Luana, the creative soul
Before moving to Lausanne, I lived for a number of years in Nyon. When I began studying at Fribourg University, I was faced with a choice – I had to find a new place to live that was closer to my studies. More or less halfway between Nyon and Fribourg, Lausanne seemed to me to be the ideal place to begin this new chapter – and I got it right. I am currently studying Media and Communications as well as being a Community Manager in a communications agency in Nyon. I am also passionate about photography and love to explore the many different facets this art has to offer.
« For me, Lausanne is a city that inspires, whether thanks to the charm of its streets, its numerous cultural events or the diversity of its population. In my eyes, Lausanne offers a perfect balance of social and relaxing activities, thanks to its green spaces and the magnificent lakeside. What I particularly appreciate here is that it’s always bursting with new activities, unusual spaces and concepts to be discovered, making it a city full of surprises that constantly stimulates my curiosity and my thirst for discovery. »
