Description
Hello! My name is Emma, I’m a 20-year-old student from Paris looking for new experiences and meaningful cultural exchanges.
I’m a very open-minded and curious person. I love discovering new ways of living, meeting people from different backgrounds, and sharing experiences. I’m especially passionate about art and history, and I enjoy learning both through my studies and by stepping out of my comfort zone.
I have recently started studying art history and next year I would like to complement my studies by improving my Italian. My father’s family is originally from Italy, but I haven’t really had the opportunity to discover the country with them. I am deeply interested in Italian culture and lifestyle, and I have a real love for Italian art and culture.
I also really enjoy manual activities, living outdoors, and being in contact with nature, which I find very calming. I like creating things, helping out, and being involved in hands-on tasks.
I have two dogs and I love taking care of them.
I live with my family in Paris and have two much younger brothers, so I’m very comfortable around children and used to taking care of them. Alongside my studies, I work as a children’s entertainer, which has helped me develop patience, creativity, and a strong sense of responsibility. I’ve also worked for several months as a waitress in a restaurant, where I learned to be adaptable, organized, and comfortable working in busy environments.
I’m mainly looking for an opportunity to improve my Italian, as I’m currently learning it, but I’m fluent in both French and English, so I would be happy to help others practice these languages as well.
This is not my first cultural exchange experience. I have previously studied in London and Washington, where I lived with host families. These experiences taught me how to adapt easily, integrate into new environments, and embrace different lifestyles.
I’m really excited about the idea of sharing daily life, helping out, and creating a genuine cultural exchange together. I would love to be part of your home and contribute in any way I can!
Looking forward to hearing from you 😊
