Description

Hi,

My name is Julien, I’m 21 years old, I come from Paris, but my roots are in Brittany , from a small town called Trégastel in the north of France.

I’ve just finished my studies and I want to live an experience abroad to discover a new culture, become more independent and improve my English, it’s not perfect yet, and that’s exactly why I want to go !

People say I’m friendly, sociable, always smiling and motivated. I enjoy helping others and meeting new people. I’ve had a few professional experiences: I worked as a sales advisor in a retail shop for 6 months, and now I work as a business developer in a small company. These jobs helped me develop a strong sense of customer service, adaptability and communication skills.

I was also a scout for several years, which taught me teamwork, how to be resourceful, and how to enjoy long walks and outdoor activities. I really like being in nature, doing manual tasks, and I’m never afraid to get my hands dirty.

I love music I play a bit of guitar and piano and I also enjoy drawing and painting from time to time (even though I’m far from being an artist!). I’m curious and always open to learning new things. I love cooking and sharing simple and genuine moments with others.

I studied digital marketing and communication, so I’m comfortable with social media, website creation and digital tools in general. I’d be happy to help with these skills if needed.

Now I’m looking for a cultural exchange in a human, dynamic environment where I can contribute, help out, and grow. I know I still have a lot to learn, but I’m motivated and ready to adapt to a new way of life.

Thanks for reading, I’d be happy to talk more about my background, experiences, or anything else you’d like to know!

More details about my language interests
Yes, I’m very interested in improving my English during my stay. I would love to practice through everyday conversations, helping with activities, or simply chatting with other volunteers and guests. Speaking and listening regularly is exactly what I’m looking for ! In exchange, I’d be happy to help anyone who wants to learn or practice French, I can support with basics, pronunciation or everyday expressions.
