Final comments

I had an amazing experience where I have learnt to be more independent, live everyday with many people and make a very nice group together. I implemented a lot my life experience and my languages. I will go back with a more open way of thinking and especially with many new unforgettable friends. I would suggest everybody to apply for the eramsus program.
