I met Aleko and the Green’s family for the first time in April 2015. I arrived in Bulgaria through the EVS project, with a big suitcase, a master degree on my shoulders, high expectations of it from my family, and. .. fear of inadequacy. But at the time I was 26 and dying for things to start happening to me! I remember almost every single day of my first month in Momin Prohod: the old house, the typical food, the beautiful nature around us, the Bulgarian lessons, the camp fires, our daily activities, our incredible magic bus … Aleko is a tireless dreamer, an example of “believe in yourself and be positive”, a point of reference. I’ll always be grateful to him and to Green’s family for showing me how beautiful the world is when it’s green colored.
