Welcome Followers !

Welcome to my blog followers,

I will start it by introducing myself shortly :


My name is Julie Thomas and I'm 22 years old. As it is written in the title of my blog, I'm from Belgium and I'm an Erasmus in Graz for one semester.
I'm studying translation-interpretation in English, German and French  in Brussels . I'm right now in my third year Bachelor.

If you know a little bit about Belgium, you can wonder which language I speak. My mothertongue is French but I obviously learnt the two other national languages of Belgium at school, which are German and Dutch.

I have many hobbies in life, such as spending time with my family and my friends. It is the most important thing for me. I love going out with them and creating new memories.


I also love travelling, learning about new cultures and getting to meet people from all around the world :

When I was 18, I got the chance to be an exchange student for 10 months in the United States, in Fountain-Fort-Carson High School, Colorado. It was one of the best years of my life. I could improve my English and live the real "homecoming", "prom" or the famous "graduation" I watched on television. I really loved learning about American customs and traditions.

Last year, I went to Cologn in Germany, I did an intership in the Belgian Consulate to translate but also to promote Belgian tourism in Germany, that was also a great experience and really rewarding for my future (and also for my cv by the way :) )

It's currently the third experience abroad I'm doing right now, and I'm loving it so far... I'm improving my German a little bit more everyday (even if the austrian dialect is really difficult to understand) and I get to know more about Austrian culture. I try to travel and hike here as much as I can. I had the opportunity to visit Dachstein-Hallstatt and Vienna already.

Throughout this blog, I'm going to talk more about my country (sports, traditions, food and so on) but also other countries and their characteristics.

I hope you will enjoy it and feel as if you were travelling the world with me !!!
