MEETING WITH ANNA, VICE PRESIDENT OF THE ESN SECTION IN MUNICH
City life . Culture . Night life . Student life . TravelI met Anna K. in Munich during the month of October. The first time I talked with her was during an ESN Mesa Meeting which took place at Geschwister Scholl Platz (the main building of the LMU). She is 22 years old and comes from Germany. Always smiling and in a good mood, she welcomed me with open arms, always asking if everything went fine or if I needed help to take my mark in the new city I was living in. I had the opportunity to travel a lot with her (to Berlin, to Starnberger See, to the bavarian mountains,..) and to take part to many events she co-organized (like parties).
She is now became a friend and I wanted to interview her because I found her experience really interesting, not only as an ESN Mesa member but also as an Erasmus Student because she studied during five months in Italy a couple of years ago.
So, my interview will be divided in two sections : one is related to the experience Anna had as an Erasmus Student. The other one deals about the position she has been occupied in the ESN Network since last year.
