Eloise Fontaine comes from the French island of Reunion and has spent the last two months as an intern at The Bridge. Why did she decide to come to Bratislava? And how does she find her stay in Slovakia? Read her answers in the interview below.<\/p>

Why did you decide to come to Bratislava?<\/strong>
I decided to come to Bratislava because of my internship but also because I wanted to discover a new country , one that I wouldn\u2019t have thought of visiting on my own. Slovakia seemed different and less touristy, and I was curious to explore a place that not many people talk about. I also wanted to step out of my comfort zone and experience something truly unique.
 
 
How did you find out about the school?<\/strong>
I found out about the school through another student who did her internship here last year. She gave a presentation to our class about her experience, and it really caught my attention. After her talk, I became interested and started doing my own research online about the school. The information I found made me even more motivated to apply for an internship here.<\/p>

What do you like about the city?<\/strong>
I really enjoy how peaceful and safe Bratislava feels. The city is not too big, so it’s easy to get around by foot or public transport. I also love the mix of modern and historical architecture, especially in the old town. There are lots of cozy caf\u00e9s, parks, and beautiful spots along the Danube River where you can relax. It\u2019s a calm but lively city at the same time, and I really appreciate that balance.
 
 
What do you like about the school?<\/strong>
What I really appreciate about the school is the positive and collaborative atmosphere. From day one, I felt welcomed and supported by both the staff and the leadership team. It\u2019s a place where people genuinely care about each other, and that makes a big difference in the work environment.I also enjoy how culturally diverse the school is. It\u2019s inspiring to see people from various backgrounds working and learning together with mutual respect. That diversity brings a lot of richness to everyday interactions.
 
 
Did you have any expectations before coming to Slovakia?<\/strong>
I didn\u2019t really know much about Slovakia before coming. I had to look it up on the map. I did some research online to learn about the culture, history, and what to expect, but honestly, I came with an open mind. I didn\u2019t have many expectations, which helped me to appreciate everything more once I arrived.<\/p>
