Hi there! My name is Loline, and I am 21. I am from Reunion Island but I live in the region of the castle of the Loire (that you should visit). I was always surrounded by this mix of cultures and histories. That is why when I have the opportunity to travel and study I directly take it. Indeed, I graduated with a Bachelor of European Applied Languages which has a particularity: spending a year in different countries, like France, Belgium and Spain, where I could learn traditions, new hiking trails and experience a lot of adventures.

Likewise, I wanted to travel this summer sí o sí (mandatory!). As my budget was low, I found that it would be a good idea to mix discovering a new country with the ESC volunteering program. Then I discovered VCS, its missions and most importantly the European Youth Olympic Festival. It would be a unique chance to meet international people and work together.

I am curious and willing to participate in a bunch of activities: conversations, dancing, hiking, practice sports, cooking, singing, playing board games, travelling, etc. Being here will let me be even more open-minded.
