Description

Hi there,

I’m a 21-year-old student in Psychology at the University of Liverpool.
I am very curious, I love challenges and I'm adventurous, so I decided to leave my country (France) and study abroad. I lived in Liverpool for 2 years, where I didn’t know anyone at the beginning, neither the language nor the culture. I really loved this experience. I've learnt so many things about myself and people in general. I'm easy and sociable so I'm comfortable traveling, meeting new persons, and learning about new cultures, I actually love it and I get along well with people quite easily!

I like taking care of people. I helped an elderly person for 4 months. He was suffering from Parkinson disease, so I was an elderly companion to him, aiding him with his wheelchair and talking about history, poetry, and other broad subjects. Thanks to this experience and to my bachelor’s degree (Psychology) I realized how much I like being there for people, being patient, empathetic and helping even if it’s just listening to them.

I love traveling, I went to New Zealand for 1 month when I was 16, and to Austria for a language exchange. I also did a road trip in the US, and I went on a trip in Ireland where I was cycling every day from town to town!

I, then decided to take a gap year to explore parts of the world that I don't know (yet :) especially Europe and the Northern countries.
I chose to go to Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, and Estonia.
