Besides the concrete thoughts concerning my travelling plans and hopes related to my future-work, I also imagined myself in a more idealistic way. First of all, I would alienate myself from my obsessive behavior towards my phone (and wi-fi!), I would eat healthier and refuse parties for a year in total. Yeah, that would totally do it! I would be the new improved version of myself. Sure.<\/p>\n<p>My time abroad became something more than I would have ever expected beforehand. I made new friends, I underwent through a lot and I was literally spending time far-away from my comfort-zone. I gained experiences that I will, in no doubt, remember forever.<\/p>\n<p>Besides all of that and even more, there was this tiny bit of me that never really changed \u2013 even though I was living in this tiny village in the middle of no-where, working with the sea turtles. My heart sank every time when the wi-fi went down. During my first night in my village I already spent the whole night drinking coco-locos with the locals. And I never got used to tico-time, the Costa Rican way of being late from absolutely everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>For all the volunteers in Finland and beyond. Time is yours, be you, try to make the most of it and remember to enjoy the ride!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5964 size-thumbnail\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/I_p\u00e4\u00e4kirjoitus_kuva-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/I_p\u00e4\u00e4kirjoitus_kuva-150x150.jpg 150w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/I_p\u00e4\u00e4kirjoitus_kuva-300x300.jpg 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/I_p\u00e4\u00e4kirjoitus_kuva.jpg 648w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Anna Ylitalo<br \/>\nMember of the Maailmanvaihto board who volunteered in Costa Rica\u00a0 in the season 2014\u201315<\/p>\n<h2>In the issue<\/h2>\n<p>2 Editorial: Jump Into the Unknown<br \/>\n3 P\u00e4\u00e4kirjoitu: Hyppy tuntemattomaan<br \/>\n5 Kutsu kev\u00e4tkokoukseen<br \/>\n6 Ajankohtaista<br \/>\nTeema: Arki \/ Theme: Everyday Life<br \/>\n&#8212; 9 Haaveena arjen vaihtaminen?
