Jerome Le Carrou left his home in the Brittany region of France when he was 21 years old to do a study abroad program in Utah in the United States. It was his first exposure outside of his small hometown and his home country. He lived in a four story dormitory for a year with students from 50 countries and this opened his eyes to the power and excitement of varying countries and cultures in the world. Between finishing his undergraduate degree and applying for graduate programs in journalism, he made his way to Shanghai for an internship and an experience that changed the course of his life and lead to his starting and founding Next Step Connections. Jerome's story is a compelling one for all entrepreneurs starting a business outside of their home country and outside their comfort zone.
