Matej Davčev, a medical student from Macedonia, came to Slovenia for some practical experience as part of his medical studies in Varna, Bulgaria.

Matej chose to play the song Во коси да ти спијам (Vo kosi da ti spijam/Let me Sleep in Your Hair) by the late Macedonian singer Toše Proeski.

Amandine from France studies agriculture at the University of Maribor. In the future she would like to work in the field of environmental protection. She chose Maribor because of its size, surroundings and nature. She runs by the Drava river and goes swimming at the local swimming pool. Amandine's first challenge here was learning how to get from Maribor to the Faculty of Agriculture, which is located in nearby Hoče. It was in Maribor that Amandine experienced sharing a room with another student for the first time, and she was surprised to find out that Slovenians, in contrast to the French, eat all day long :) Amandine chose to play the song "Quand je marche" by Ben Mazué.
