About Celina – Our Travel and Medical Expert at travel4med
Hello and welcome! I’m Celina, a medical student and passionate globetrotter. I discovered my passion for medicine and travel while training to become a medical assistant (MFA)—and at travel4med, I’ve been able to perfectly combine the two.
I’ve been an integral part of the travel4med team since my very first trips, and every year I accompany students to our exciting destinations around the world. Not only do I support them on-site, but I also regularly share my experiences and impressions on Instagram, TikTok, and this blog.
Whether it’s a nursing internship, a clinical rotation, or a practical year—I’ll show you how to have unforgettable experiences, discover new cultures, and gain valuable medical experience all at the same time.
Check out my blog posts and get inspired! I look forward to maybe accompanying you on one of our trips soon.
