Hello there, my name is Lydia. I am 20 years old, and I come from Paris and I am a law student.
I am currently volunteering in Croatia thanks to the European Solidarity Corps. I heard about the European Solidarity Corps thanks to the youth worker at the youth center that my father runs. I have several goals for this volunteering as go on an adventure. First of all, I want to open myself up more to the world, discover a new culture, a new cuisine, new people, but also to overcome my shyness. I also want to discover and evolve myself, that is to say, discover my limits, overcome my fears while growing mentally.
At first I was afraid of traveling alone, of going to a country where I don’t speak the language, but in the end I can meet new people and I can practice my English in order to develop it and above all to grow mentally, to be independent and have responsibilities.
I enjoy listening to music, reading, walking around the vegetation, ski and I have recently developed a passion for cooking.
I am a sociable and smiling person but very empathetic and sensitive so this experience will help me gain confidence. I like helping people because it makes me feel good.

Bok, ja sam Lydia. Imam 20 godina, dolazim iz Pariza i studentica sam prava.
Trenutno volontiram u Hrvatskoj zahvaljujući programu Europskih snaga solidarnosti. Za ovaj progam sam saznala zahvaljujući youthworkeru u centru za mlade koji moj otac vodi. Imam nekoliko ciljeva za ovo volontiranje, a jedan od njih je krenuti u avanturu. Prije svega, želim se više otvoriti prema svijetu, upoznati novu kulturu, novu kuhinju, nove ljude, ali i prevladati svoju sramežljivost. Također želim otkriti i razviti sebe, to jest, upoznati svoje granice, prevladati strahove i mentalno rasti.
Isprva sam se bojala putovati sama, ići u zemlju u kojoj ne govorim jezik, ali na kraju sam uspjela upoznati nove ljude, prakticirati engleski jezik kako bih ga razvila, a najviše od svega, mentalno rasti, postati neovisna i preuzeti odgovornosti.
Volim slušati glazbu, čitati, šetati prirodom, skijati, a nedavno sam razvila i strast prema kuhanju.
Društvena sam i uvijek nasmijana osoba, ali vrlo empatična i osjetljiva, pa će mi ovo iskustvo pomoći da steknem više samopouzdanja. Volim pomagati ljudima jer mi to daje osjećaj zadovoljstva.
