journey from istanbul to jerusalem | volunteering&interning
DESCRIPTION
Presentation about almost 5 months long journey without clear initial plan. I wanted to travel, stay abroad for a while, speak English, work in tourism marketing with commercial clients...and I eventually got it all. After travelling around Turkey and Balkan, volunteering in Slovenia, participating in Youth in Action program in Slovakia, I ended up interning in Abraham Hostel and Abraham Tours Jerusalem for 3 months. Presentation includes mostly photographs, some data about the whole journey and few tips for programs that would help you to get abroad and volunteer or intern there.TRANSCRIPT
