Gabriela Jelonek - student of two fields of studies, Political Science and Journalism at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań (Poland). Full of energy and always smiling girl, who is initiator and originator of Erasmus evening. She also was on Erasmus exchange - in Madrid.
She works in two radio stations and always has a lot of stories to tell. In general, she speaks a lot ;)
Let's meet her!
"Incorrect optimist, trying to be everywhere at the same time
and curious like a child thy to discover the World. Busy and crazy, but always
full of joy and walking bravely marching with a smile from ear to ear. With all
that stubborn like a donkey and to some extent irreformable person. My Mother
always tells me, that when I was a baby I could not sleep without radio playing
softly in the background... and so, it's like that to this days :) I fall in
love unconditionally with radio, it has in itself incredible magnetism, which
still attracts me... Maybe it's because of the music, which accompanies me -
also as a dancer - from my childchood. Perhaps thanks to the people, without
them the existence of the radio would not make sense. :)
Why I choose Spain for Erasmus exchange? Again I fall in
love, this time with culture of this country. As a dancer, dancing mostly latin
dances I always had contact with latin music, which I totally admire! Then I
visited Spain and I decided, that this is destination of my Erasmus. But to get
an exchange wasn't that easy. I was trying to get to Erasmus programm for 2
years. My university didn't want to let me go because of the language - at the
beginning my level of spanish was just A2. So decided to do my best, first I
was learning on my own, then I started studying spanish in language school. The
next year I get the exchange and I made my dream come true!
I was studying in Madrid at Universidad Complutense de
Madrid. And – this is a myth, that on Erasmus you are partying all the time!
True is that I had more hours of classes in Madrid than in Poznań. I hated that
when I was there, but at the same time I’m happy, because thanks of that I pick
up the spanish language so quickly.
I really like traveling, also by hitchhiking. My first
Erasmus exchange enabled me a lot of journeys, so I'm planning to go for
"Erasmus+"now! Or maybe for Erasmus practice - I still don't know,
but for sure I won't sit in one place. For sure Erasmus is one of the best
experiences in my life – I met a lot of amazing people, I’ve seen a lot of
beautiful places and now I know how it is to live in other country.
After that I’m hungry of more experiences!
Remember: ONCE ERASMUS, FOREVER ERASMUS! ;)
