Dzień Dobry! My Name is Lionel, I’m from Munich, Germany and I will be volunteering in the beautiful city of Krakow at IB Polska for the next months. A couple of years ago I spent a year in Canada and while it wasn’t always easy, it was an extremely enlightening and life-changing experience. So when I graduated from high school, I wanted to do something difficult and inspiring again. After I heard about the ESC, I was really intrigued because I love the EU’s opportunity and want to help others.
A little bit about myself: I love trying new things, going outside of my comfort zone and changing my life. I also love Europe and its culture and hope to get to know Poland and especially Krakow a lot better.
IB Polska seems a well-organized organisation with a wide array of programs and I hope to be able to do my part in it. I also love the international community that I have found in this program. While this is only the beginning of my journey here, I am very motivated and looking forward to the rest.
So far, the city of Krakow seems really vibrant and fun and I can’t wait to get to know it better!
