Guylaine from Toutoupourlechien.com (TTPLC): Hugo, who are you?
Hugo Haab (HH): Originally from Lyon, I'm 23 years old and I'm in my 5th year as a veterinarian at the faculty of Cluj-Napoca in Romania. I am in a way, in reference to a youthful hero, a poor lonely cowboy far from home.
TTPLC: Why did you choose to become a veterinarian? And why did you choose to study abroad?
" HH: I think it was during my compulsory 4th grade internship at the College that the click happened. I shared the days of a passionate veterinarian, specialist in NAC (New Pets, editor&39;s note), who gave me a taste for the profession.Before leaving, he said to me: you are going to be a veterinarian. This sentence has remained as evidence. I did a year of preparatory class in Grenoble. I never understood why the selection is made in particular on mathematics rather than on biology or medicine. I did not succeed and yet the only job that interested me was a veterinarian. It was a combination of circumstances that led me to study in Cluj, in the English section. The university provides a diploma valid throughout the European Union."
TTPLC: Where does your passion for animals come from?
HH: I don't really know but I've always read a lot about animals. When I was little I wanted to learn all the names of animals by heart. I had the chance to discover Namibia and Kenya, two countries that make you want to know more. I then did internships and odd jobs in animal parks: Bird Park in Villars les Dombes, Crocodile Farm in the Drome.
TTPLC: Tell us about your YouTube channel
HH: While surfing the internet, I noticed that veterinary medicine was a subject very little discussed on YouTube, that something was missing, both for vet students and for pet owners . Moreover, I like to learn while having fun, which made me want to combine popularization, original image processing and sometimes humorous narration in my videos.
TTPLC: What do you plan to do after your studies?
HH: First gain experience in veterinary medicine and then put it at the service of my channel to be as close as possible to the concerns of animal owners. I will also try to specialize in internal medicine.
