I was sitting, waiting and reading when a young lady smiled, checked the seat number and sat next to me. Few seconds passed and I was again lost reading one of the latest publications of AEGEE. But that wasn't meant to be as the young lady asked "Hi, Are you in AEGEE ?" A moment of surprise came in. I was sure she didn't knew me but she recognised the publication, she recognised AEGEE !!
As we went into conversation I smiled at how life can sometimes turnout more interesting than we ever expect. Two secretary generals of AEGEE-Valletta had to meet up on the same plane, book a seat next to each other without even knowing each other.
...And that's how my trip to Maastricht started.
After four and half hours travelling, finally I arrived in Maastricht. The city that saw the birth of the European Union. The city that is the centre of education, tradition, history and culture.
As I got out of the train station and met Lisa, I started orienting myself to this Dutch city. A small city in the south of Holland. I was there to represent AEGEE at the Student Forum Maastricht titled 'Drafting the European Vision'.
..and we actually did. It was an interesting week full of workshops, debates and lectures mixed with cultural tours, beer tasting, partying and amongst all meeting amazing people which now I call friends.
euch.
