå andra kulturer är något vi alla borde göra. för att förstå andras perspektiv och att vi alla ser på saker med annorlunda vinkel beroende på vart hur och med vilken kultur vi växte upp med. Den albanska kulturen är inte den enda vi...

Hej! Jag heter Wiking och volountörarbetar just nu i Tirana via Fjället på en organisation som heter Beyond Barriers Albania. Nått som har stått ut mycket för mig under vårt volountärarbete hittils har varit de enorma protesterna som i stunden fortfarande pågår i Albanien och Tirana. Protester som i början handlade om naturskydd som nu även...
Hello! / Hej! / Bok! It has been one and a half weeks since I arrived in Vrginmost, an idyllic little village in the heart of Croatia's countryside. However, in this short amount of time, I have experienced so much that it feels like I have been here for far longer. When I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by...

The week I spent in Stockholm was unforgettable, as not only I was able to reunite with all the friends I made along this journey who are also volunteers like me, but...

The most personal activity for me was indeed Italian night! On a random Saturday fjället became Napoli for a night! We danced to traditional Italian music, learned dance choreography from the most skilled Italian dancer in...

Before this experience, I did not really experience allophony in my daily life. I had travelled abroad and even lived one year and a half in Italy. However, I spoke some Italian and the language is very close to my mother tongue, which was a very prudent choice of mine. This time I am landing in a country where the...
March is here already and time is flying by at a frightening speed. A snap of fingers later and I just celebrated my 25 years old birthday here with new people that I do not dare to call friends yet. Beginning of new year and slowly winter fading away. For this occasion I could not avoid being a stereotypical...
As the first month of the year January is usually viewed as a heavy month full of thoughts about the future and what the year will be like. Of course our future is important, but we also need to think about the kids, and Fjället staff was super ready to take on this challenge during Planning Days!
We spent...
