Saludos Chalmerists!!!
Well… If you are really into Mexican food… YOU FOUND THE RIGHT PERSON HERE!!!!
Some general information about me. My name is Jose and I come from the hot grounds of Merida, Yucatan (Mexico) (and when I say hot I mean around 44 °C!!!!). I have a bachelor in Industrial Engineering and now I’m doing a Master in Supply Chain Management.
Being a part of Chalmers and also a part of CIRC has been a life changing experience but I’m pretty sure you will find that out very soon and WE WILL MAKE SURE OF THAT!!! 😀
I’m the easy going guy that you can talk to for hours or whenever you need and advise or you just feel like talking about random stuff… Just try me… Drop by the office, have some fika and chat!
Something that I have to confess about me is that I LOVE videogames, so if you feel like you are at the level… BRING IT ON!
I can’t wait to meet you all and if you see me around… Don’t be shy and say hi!!!!

Moin moin,
I also want to wish you a warm welcome to Sweden, even though it will most probably be rather rainy with a nice breeze (and we’re not talking about lovely summer rain, but about the rain that the wind smashes unhesitatingly into your face. Gotta love Sweden )
So here’s some stuff about me, sorted into some of my favorites:
…sport: handball, …animals: whales& unicorns, …food: whatever people cook for me (sublte hint), …swedish music: Kent, …books: travel literature
I hope that you’ll have a great time during your first weeks at Chalmers (as I did last year), use it to meet people from all over the world and make friendships that will last <3

Nickname: Mr. Pressure
Nationality: Polish
Languages: German, English, Swedish, Polish, Spanish (más o menos)
Cześć! I am Pascal and originally from Poland, but I grew up in the wonderful home of the “Currywurst”, Bochum, in Germany. Because of that I am also quite direct and speak out what I think with my charming “Ruhrpott”-dialect. Since I came to Sweden I am working on only speaking heavily in my dialect whenever I speak german 🙂
I am actually a structural engineer, but I used my chance to go into a different field with my masters, so now I study Sound and Vibration at Chalmers.
However, I joined CIRC because my reception in August 2015 was so nice (puss puss!), that I wanted to do the same for YOU and now I am doing my best to let you feel welcome and home once you arrive! Apart from that I am also the local ESN representative, which means I am the person to speak to (or Katarzyna) when it comes to ESN events such as the Sea Battle (which sounds completely different to what it actually is ;)) or tours through Sweden.
I hope you will enjoy your time in Sweden as much as I do and if you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask!

“Just who the hell do you think I am?!”, one of my favourite cartoon characters would say, and I also will, if you tell me that something is impossible. Because I believe that only limits are those that we set for ourselves! You will know what I mean when you realize when you are right now. ; )
In my life I was moving a lot, from city to city in Poland. I got Bachelor degree in Power Engineering in Gdańsk University of Technology back in my country, and now I continue studying in this field. However, I do really love doing other things beside studies, so things like comics, sailing, fantasy, fencing, drawing or spending a little money on food can be found among my interests.
My role in CIRC is to help you with student issues, but we can also talk about dragons or Navy SEALs if you want. Don’t take offense if we know each other and I won’t say ‘Hi’, I’m freaking bad at remembering faces. -.+

Hej, I’m Jakub, a design for sustainable development student from the Czech Republic. I came to Gothenburg in August 2015 and since that time, my life has been going crazy 😀 And I love it because I’m always up for new things, I like exploring opportunities and improving skills in multiple fields. Honestly, I haven’t experienced a single moment of boredom here 😉 And this couldn’t be done without all the people from the international family you’re soon to be part of! Looking back I realized how awesome it is and what does it mean for the future. I’m very grateful for that and want to give something in return, that’s why I joined the CIRC. I believe everyone of you should be able to enjoy your stay in Sweden as much as possible, in the way which suits you the best 😉 Being a Chalmerist means plentiful stunning opportunities and in a short time you’ll experience them in person!

Nationality: Dominican Republic

Hej Chalmerist! You can always call me Anali, I’m from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic #caribbeaninsweden #sometimesiamfreezing (just kidding), but I consider myself a citizen of the world. I have a bachelor in architect and I’m currently studying a master in International Project Management at Chalmers (of course). About me… I’m a really curious and consider myself a dreamer (sometimes is bad when you are doing it on the daylight). Also, probably the first thing I will say to you is: I’m a hugger! So feel free to come by when you need a hug. I’m mostly smiling because I think that live is to be enjoyed, and I don’t want to waste time being grumpy. I like partying a lot (just realized this), but I think what I really like is hanging out with people. I also enjoy cooking but is for the same reasons because I’m normally lazy to cook for myself. I will describe my cooking as experimental because I never follow recipes and the outcome is always an eatable (hopefully) surprise, even for me. Something that I love about being in CIRC, is to feel the connection with everyone, even if we come from different places. Travelling is one of my passions, which I try to make often so if you want to go somewhere new, count me in. I’m looking forward to meet you all. I’m also a Chalmers Student Ambassador so feel free to contact me if you need any help with applications, or just anytime.
