My time in Valencia so far has been an amazing and valuable experience. In the first part of my stay, I’ve already learned and achieved a lot. Living in a different country has helped me grow personally and professionally. I’ve had the chance to explore new cities in Spain, meet many new people from different cultures, and learn to adapt to a new environment. This has helped me to become more independent and confident in both my daily life and in my work.
At StartSkate School and Medisurf, I’ve had the opportunity to work on creative projects that match my interests, especially when it comes to filming with my drone. The people at both places have been very friendly, helpful, and supportive. Communication has always been quick and smooth, which makes the collaborations easy and enjoyable. I feel truly part of their teams, and I’m very thankful for the trust and freedom they give me to develop my skills.
One of the biggest areas where I’ve improved is my drone piloting. Since the start of my exchange, I’ve become much more confident in flying and capturing different kinds of shots. I’ve been experimenting with angles, lighting, and motion to make my videos more dynamic and professional. Every shoot helps me understand better how to tell a visual story. This practical experience has helped me grow much faster than I expected.
Besides the technical side, I’ve also learned more about building a personal brand and using social media as a tool to grow professionally. By creating content for others and myself, I’m starting to understand what kind of videos work well, how to grab attention online, and how to present myself and my work in a way that is attractive to future clients or employers. I’m more aware now of how important consistency and style are in building an audience, and I’m working on improving that step by step.
Overall, I’m really enjoying my time in Valencia. It’s a beautiful and inspiring place to live and work. I’m excited about the remaining two months of my exchange, and I look forward to learning even more, improving my skills further, and continuing to work on creative projects that help me grow. This Erasmus experience has already been a big step forward in my life, and I’m sure it will continue to help me build a strong foundation for my future career.
