I tried www.copy.ai today — an artificial intelligence content generator. I've been sceptical about such tools and this is the first time I've tried one out. I was shocked at how good the results were! It was almost impossible to think that the content was created in just 10 seconds by an AI tool.

I would like to encourage all young people from the EU to get out of their comfort zone and choose a volunteering project abroad with the European Solidarity Corps! I spent 10 amazing months in Almería, Spain, volunteering at a cultural organization. It was not always easy, but overall a great life-changing experience. I received my Youth Pass, which might help while applying for a job or any other similar projects. I want to share briefly my story as an inspiration for everyone who would like to move ...
