My name is Doriane, I’m 23 years old, and I’m French.
I followed a very ordinary educational path: I graduated with a high school diploma, a BTS, and a bachelor’s degree in human
resources. I have never found a job in human resources because employers believe I lack professional experience in the field.
Due to financial need, I found a job as a waitress in a restaurant. After a few months, I became a manager there, but I decided to leave
because it wasn’t the right fit for me.
I’ve always been very calm, in my world, and extremely shy. Working in the restaurant industry has helped me a lot with my
shyness, although I’m still shy today. I’m very much a homebody, and I struggle to go out alone to do the daily tasks of life, so thank
you to my sister for always being there for me! I’ve always enjoyed helping the people around me, listening to them, and giving them my time. This year, I decided it was time to pursue a project I’ve always considered. So, without hesitation, I accepted a mission in Croatia. The best part is that I learned it’s mostly for children, so I jumped at the opportunity!
This is the first time I’m leaving home, alone. I was very scared, I stressed a lot, I stressed all the time! I hope this experience will be
rewarding in terms of discovering a new environment, a new culture, new people… and also rewarding for me, as I’ll be able to give
my time to people who need it, but also to discover myself, overcome my fear of the unknown, push myself beyond my limits, and
finally return home with beautiful smiles in my mind and, I hope, more self-confidence! This experience is a real challenge for me,
and I will give my best. 
I would like to thank you for your warm welcome and your support, which makes you truly kind, reassuring people, and WHOOOAA,
it feels so good!
I’m a bit stressed about the arrival of my roommate because I hope that we’ll get along well and that the shared living situation will
go smoothly. We are different and don’t necessarily share the same interests, but I hope everything will be fine, and that our
differences will be a strength!

Moje ime je Doriane, imam 23 godine i Francuskinja sam.
Slijedila sam vrlo uobičajen obrazovni put: završila sam srednju školu, BTS i preddiplomski studij iz ljudskih resursa. Nikada nisam pronašla posao u ljudskim resursima jer poslodavci smatraju da nemam dovoljno profesionalnog iskustva u tom području. Zbog financijskih razloga pronašla sam posao kao konobarica u restoranu. Nakon nekoliko mjeseci postala sam menadžerica, ali sam odlučila otići jer to nije bilo pravo mjesto za mene.
Oduvijek sam bila vrlo smirena, u svom svijetu i iznimno sramežljiva. Rad u ugostiteljstvu mi je puno pomogao u prevladavanju sramežljivosti, iako sam još uvijek pomalo sramežljiva. Vrlo sam vezana za dom i teško mi je sama izlaziti i obavljati svakodnevne zadatke, pa hvala mojoj sestri što je uvijek uz mene! Oduvijek sam voljela pomagati ljudima oko sebe, slušati ih i posvetiti im svoje vrijeme. Ove godine odlučila sam ostvariti projekt o kojem sam dugo razmišljala. Bez oklijevanja prihvatila sam misiju u Hrvatskoj. Najbolji dio je što ću raditi uglavnom s djecom, pa sam odmah prihvatila priliku!
Ovo je prvi put da napuštam svoj dom, potpuno sama. Bila sam jako uplašena, jako sam se stresirala, stresirala sam se stalno! Nadam se da će ovo iskustvo biti obogaćujuće – u smislu otkrivanja novog okruženja, nove kulture, novih ljudi… ali i za mene osobno, jer ću moći posvetiti svoje vrijeme onima kojima je potrebno, ali i otkriti sebe, pobijediti strah od nepoznatog, pomaknuti vlastite granice i vratiti se kući s predivnim osmijesima u mislima i, nadam se, s više samopouzdanja! Ovo iskustvo je pravi izazov za mene i dat ću sve od sebe.
Želim vam zahvaliti na toploj dobrodošlici i podršci – stvarno ste ljubazni i puni razumijevanja, i WHOOOAA, tako mi je to trebalo!
Pomalo sam pod stresom zbog dolaska svoje cimerice jer se nadam da ćemo se dobro slagati i da će zajednički život teći glatko. Različite smo i nemamo nužno iste interese, ali se nadam da će sve biti u redu i da će naše razlike biti naša snaga!
