GEYC : Group of the European youth for change




I can’t believe that my GEYexperience as a New media ambassador is coming to an end,  the team was amazing and everything went as expected and even better than expected regarding some tasks . Group work is something that I highly recommend, needless to say when it is about working in a multicultural team  with amazing managers like Gabriel and Diana .

The tasks aren’t hard and the internship is accessible to anyone , add to that the fact that it is an online internship which means it will only take of your time  around 10 to 15 hours per weeks and you’ll be doing the tasks from the comfort of your couch .
Meanwhile we are having a contest running for a while now , which is pretty simple 
FIND ( one of our resources here
TEST it on your laptop of phone

And you can WIN a prize (the names of  the Winners will be announced on our fanpage)

NOTE : the applications are open for the 4th and 5th edition of the internship . Take a look and give it a chance . you won’t regret it

Out of My comfort zone : A Secret Paradise

As Ibn batutta said " travelling leaves you speechless then turns you into a storyteller
I believe that my Trip to England left me speechless for  over a  year or so , I had what we call an overwhelming experience  that left me unable to express myself through words instead I was just posting pictures of the places i visited but I  believe that it is high time to write about it now.

In 2012 I decided to travel abroad for the very First time  away from my home country and away from my continent . In my home University I m majoring  in English language , civilization and   Literature so England  was a perfect and interesting  Destination  for me because it will benefit me educationally and culturally add to that the fun i can get from being in a cosmopolitan area.

 My main Destination was Worthing , West sussex but I had the chance to visit London for 3 days (separately) , those days ranged from visiting Buckingham Palace ,  Oxford street , the British museum , the London eye to visiting Convent Garden market and streets  and Neal's yard which happened to be my favorite spot in central London . I visited Uxbridge (the home of Brunel University) for a couple of hours but i haven't seen much of it . 

Me and my  group arrived to Heathrow Airport Late on the afternoon of September 15th , 2012 a Taxi was waiting for us to take us to our main destination .
The following day we visited London for the First time , we woke up early to take the  train to London Victoria ,  it was a planned day visit ; we had  the chance to see  the changing of the Guards In front of Buckingham palace  , the British museum with its surreal amount of history stuffed inside of its walls and Covent Garden with its street performers and market  . 

As soon as i was able to split from the group I  went to explore what i call now  my Favorite spot "Neal's yard"  you might want to know what's special about it , well the Atmosphere of the yard is so relaxed it has a hippie and spiritual flavor that i always look for , So  in order to get to Neal's yard i had to go down the same road several times without noticing the narrow alleyways that leads to this sort of secret Garden, even though i asked a lot of Locals to show me the way their answers were all negative until i stumbled on the right alleyway by myself   , As soon as I set foot in the yard I was  overwhelmed  with the Zen-attitude that the colors bring to my mind and being.  It has a bunch of cool Pubs and restaurants and i happened to find a North African Restaurant which was Great  to satisfy my tummy  haha! the existence of unconventional  meeting rooms, a bookshop ,a hairdresser ,a wholefood shop and  alternative therapy rooms  accentuate the Zen-attitude .  All in all Neal's yard can be considerate as an Alternative and healthy place away from the hassle and bustle of central London or as   "a discreet little heaven in the center of London" other than that visiting the yard was a blast  after a long day of educational and cultural visits.

 Neal’s Yard is three minutes away  from Covent Garden tube station (on your right you'll find street performers and the market , on your left you'll find an attractive colorful building follow that way until you reach  Neal street and consequently  Neal's yard ) and five minutes from Leicester Tube station I  will leave you now with few pictures and if you have any inquiries or questions feel free to contact me .

Out of my comfort zone: Worthing September 2012

Its been almost 2 years since i didn't "long in" to my blog and it seems kinda weird !
2 years without publishing anything ! 

 Let's get back on track and start this article with a quote  " traveling __ Leaves you speechless , then turns you into a storyteller . -Ibn batuta-

Here is my Worthing , Uk experience . (September 2012)

I'll leave you with a Poem that i already wrote a couple of months ago ,tonight, until I write another article about my Whole experience in England.

For worthing 


worthing i'm homesick and torn 
can someone be homesick to a place other than his real home town ?
Missing your roads
Missing your winds when it blows 
Taking a stroll down the Pier 
Even late at night i had no fear
Missing your restaurants and pubs 
Yearning to spend a Saturday night at club ten  
Or a Friday evening at forty two rock pub
Missing you like hell;
That's why i'm holding a paper and a pen 
Trying to write about you with what i can 
Trying to make people see the beauty that i saw in you and be a fan 
They say " home is where the heart is" ;
I want to say this 
I'm writing this for you 
To every corner I've been to
From Lyndhurst Road to the Dome 
From West park to the Ocean's foam
All i can do is bow 
To you in wow 
Keep on remembering you as i grow 
You are a part of me wherever i go
I left my heart near homefield park,
While strolling in the dark.
Your nights are calm and bright .
I want to take the next flight and be in your arms by daylight.
