Munich, here I am !
Student lifeBonjour à tous, My name is Liam, I come from France. I grew up around Paris, in a small town of fewer than 800 inhabitants. Over the years, I’ve studied in a few French cities, such as Versailles and Lyon, discovering new environments each time. Even though those destinations were not entirely imposed, they were

The Rhythm of Link
City life . Germany . Student life . TravelGuten Tag! I’m Jeonghyeon Lee from South Korea. But just call me ‘Lily’ because I understand how hard it is to say my name.

Hallo from Pao – A City Girl in Munich 🇹🇭➡️🇩🇪
City life . Culture . Society . Student life . TravelSawasdee everyone! My name is Nannaphat Phromsopha, but most people call me Mangpor – it means dragonfly in Thai. I love the symbolism behind it – always moving, light, and curious. Just like me, flying from place to place, collecting experiences and stories in every places that I go, or you can call me Pao, if that’s easier! Currently, I’m a third-year student in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) international program at Thammasat University. I’ve always been curious about how societies work, how we make decisions, and how our values shape the world – that’s what drew me to PPE. I speak Thai, English, and a little bit of Chinese. So, I’m now picking up some German to challenge myself. I’m from Bangkok, Thailand, a city full of hope, life, colours, traffic, temples, street food, and beautiful chaos that I call it home. I grew up surrounded by people, stories, and energy – which is probably why I feel most alive in big cities. So, when I had the chance to study abroad, I looked for a place that had both city life and character – and Munich was the perfect choice. So….Why Munich? I’m a total city girl, and I need that buzz of movement around me. Munich has it all: elegant architecture, deep history, cozy cafés, cool art spaces, and green parks everywhere. Plus, it’s super close to the Alps, so you can go from city strolls to mountain hikes in no time. Honestly, I love how it makes myself feel grounded and free at the same time. Moreover, I chose Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU) because of its strong academic reputation, diverse international student community, and the chance to experience life in one of Europe’s most dynamic cities. Munich has a unique character
