The best memory I have is the time I spent volunteering for six weeks in Bristol about two years ago. I just finished my first year at university and wanted to improve my English during the holidays before applying for a scholarship abroad. My boyfriend and I stayed on a campsite for volunteers that was located near the sea. He worked on the redecoration of an old people's home, while I was given work in the campsite kitchen.

After a while, I found out that everyone thought the meals we were serving were a bit boring, so I offered to prepare traditional dishes from my country instead. Finding the ingredients wasn't a problem, as there was an international food shop nearby that had everything I needed. The change of menu was a great success and so much fun!

I have never had such a fun job as that one and often dream about going back.
