Discovery of the city

                                                      

Hi, my name is Samira. I’m 25 years old, and I’m from Azerbaijan.

Welcome to my "Volunteering Experience" blog! Here, I share my journey in social activities and cultural events in Turkey. My volunteering focuses on managing social media, organizing workshops, hosting different events, and running speaking clubs for people to come together. Additionally, we work with children, creating programs that inspire learning and growth. Through my work in the city, I want to share useful ideas on community involvement and its impact. We have also joined a European exchange program that helped us learn from different countries and cultures. I'm excited to share stories from this journey and how it improved my understanding of the world.

During the volunteer period, we both work and have the chance to explore Turkey.

In fact, during our time in Turkey, we had the chance to go to Izmir during Ramadan, and I would like to tell you about my Izmir memories.

During my trip to Izmir, I visited some amazing places that I'll never forget. The Izmir Clock Tower is a big, beautiful tower in the middle of Konak Square. I felt amazed standing near it.

I explored the Kemeraltı Bazaar, a busy market with lots of shops and narrow streets. It was like going back in time!

I took a ferry to Karşıyaka, where I saw the sea and walked along the Kordon, a path by the water. It was so peaceful. I went on a cable car ride to Balçova Teleferik and saw the city from high up. The view was incredible! The Arkas Art Center had lots of interesting art. I felt inspired by the paintings and sculptures.

Konak Meydanı was a busy square with old buildings. It was fun to watch people and see the city. These were just some of the cool things I did in Izmir. It was an awesome trip! As I finish the first month of my European exchange program in Turkey, I'm looking forward to the second month. I believe it will bring even more interesting experiences and learning opportunities. Thank you for visiting "Volunteering Experience." I hope you enjoy the content.
