Activities i am interested in:
Hi there! I’m currently based in Fes, Morocco. I’m always up for meaningful adventures, whether it’s hiking, camping, cultural sightseeing, or just having deep conversations over tea.
Description
My name is Adnane, and I’m a final-year medical student deeply inspired by service, knowledge, and meaningful human connection. What inspires me most is the opportunity to make a real difference in people’s lives—whether through medicine, volunteering, or simply sharing a moment of empathy. My purpose in life is to serve, learn, and grow continuously—not only as a future surgeon, but as a human being committed to both science and spirituality.

Traveling, for me, is more than just discovering new places—it's a journey of self-discovery and connection. Whether it's solo trips or adventures with friends, sleeping under the stars, or cooking over a fire, exploring my country has taught me humility, resilience, and appreciation for simplicity. Each journey refreshes my soul and reminds me of the beauty in diversity, nature, and shared experiences.

Salam! I’m Adnane, a final-year medical student from Morocco with a passion for helping others, discovering new cultures, and learning through experience. I’m hardworking, adaptable, and always eager to lend a hand wherever it’s needed. I’ve volunteered with local associations and scout groups, helped organize community events and medical caravans, and gained hands-on experience through various jobs—from traditional handicrafts to online sales and customer service.

I enjoy writing in my free time, and I also have some basic skills in managing social media accounts. I’m very active and love sports and physical activities, so I’m always happy to help with outdoor work, organizing activities, or anything that requires energy and teamwork. Whether it’s working with people, helping around the house, or supporting community projects, I’m motivated, positive, and ready to contribute however I can.

What else ...
Volunteering has always been an important part of my life. I’ve been actively involved in several local associations and clubs, especially scout associations, where I’ve helped organize weekly activities for the local community and participated in summer camps for children. I’ve also contributed to the organization of major local events, such as marathons and cultural festivals. As a medical student, I’ve taken part in numerous medical caravans, providing essential healthcare services to people in remote and underserved areas. These experiences have taught me teamwork, leadership, and the value of serving others with compassion and commitment.

Left by Workawayer () for host (Enjoy water sport activities ...)

My experience volunteering here was a mix of positive and challenging aspects.

Before my arrival, the team was helpful and provided clear guidance on how to reach the water sports center. Upon getting there, I was shown to my accommodation, which was a container (as in description). Unfortunately, it had not been cleaned or aired out beforehand,… read more giving the impression that preparations for our arrival had been overlooked, despite the team being aware of our scheduled arrival.

On a positive note, the food was excellent. All meals were shared in a communal canteen with hotel and surf staff, and the quality was consistently high. The infrastructure of the center was solid, and the natural surroundings were truly beautiful.

As volunteers, we assisted with children's activities such as catamaran sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding. I enjoyed interacting with the children and appreciated that the instructors took time to teach us basic water sports skills before the camps began, and also some sessions during the kids camp in our free time. However, I hadn’t anticipated how physically demanding it would be to lift and move equipment like kayaks and catamarans; it was more exhausting than expected.

There were a few downsides that affected my overall experience :

- The location is quite remote, with very limited transportation options, especially in the evenings. The work schedule was irregular due to the reliance on wind conditions, and tasks were scattered throughout the day, making it difficult to plan personal time or explore the area. Days off rotated weekly, which, coupled with transport limitations, made it hard to enjoy that free time fully.

- Internet access was also a concern in the first week. Although the description mentioned unlimited Wi-Fi, the connection was only available in certain areas. Thankfully, this was resolved shortly before I left, and I was able to use the internet from my room, which made things much more convenient.

- What affected me most, however, was the lack of social interaction. After working hours, most staff and instructors kept to themselves. I often felt isolated, particularly in the evenings. While I got along well with the other volunteers, the overall atmosphere felt lonely. The language barrier also contributed to this feeling; most staff spoke Turkish among themselves, which made it hard to feel fully included.

- In the end, I decided to leave a week earlier than planned, as I did not feel entirely comfortable or fulfilled. I believe this volunteering opportunity has great potential, but it could be significantly improved with better communication, more structured scheduling, and a greater effort to foster an inclusive and socially engaging environment for volunteers.
