Travel influencer took to Facebook to describe it as the highlight of her life to volunteer at the Olympics, especially in one of her favourite cities. Although it was her fourth visit to Paris, experiencing the city again during the Olympics made it special. Andrea said she was primarily involved in assisting spectators in finding their seats at the Stade de France.
"I just wanted to earn the experience of becoming an Olympic volunteer. On my last day of volunteering, I couldn't help shed tears of joy. It felt like a dream.
"I can't believe I was so lucky to be chosen out of 300,000 applicants to be part of this," she said, adding that a total of 45,000 Olympic volunteers supported the Games. "All of the expenses for the Paris Olympics were my own, and I think the money spent was worth the experience," she said. She also expressed gratitude for finding an Airbnb that was just a 30-minute walk from the Olympics venue, which she walked to every morning.
The volunteer said she worked a total of nine days, with breaks in between, and spent a total of two weeks in Paris. "Thank you, Paris, and thank you, Olympics, for giving me such a beautiful memory," she concluded..
