EXCHANGE TO LAND OF OPPORTUNITY

Have you ever traveled?

Have you experience that amazing feeling, when you achieve something?

WHO AM I?

My name is Michelle, Im from Poland, half German, now studying in Denmark, soon going on an exchange somewhere in the world. I love traveling, I love meeting new people, I love getting to know new culture. I am an animal lover, and spent a lot of time volunteering in Animal Shelter. In 2014 I spent my summer in Sri Lanka volunteering in local hospital and teaching english in orphanage. Its not only that I love helping, but I love seeing people happy.

I left Poland - my home country as a 18-year old girl to study in Denmark. I just finished my 2nd semester, and I love it. However Danmark and Poland are totally different. Especially the life here. It is not easy to live without having full-time job, or family here. Somehow I managed to find a work, even without knowing danish, I managed to study well, to be in a volleyball club and occasionally to volunteer. The last 4years I have been volunteering in children orphanage, animal shelters, teaching english, and helping out poor families in Poland.

WHAT IS THE CAMPAIGN FOR?

Soon I need to make the decision about going for a semester on an exchange. My dream would be Australia, smallest continent, however how diverse. I hope after some time I will find a job that will allow me to stay there, but I need to collect some money now for the plane ticket and first month living there at least. My family is very supportive, however they wont give me any money, as they believe I could spent my whole life in Poland, because "it would be cheaper". So there is my request. If you could just throw in couple dollars, you could help me make my dreams come true.

The plane ticket one way cost around 600$, I will have to find an apartment for around 1000$ per month, and 400$ for food, bus etc. I hope during this time I will find a job that will help me out during the next months

Everyone who will contribute a bit, will get a personal "thank you" on a postcard from Australia! If you will give me bit more, I will send you small gift as well.

Thanks to everyone who will help me! You don't know how much it means to me! It will be forever in my heart!
