Travelling

Spent a year abroad in Lyon, France, as part of my university studies (September 2023/ June 2024).

Immersed myself in French culture and gained a deeper appreciation of regional cuisine and dining customs. This experience strengthened my independence, adaptability, and passion for food culture.


Volunteered at a surf camp in Costa Rica for 1 month (July/ August 2024), working in the kitchen and front of house to help prepare and serve dinner for up to 100 people each evening. Developed strong teamwork, time management, and communication skills in a fast-paced, multicultural setting. Working with an international team enhanced my adaptability and communication skills.
