“In one day, I passed over 4549 km, so as to witness the miracle of Porto streets, to study inside hospitable walls of the Faculty of Philology of the University of Porto, to make good friends at various events and during the excursions organized by Erasmus Student’s Council. I will get acquainted with members of a new family and I will live in their house.  I will remember about all these things, throughout my life. I will come here as an individual, but I will present a whole nation. Armenia is my homeland and Portugal is the country of my heart. The Erasmus + programme has helped me to become more experienced, by giving me an opportunity to learn what is impossible to learn at any university, or find in any book, ” says Lusine Manukyan, who has studied at the Faculty of Philology of the University of Porto, in the context of the Mobility Programme, in 2017.
