Hello there! My name is Manon, I’m 22 years old and from Paris in France. I’ve just finished my Master’s degree in European Affairs, and I’m passionate about everything that helps people connect, like ideas, cultures, stories. That’s probably what led me to study Europe, and now, to come here.
After years of studying, I wanted to take a step outside the classroom and into real life. Volunteering felt like the perfect way to explore new cultures, challenge myself, improve my English, and discover Croatia, a country I’ve always wanted to visit. It’s my first time living abroad on my own and for two months, and I can’t wait to grow through this experience and become more independent.
I see myself as a sociable, curious, and adventurous person, always up for new experiences. I really enjoy hiking and traveling, especially to discover new places, beautiful landscapes, and to meet people from all around the world.
In the future, I’d love to work in European communication, hopefully in a way that feels useful and meaningful. But for now, I just want to continue to travel, discover, improve myself in English, and probably get my driver’s license too (one day, at least!).
Bok! Zovem se Manon, imam 22 godine i dolazim iz Pariza, Francuska. Upravo sam završila magistarski studij u European Affairs, a strastvena sam oko svega što povezuje ljude – ideja, kultura, priča. Vjerojatno me upravo to i odvelo da studiram Europu, a sada i da dođem ovdje.
Nakon godina provedenih u učenju, željela sam napraviti korak izvan učionice i zakoračiti u stvarni život. Volontiranje mi se činilo kao savršen način da upoznam nove kulture, izazovem samu sebe, poboljšam engleski i otkrijem Hrvatsku, zemlju koju sam oduvijek željela posjetiti. Ovo mi je prvi put da živim sama u inozemstvu, i to dva mjeseca, i jedva čekam rasti kroz ovo iskustvo i postati samostalnija.
Smatram sebe društvenom, znatiželjnom i avanturističkom osobom, uvijek spremnom za nova iskustva. Jako volim planinarenje i putovanja, osobito kako bih otkrivala nova mjesta, prekrasne krajolike i upoznavala ljude iz cijelog svijeta.
U budućnosti bih voljela raditi u području europske komunikacije na način koji je koristan i smislen. Za sada želim nastaviti putovati, otkrivati, usavršavati engleski i, jednog dana, položiti vozački ispit.
