2. QUESTION I:
Show us an activity you enjoy doing. Tell us
how do you think it contributes to your
personal and professional development.

4. HOW DID IT START ?
 I began traveling when I was ten with my father. Since
then, I have traveled as much as possible alone or with
my friends. I have discovered more than 15 countries
 I grew up in an international atmosphere through my
educational experiences. I integrated an international
section in high school before acquiring a double degree
bachelor in International Business in France and Mexico.

5. WHY DO I ENJOY TRAVELING ?
 Living new and unique experiences
 Discovering new cultures and landscapes
Reducing stress
 Increasing and satisfying my curiosity and
expectations at the same time.
 Offering some diversion to break daily routines

6. To better resume why I like traveling,
and what makes me who I am today,
you will find some of my personal
pictures on the presentation slides in
the hopes that it carries you to where I
have been.

7. How does it contribute to my personal
and professional development ?

8. NEW SKILLS
 Be more responsible of myself and of people travelling
with me.
AnaIyze risks during a trip to avoid some difficulties or
bad experiences and manage them with different
approaches depending on the country.
Learn and improve foreign languages, cultures and
history.
Be organized.

9. SELF-IMPROVEMENT
To escape from a routine life, I could step back to
look at myself and identify my strengths and
weaknesses through self-reflection.
 Have some detachment and patience in the different
situations that I am not used to.
 Gets me out of my comfort zone to adapt myself to a
new environment or situation.
 Become more
self-confident.

10. OPEN MINDED
Be conscious of other environments and conditions of
life in other cultures and at the same time of our own
condition of life and what we have.
 Obtain compassion and respect for others whatever
the cultures, country and/or religions.
Stay united with others in the same situation.
Widen different paths of life.

11. NETWORK DEVELOPMENT
Meet new people from different cultures.
Create strong and friendly new ties in professional and
personal relationships.
Interact easier with others.

12. Today in modern societies I believe that it is important to
have travelled and to be geographically mobile. Moreover,
it is not in our generation to stay in the same firm in our
working life time.
The skills traveling will bring me, like I have just mentioned,
will allow me to become a more rational person and get by
what life will throw at me.
