What did you do before: I have a bachelor in human sciences specialized teaching in culture and media. It means that I had courses about the theory of communication, culture, art...

I did 2 internships : the first one as a journalist in photographic press and the second one as a photographer for an advetising company.
Why EVS: I travelled a lot in Nordic countries with the interrail pass during my last summers and I wanted to know how looks like the life there. I liked especially the landscapes. I wanted to know the culture and the language through a concrete project and I thought that the EVS was the best way to do it.

and in the last year before my EVS program started, I organised sport competitions and coaching development courses for international students!
Why EVS; I always like the Scandinavian culture, the people and the way of thinking but I`ve never been to Norway so I wanted some new adventures!
I`ve started to learn the language at Hungary but it`s easier to learn if you live with locals!
