Chatbox - 5th Edition: Review

Long time no see, dear friends. Hope you're all OK and had an amazing vacation. Eat some chocolate in case you're experiencing Post Vacation Stress Disorder.  For those who didn't know, shame on them... On the 23th of August, Pro Tineret Vest NGO organized the 5th event from the beloved Chatbox project.

It gets cheesy but, I swear, this was probably the best event so far. Last month's theme was about recent travels, dream locations and cultural shocks. It also came with a big name, "World Adventures", and a lot of firsts for our organization like the first event fully spoken in an foreign language and the first one that had international guests. Chatboxers had the chance to make new friends from Italy, Brazil and UK. How about that!? 

In this edition our guests had the possibility to learn a couple of tips and tricks from how to pack you luggage, what clothes to bring, technology and toiletries (I love this word. Toiletries, hehe!). We had a little geography session, some sort of touchy confessions  on a Google map. Favorite countries and cities, concrete kissers and farm fans... Farm fans!? Dear Barbara, the things you guys want to experience... Tsk, tsk...

Of course the winner was London. Everybody wants to go singing in the rain and dancing in the nearest muddy slop. Oh well, enjoy the grey and feel the clouds. Kidding! :) 

My dream is to kiss the asphalt of New York, get lost in Time Square and feed the pigeons in Central Park. Drinking some Starbucks and getting fat from American hotdogs may be also in the package, but you don't need to know that...

Anywho, lots of great ideas for upcoming trips. Those personal experiences were really awesome! We got the chance to know more about indie traveling, thanks to our speaker and BootsnAll representative, Cristina Pușcaș, also a feeling of being an Erasmus student from Alessandro Di Salvo, Andreea Vasi, Ovidiu Bogdan and me, of course. AIESEC came strong with their amazing oportunities from their Global Internship program, which we deeply recommend. Sadly, we didn't have the time to talk about Youth exchanges and EVS but hey, there's always a next time. Right? 

Keep in mind, if you want to travel and have a great experience, indie traveling and youth exchanges are more than useful. If you want a long therm abroad experience you have no excuse to not be an Erasmus student, an EVS volunteer or an intern at a company anywhere in world with the help of AIESEC Arad. Send us an e-mail if you're interested to change your life! ;) 

These been said, see you at the 6th edition of Chatbox on the 27th of September. The official announcement should be posted soon. Those bloody monkey are in vacation... Sending lots of hugs and kisses to all of you. Don't forget to get inspired by who you honor and love, and definitely believe in yourselves and conquer your dreams. Ciao! ;) 

A lot of pictures here and here. Check out the first part and the second part of our video, made by Alex Puşcaş. Thank you for being such a great friend and always being around us and helping out. We love you!
