Dear Steemiters,
recently I returned home from my 5 months work experience, which I attend in Austria. Someone of you may ask what the Erasmus+ is. Well, Erasmus+ is the European Union program for education, training, and sport. It currently runs for 7 years, which is from 2014 to 2020, every year are organizations from whole EU invited to join the program, to attend different activies.

Everyone who are students, teachers or volunteers are able to join the program.

But back to my experience. I started my experience in 15.11.2016, when me and my group of friends, we set out to Austria, to the city called Villach, which is located in the south of Austria.

On our journey to Villach, we passed whole Austria, since we started in Prague, Czech Republic.

When we finally got to place, me and my friends got send to several places in Villach. Some of them were working in Restaurant, and some of them were working in Coffee house.
I was working in Hotel post Villach. My duties were serving guests in the reception, or helping in the kitchen. If there was nothing to work, I asked for other things, because that's what I suppose to do.

The year very long time, and since I was still doing the same things, I always managed to find something positive.

(Am I sexy? :P)

In my free time, I rent a bike, which was avialable in the hotel, and went to discover the surrounding of the Villach, because I'm an adventurer, and I like to know the different culture and the leaving itself.

When I was in Villach for 4 months, I couldn't wait to be back at home, because it was a very long time. Everything was boring for me, and I still wanted to survive, because not a lot of people can attend an experience like this.
Life in Villach, and the whole work experience changed me a lot. I learned different things, and my communication with someone else is much better. I have strengthened myself in many ways, for example in Physically and mentally.
And in the last day of our work experience, we met up in a local bar, and celebrated how we survived the work experience.

I would like to thanks everyone, who read it all to here, and if you have any questions, fell free to ask them! :)
