What Amanda is doing in Budapest ? No really ???

Who am I ? Amanda. 22 years old. French, from a malagasy family.

I arrived here last january and I'm leaving in august. I've got a kind of public relations diploma, and next year I'm studying, (if these dear teachers let me) local development.
Well, what I am doing here ? I know EVS since high-school. I want to work in solidarity field since I am 14. So EVS seems to be something normal to do.
I am in Hungary because I applied mainly in Eastern Europe to local development organization. I tried several times to come to Eastern Europe through workcamps or personal trips. Didn't work. But I want to know more about these former communist countries who just joined the EU club (or may join in the futur) ! So here I am !
Zöfi was my first choice. I liked especially the activist side written on the description.

I had to wait 7 months before coming, my trip was awful (6 hours late, they lost and found my luggage...), social life was difficult at the very beginning... But all my fears of little girl left away on my first walk in the street ! I fell good. I like this city and more when I found the people to be with.

For me this EVS is a time to think, about me, my futur, people around... A step forward in my life.

A step forward for a girl from "cité" (name of social French districts).
