Hey everyone! I’m Narjesse, I’m 19 years old, I come from France and I’m proudly half-French, half-Moroccan (team couscous and baguette).

Three years ago, I arrived in Bremen for the first time. The sun was shining, a beautiful flower market filled the streets, and I instantly fell in love with the city. During my Erasmus+ exchange, we had time to explore. On our last day, while clearly lost and trying to find something, a kind lady…

“When you step away from the familiar, you often return closer to yourself.” Sometimes, a journey gives you more than just a new destination.
