My first month in Kryoneri as an ESC volunteer

γεια σας & hallo!

My name is Clara Bredow and I am a short term volunteer in Kryoneri, Korinthias.

I am from Frankfurt, Germany and I am doing a “Gap Year“ before I start university. Spontaneously I have been given the opportunity for an European Voluntary Service, for which I am very grateful. I have only been here for one month and I have already experienced so many new things. I live together with 3 other Germans in the beautiful Hostel Elisson, where we spend most of our free time together.
