Hello, my name is Chloé but my friends call me Michaux or Mich. I’m 20 and I’m from France, more precisely from the Alps (the mountains haha). I lived for two years in Nice, near the sea, for my environmental studies. I decided to stop in December 2023 because it no longer corresponded to what I wanted to do with my life.
I decided to volunteer at Udruga IKS because that’s what I’m looking for right now, to find my purpose and live new experiences. I’d like to restart my studies, probably in social work if I like the experience, in September 2025. Coming to Croatia is a challenge for me because it’s my first international trip on my own and I don’t speak English very well, so I’m counting on this experience to bring me maybe some personal pride or feeling useful.
In life I like many things : partying, dancing, singing, reading, meeting new people, going to festivals, volunteering, cooking and eating… I also enjoy hiking, climbing, skiing, diving and freediving. I’m just as comfortable in the city with lots of people around as I am alone in nature with just animals haha.
I can’t wait to spend these two months here and get to know all the people who make the association alive 🙂

Bok, zovem se Chloé, ali me prijatelji zovu Michaux ili Mich. Imam 20 godina i dolazim iz Francuske, točnije iz Alpa (planine haha). Živjela sam dvije godine u Nici, blizu mora, gdje sam studirala okolišne znanosti. Odlučila sam prekinuti studij u prosincu 2023. jer više nije odgovarao onome što želim raditi u životu.
Odlučila sam volontirati u Udruzi IKS jer je to ono što trenutno tražim – pronaći svoj smisao i doživjeti nova iskustva. Voljela bih ponovno početi studirati, vjerojatno socijalni rad, ako mi se svidi ovo iskustvo, u rujnu 2025. Dolazak u Hrvatsku je izazov za mene jer mi je ovo prvo međunarodno putovanje samostalno, a engleski ne govorim baš dobro, pa računam na ovo iskustvo da mi donese možda osobni ponos ili osjećaj korisnosti.
U životu volim puno stvari: zabave, plesanje, pjevanje, čitanje, upoznavanje novih ljudi, odlazak na festivale, volontiranje, kuhanje i jedenje… Također uživam u planinarenju, penjanju, skijanju, ronjenju i slobodnom ronjenju. Jednako mi je ugodno u gradu s puno ljudi kao i sama u prirodi s životinjama haha.
Jedva čekam provesti ova dva mjeseca ovdje i upoznati sve ljude koji čine udrugu živom 🙂
