We are happy to welcome Dora Zavoianu to our team as Program Coordinator!

So, tell us, who is Dora?
My name is Dora and I am 28 years old. I was born and raised in Hungary. I graduated as an English major and completed my master’s in Security and Defense Policy. I have been teaching English for nine years and it has always been a passion of mine. I found the work invested in reaching the language learners’ full potential very rewarding. I also enjoy traveling because I love meeting new people and getting familiar with different cultures, traditions. This drive for being in a multicultural environment is the reason I moved to the Netherlands. Besides traveling and teaching, I love running and doing Bikram yoga. I find both activities relaxing and challenging at the same time.

What have you seen of the world so far and which country is on top of your bucket list?
During my university studies, I worked in a summer camp in the USA after which I traveled around the States a lot. My favorite city is San Francisco because I believe it has a special atmosphere with all those crooked streets, the pier and my all time favorite the Golden Gate Bridge.  I have been able to go to Russia, Croatia, and Italy all of which I enjoyed very much because of the varied cultural experience I encountered. I am traveling to Morocco this May and would love to go to Vietnam in the near future.

What has been your most remarkable experience abroad?
I have had many remarkable experiences abroad but what I find most valuable is the cultural awareness I raised by spending three summers in the USA. I really loved learning about how people from different cultures interpret various situations, how their worldview, general attitude to work, and people differ. I believe going abroad really is about getting to understand yourself and your own cultural embeddedness better, and I highly recommend to everyone to start this journey.
