This summer was quite unusual in
comparing with all other. All started in one of the most beautiful places I
have ever seen - Cyprus.
In my mother country summer seems not
like real summer, so because of that I decided to go somewhere, where I will be
able to feel real spirit of summer, and of course feel the real work practice
abroad. I found UNDP program, field in all necessary documents to have internship,
and I went to Cyprus, Limassol.
Trodos, Cyprus
It was something that is very difficult
to describe, because I hadn’t had something similar to that before.
I am studying at Vilniaus College, University
of Applied Sciences, Management of Cultural activities. I applied to work at
ShipCon Limassol Ltd., where I had all possibilities to try myself and to see
what I really can. This company is a leading research and consultancy
organization, providing a lot of different services to clients.
Almost every day I worked at the office,
where I had a lot of things to do. Usually I was there with my lovely director
Agnieshka, Stratos and Martina, and two another trainees from Lithuania. All of
us were all the time very busy. We were searching for partners, writing
projects, communicating with foreigners and taking part in different kinds of
projects. It is pleasant that I had a lot of things to do, because of that I
was able to feel what means to work hard and be happy of the results of the
work.

The most pleasant memories of working
part were when we had to implement “Youth in Action” project. We were doing all
organizational work, communicating with participants, going to excursion
together with them and had really nice time.

All working staff I was working with was
so friendly, polite and hospitable. They were very helpful. If I had troubles,
or just if I asked them for something, they always were open to help me. We had
a lot of time together, because of that we became like one small family, with
our own happiness, deals and troubles. We were going out together,
communicating, joking and having fun. I am completely happy that I was working
in that organization. They taught me how to be strong, how to reach my own
goals and how to never give up.

In the first days living in Cyprus was
real challenge. It was very difficult to adapt to the hot weather, because in
Lithuania maximum temperature in summer time is 30 degrees, when in Cyprus it
was approximately 38-40. But 2 weeks later I adapt, and I feel in love in
Cyprus weather. Also I feel in love in Mediterranean Sea, mountains, Cypriots,
all cities where I have been, and all islands at all. If someone ask me, if I
had another chance to go there, without any doubts I would say YES.
