Although we were supposed to record a podcast with the other participants\u2014both experienced and inexperienced\u2014the whole thing revolved around the theme of working with young people. There we met some wonderful people who became friends, and we'll see most of them again in May at a youth exchange.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/argonauta.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fotos-para-el-blog-19.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-57845 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/argonauta.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fotos-para-el-blog-19.png 1280w, https:\/\/argonauta.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fotos-para-el-blog-19-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/argonauta.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fotos-para-el-blog-19-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/argonauta.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fotos-para-el-blog-19-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/argonauta.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fotos-para-el-blog-19-18x10.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/> \u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for my personal life,<\/span>I continued to try out baking recipes: I baked bread and flour tortillas a few times.
