Your testimonial, the full version
The whole experience for me was life changing. I didn’t just explore a different country or adapt to a new environment. I found parts of myself I never knew existed. I met a new version of me. A woman who stands a little taller, speaks a little louder, believes a little more. A woman who is confident, independent, and unafraid to chase exactly what she desires.

In the beginning, I didn’t even know what ESN was. I walked in uncertain, shy, curious… and somehow, step by step, it became the place where I grew, healed, and transformed.

And now, two years after my mobility, here I am, the Communication Manager of ESN KAPA Athens 25/26.

Sometimes I look back and can’t believe how far I’ve come. How this once-strange world became my home, my community, my story. I love everything about it… but most of all, I love the version of myself that this journey gave me.

The one I never thought I could become.
The one I’m finally proud of.

Your topic-specific testimonial
Stepping out of my comfort zone wasn’t easy. I was so used to my courses back home that, even though I had similar classes abroad, everything felt different. New faces, new expectations, a new rhythm of life. At first, it scared me. But soon, I realized what a privilege it was to be an Erasmus student in that university.

The professors weren’t just teachers, they were kind, patient guides who made me feel seen. And the students… they were so curious about me, so warm. They invited me into their world with genuine smiles and endless conversations. We studied together, laughed together, shared moments that felt small at the time but mean everything to me now.

And then, one day, the place I had come to call home for six beautiful months… I had to leave it behind.

I will never forget the library. It wasn’t just a building; it was my sanctuary. I can still picture the quiet corners, the soft light, the peaceful hum of people working around me. Sometimes I even dream of myself sitting there, studying as if time had never moved on.

Some goodbyes stay with you forever.
And this one still holds a piece of my heart.
