“The experinnce I'm living is very important to me: I' m experiencing a lot about contacts with other people, about introducing myself in a totally new contest. This is not always easy to do and succeed, but I'm trying hard..International experiences are really TOTAL experiences: you learn about language, behaviour, attitude, culture, general culture, self esteem.” Read Review
