Overcome your fears

Olá, I'm Giovanna, an italian student of 23 years old, currently in Viana do Castelo, Portugal. How did it happen? we can say the desire to help others, of independence and growth, and lots and lots of courage. Until a few years ago I never even thought I would be able to do something like this. I was overwhelmed by fear, dreaming in my room of one day being able to have an experience abroad.

My first holidays to Lisboa and Lagos where I had my first backpacking experience and met Genia, now my new friend from Indonesia. ... Doing gardening in AJD and discovering the communication part of AJD. ... Get to know to the Ludoteca space when the kids arrive after their school day. ...
