The Neurasmus program has given me the unique opportunity to merge my scientific ambitions with my passion for exploring new cultures and living in different parts of the world. Coming from a background in Applied Physiology and Kinesiology, I joined Neurasmus with the goal of deepening my understanding of neuroscience and eventually bridging the two fields in a career focused on neurorehabilitation. My first semester in Amsterdam offered an excellent foundation in both fundamental and clinical neuroscience, taught by leading experts in the field. Currently, in Bordeaux, I’m engaged in an internship that integrates human physiology and neuroscience to explore how sleep is influenced by vestibular changes. Beyond academics, this journey has brought me lifelong friendships and two new places—Amsterdam and Bordeaux—that I now consider home. And the journey continues next year as I head to Laval for more!
