THE MOVIE Euroflirt (L' auberge espagnol)

As part of a job that he is promised, Xavier, an economics student in his twenties, signs on to a European exchange program in order to gain working knowledge of the Spanish language. Promising that they'll remain close, he says farewell to his loving girlfriend, then heads to Barcelona. Following his arrival, Xavier is soon thrust into a cultural melting pot when he moves into an apartment full of international students. An Italian, an English girl, a boy from Denmark, a young girl from Belgium, a German and a girl from Tarragona all join him in a series of adventures that serve as an initiation to life.

a few words from one volunteer (Jorge)

Hello, my name is Jorge, I'm 26 years old and I come from Portugal. I'm here in athens since the 15th of January for doing an evs Program at EDRA for 6 months. The motivations that lead me to enter this adventure were basicaly to participate in a project that i could be useful and give/receive experience. it didn't have nothing to do with my work area (environmental engineering). And what else do i have to say in this short period of time that i'm here? OK, the people of EDRA are fantastic, they support-me in everything, i live in the center of Athens with other volunters from diferent nationalities, and thats all folks! PS: why didn't i do this before?
