HAZIR CHIARA ARNONE

I arrived in Isparta after two hard days, I only wanted to sleep and rest. Now I'm happy I haven't did
it. I'd never meet the beautiful people I stayed with that evening. Everyone has transmitted me the
happiness of meeting diversity and the desire to understand differences.
I've seen a side of Turkey I'd never imagine, I've enjoyed the breathtaking calm of these places.
Eğirdir was perfect, with its mountains and the lake, almost ethereal, so pure. Antalya was really
good too, but I've felt like home, the city was too similar to the Italian ones, and I didn't want to feel
home, I wanted only to breath a different air, a different life.
I've loved everything about this Erasmus, especially people: the family I've been with was an example
of kindness and love for the others, I really appreciated the way they treated me. And I have (I MUST)
say something about Duru: lovely, so sweet and friendly, always trying to make me feel good, even I
had just arrived and I couldn't say a word, even when we had got home and I saw I had to take my
shoes off. Her way to be herself permitted me to feel free to talk and to express myself. She has
made me meet a lot of people, like Delfin and Yağmur. They transmitted me the happiness I needed.
I'll never thank them enough. Martina, Pinelopi, Volkan, Furkan, Martin, Şule: I'll never forget them.
It was a great experience, I wish I shouldn't go.
