Dober dan, hello, bonjour! My name is Baptiste. I'm the new  French☺in MIC, 29 years old, working as EVS volunteer for one year.

....Na poti po Sloveniji!

I like travelling and living abroad, meeting people from different cultures and building relationship with them.

I have lived for 6 months in England, where I learned English andmeanwhile worked as a kitchen assistant in an university. That was agreat opportunity to meet English and foreigner studiants from allaround Europe.

As an enthusiastic biker and traveler I experienced the soul of Europeduring many bike trips all around Europe, across the Balkans to Turkey,through England, Ireland, Spain...

S kolesom na pot !

»Kolo je prevozno sredstvo, s katerim lahko na preprost način in ssvojo lastno močjo pridemo do pristnih srečanj z ljudmi.Preprostostkolesarjenja vspodbudi radovednost in naklonjenost.

Počasen tempo kolesa omogoča povezanost z naravo,ki nas obkroža, hkrati pa nam kolo omogoča tudi potovanja na daljše razdalje.«

A velo sur les routes...

»Le velo!, c'est un moyen simple de se deplacer avec sa propreenergie pour aller  a la rencontre des gens sans artifice, cettesimplicite amene a faire de belles rencontres et susciter de lacurosite et de la sympathie.

Le rythme lent du velo permet une proximite avec la natureenvironnante, mais  il est aussi envisageable de parcourir delongues distances pour entreprendre de grands voyages!«

It's in this way that I discovered Slovenia with its deep and hiddencountryside during a bike trip throught East Europe. I fell in lovewith that quiet and beautiful country, so I  planed to stay longer ... Here i am now as a volounteer...

What  is EVS ?

means »European Voluntary Service«.This program isdesigned and managed by the Euopean Union to give the opportunity forthe young people to live an intercultural experience, to experiencesocial integration and solidarity in an European country.

EVS is a great opportunity for the young ( 18 – 30 years ) to gain lifeand work experience abroad, to learn a foreign language and to takepart in the building of the common european identity.

Dobrodosli v Sloveniji!

...My frist steps in Slovenia....

I'm living and working in Ljubljana, «the capital with a feeling of avillage». The center is concentrated along the river Ljubljanica withthe castle on the hill above the town, from where there is a nicepanoroma of Ljubljana. You can easy walk around the old town centre andsee Plečnik's architecture as the three bridges by the Prešeren squareor the monumental national libary.

If your are looking for a  peace of nature and quietness, there isjust in the middle of the city a huge and wild forest on the hill ofRožnik with a nice park of Tivoli in front.

The beautiful Slovene countryside is a great invitation  to go around ...
In 10 minutes time, that you need to leave the city, you get into a green and quiet countryside.
If  you like to ride the bike, there is so many road with notraffic, but you must be aware that here is very  hilly, so it'sup and down road!!

On the way, you will see many wood construction called « kozolec ».It'smade to dry and store the hay and it's typical for Slovenia

On the way you have to stop in a »gostilna« - a typical Slovene tavern where you eat very good traditional Slovene dishes

Učim se Slovensko

Learning Slovene is the best way for integration and meeting people.

I have Slovene lesson in MIC with Jana, a studiant of French language,two times a week. I'm learning each day more with meeting new people.

MIC is totaly »internationally multi-language« center, because we speak in Slovene, English, French and Spanish .

All along the year I'll put pictures and write more impression about my experience and my projects in MIC.
