Nervous .Heart’s beat raising Expectation.Mood of the traveler when he is about to get acquainted with the new world .My experience to a place called Shakpak ata in South part of Kazakhstan lasted for 3 months and it started on 1 of June 2017.After packing needs ,a new place greeted me with breathtaking landscape and really good vibes .This place is eminent for its surrounding by lakes ,mountains ,fresh air , specifically different good odor.It was sort of an education for city boys and girls like me .To begin with ,we went on climbing to a mountain .At each trip they gave us a mission ,if we got it right ,they were prizes .My idea was to depict a feeling and a story of our world through a picture .Feeling of a warm wind touching your hair and hand by gentle moves ,made me feel spirited and free after all.Calm voices ,meditating in the hill ,surely can raise your inner values .What I saw in that place was indescribable.Rounded like a three brothers laying on the earth ,each of them supporting one another ,the sun like a reliable friend which never betrays by raising every day from this place .A days full of rhythm and never stop working insects like a human .Nights covered with silence ,sparkling stars in the sky ,dark nights that were bright than my future is .The grass was so soft ,sound funny but the insects were friendly to us by not biting .A mountain where a balance of nature preserved .I drew a picture of a hard working to reach the highness mankind,from the bottom to the top which depicted a real story of us.When you are doing your best to reach it ,you do forget the meaning ,value of your job.This peak did not have a name ,that is why I named it “The Brotherhood”.Day by day,I felt connected with everything around me .Successfully experienced and got along with Mother Nature.I described myself in the end of a memorable voyage .I marked out specially this tour guide ,cause I was impressed how simple things can give you immense power to understand yourself .We educated on theoretical part in first month ,following by practical ,and turning into action. I am glad that we are able to communicate with elderly people .Opening of volunteering was an enormous help for them.New homes ,grandma and grandpas ,delivering fresh vegetables and helping with gardening .Actually ,this travel made progress in everyone of us .Another amusing moment had happened when we went to swimming .3 hours of ride I thought at first ,far and seemingly boring 180 minutes .Nevertheless ,the beauty place Kokterek did overcome my expectations .Gigantic ocean where you can see a bottom,ocean blue hard to believe clean neatly water ,3,5 meters of depth ,small waves that helped to reach destination .Boating with a guide ,rowing through warm ,obedient sources of life .Being empowered with what nature gived us .This time i made a story cause i have a good scope of imagination .Every step on sand ,every diving into water made extra food for thought . Oceans can keep secrets better than anyone .Then why did people wrote on a paper their wishes or messages to loved ones ,throwing it in a bottle ,go on believing that ocean can make it true .Once in a time they were stories going on with saying,ocean or any kind of water can talk and are able to make wishes real.We had grown on a tale where a sailor found a golden fish .The fish was like a fairy ,he is limited to three wishes .After that everyone started to pay attention to water sources .It was a big deal to a ordinary girl like me ,be in a desirable place of millions .Guess what i did ?I composed a poem ,threw it onto ocean ,and some of came true .It goes like : Monday till Friday , don’t include Sunday,saturday ,a trip lasting 90 days ,made myself proud of , some time struggling ,some time finding ,myself in dozens of miles , where time was tick-tacking ,showing fast going timing ,to mention about growing ,it was guiding ,meaning of a trip ,turned into travelling ,at first we are all strangers ,lost and grounded ,not to free to feel or speak up our suffrage ,more to come ,waiting aimlessly ,hoping for a brightness ,make a change they said so ,not easy to handle ,hard to breath ,live and eat ,feeling undeserved ,that’s what I was before voyaging ,keeped calm ,detected a purpose of life ,trip four syllables ,deep meaning ,stuck in head ,good precious moments ,thanks for the surrounding .
