Hello ! I am Otilia, from Romania, I am 25 years old and my red shoes brought me to Marseille where I am doing my EVS for a year with Les Petits Debrouillards PACA.

To keep the long story of my life short : I’m done studying , been travelling and living abroad before, I love theatre, music, people who take the freedom to think out of the box and dare to reinvent the wheel. I find it very important to be an active citizen, ask yourself questions and get involved in your community. Always dreamt about living in France, so here I am ! At the moment,

I am part of the “Empowering Youth in an European Society” (EYES) network and together with other cool organisations, networks and movements around Europe and not only, we plan to organize a festival in Toulouse, next year.

Besides that, I am excited to work with ?=+ and finally learn French (o la la) ! I’m sure this year in Marseille with Les Petits Debrouillards is going to be an experience full of new challenges, new people and a lot of new things to learn. So, I press the “PLAY” button and promise that by the end of this year I’ll be able to write my presentation in French ! :)
