Age: 18
Occupation: Trainee in WOE and I study International trade and Management inToulouse.
Where are you from?I currently live in Toulouse, south of France. People call my city “PinkCity” because of its wealth in art monuments, most of which are built in red brick. I live in Toulouse because of my studies but I am from Lavelanet in Ariège, which is near the border of Spain. I go home at the weekends. It is a lovely area with lots of natural beauty.
Do you enjoy living in Toulouse and where do you like best?The two places I love most in Toulouse are Capitole de Toulouse and Quai de la Daurade. In these beautiful places I can spend my time reading, watching people, listening to music and having fun.

I’m in London for 2 months.
How are you finding London so far?Rainy! But London is beautiful and it always surprises me. The streets, buildings, people, everything is different and the city amazes me. The people I’ve had a chance to meet are friendly, nice and cool, but also quiet!
What were your first thoughts on London when you arrived?Again, rainy! At first I did not realise I was inLondon– it didn’t register. I’ve always wanted to come here to discoverLondonand learn more about the city. I look forward to doing that.
Is this your first time in England?Yes! I’m so happy to be there!
What will you miss most about France while you are away?My Mum, my bed and my best friend! No seriously, except my mom and Nawel my bestfriend, I don’t feel I will miss France too much because every day I am discovering news things so I don’t have time to miss anything.
France is known for its cheese. Do you like cheese?Not all of them, but I have my favourite! Try it, it’s called “Leerdammer”. Oh my, I have never tasted a cheese like this.
What is your favourite and least favourite food?Simply, I love a good plate of pasta with grated cheese and also the couscous my mum makes. I really don’t like ham or fish.

If you could travel anywhere in the world right now, where would you go?Like all people my age I’d like to go to theUSA. But I loveLondon, it seems a really free city. I have found Londoners to be more open minded than French people.
Do you know any jokes?My laugh is a joke, so I don’t have to add anything more. Aha! Indeed my laugh is very communicative and cheerful.
Can you speak any languages and if so, what?Oh yes. I speak English, French, Arabic, Chinese, Occitan, Spanish, and some words in others languages.
What would be your dream job?I’d like to work in human resources or a role in which I’ll be in contact with people. I really love people. I like getting to know them, helping them and generally just listening to them.
How was your first day?I was afraid and fearful that I wouldn’t understand what people said to me or asked me to do. But now, it’s ok. Everyone puts me at ease. I have my desk, and people are really nice with me.
Do you like Jeremy?Yes, he’s good with me. He’s really respectful and friendly with his employees. I’m just waiting to see him secretly speaking French. I know he can speak it a bit!
Does Rolf scare you?No, he makes me laugh. He looks funny but I don’t really know him yet.
Do you like Laura?
Yes, a lot. She has patience with me. And she tries to understand my English, aha.
I love the whole What On Earth team and even though I haven’t spoken with everyone yet, I will do as soon as possible
Which of the What On Earth products would you most like to try?Maybe, for my birthday, I’ll try one of the cakes! I think chocolate cheesecake would be the best.
Simply Nectar is made in Provence. That’s in France! Have you been there?Yes, it’s not so far from Marseille. I know this area. It’s really beautiful.
If you were to launch a new flavour of Simply Nectar, what would it be?Hmm, maybe Cherry or Lychee.
What do you expect from this internship?To be more autonomous and to learn how a company works. I want to help the company, learn their knowledge and share my knowledge with them. I also plan to work hard and do my utmost to satisfy everyone.
