Your life begins at the end of your comfort zone
Being an advocate of the lifelong learning philosophy, I follow the notion that our whole life journey is ultimately strongly defined by our personal experiences, rather than education. I thereby believe, that a one week of - out of your comfort zone - adventure is as valuable as 10 years of university studies.
We live in the information era where access to any kind of opportunity is just one mouse click away and mobility programs such as Erasmus, provided to millions the right of travelling, to get to know different cultures, develop mutual understanding, and vanish the invisible borders between people of different nationalities, sex, religion or age. It comes by no surprise we are being described the Erasmus generation. However, the amount of people being aware of the opportunities they are aligible for, is inversely proportional to the amount of opportunities.
On that basis, by researching, trying and evaluating various experiences, a valuable database of opportunities has been created, which I would then like to share it with you, with the hope of you leaving this website a bit more motivated to explore, than how you first visited it :) .

NOTES
1. Although the information regards International or European Opportunities, some of the sections will be tailored to fit my home countries: Cyprus and Greece.
2. Also, because of my background, perhaps the (career-related) content of the website is a bit biased towards the engineering section.
3. In spite of being passionate with technology, I am a strict judge of its impact and especially of the social media’s impact on today’s society.
However, I do believe that if used properly, social media can be an important ally of us. Thus, in the website you may find some URLs linking to social media pages. This is because, given that we are all familiar with these, if they are used to create a personalized timeline of opportunities, job openings, or interesting articles’ posts, you may increase the stimuli that will guide you towards a potential explorative and fulfilling career path.
Find the pages that you like and check the "See first" option, subscribe to your preferred websites, bookmark interesting sites-articles. Make your daily feed, perfectly tailored for you.
