Far Away but still so near
Greetings from New York My Internship at Finland’s UN Mission Greetings from New York! I am spending my training exchange at the Permanent Mission of Finland to the United Nations. My time here combines practical work in an international environment with the opportunity to explore a city very different from my hometown, Rovaniemi.
Grüss Gott aus Salzburg
I spent 3 months in Salzburg, Austria doing a clinical placement at a local hospital as a second year nursing student. This experience allowed me to grow both professionally and personally. One of my biggest (and scariest) goals was to be able to communicate merely in German during my placement.
Servus from Munich: Double Degree Life in Bavaria
I spent my double degree studies at HM Hochschule München, doing my Bachelor's in International Management in Munich. In this postcard I'll tell you what studying there was like, what I did outside of school, and how German student life compares to Finland.

First Spring of 2026 in Lyon, France
Spring has always fascinated me as a season of new beginnings, especially with flowers blooming and nature coming back to life. Yet, experiencing spring in Lyon felt particularly beautiful to me. The combination of the warmer weather, blooming flowers, and the city’s architecture made the season feel even more special.
From Finland to Germany: My Double-Degree Experience
Moving from Finland to Germany for my double-degree studies has given me another opportunity to experience life, education and culture from a new perspective. Although Finland and Germany are both European countries, studying and living in Germany has shown me that everyday habits, university culture and even the way people communicate can feel surprisingly different.
Exchange in Beppu, Japan
My exchange has been a once in a lifetime experience to live in a completely new culture on the other side of the planet. From getting to attend Ritsumeikan Asian Pacific University in Beppu, to traveling all across Japan, making great friends along the way. Japan has left me with so many memories I am losing track.
Greetings from The Hague
I spent six months in The Hague studying Business Administration. My exchange gave me the opportunity to experience studying and living in another country, meet new people from all around the world, learn new things and ways of living, and make amazing memories.
My Summer Internship in Tallinn
This summer, I had the opportunity to complete my practical training in Tallinn, Estonia. Estonia is not a new country to me, as I was born there and have visited Tallinn many times. However, spending the whole summer there for my internship gave me a different perspective, especially on working life.
Between Cultures: My Internship at Erciyes University
Although Türkiye is a familiar place to me because of my Turkish background and my years living in Kayseri, my Erasmus+ internship at Erciyes University allowed me to experience the country from a completely different perspective: as a professional working in an international university environment.
Greetings from Gent, Belgium!
I spent 2,5 months in Gent, Belgium doing a clinical placement for my studies. The experience was unforgettable and taught me a lot about myself as a person as well as a professional. I knew practically nothing about Belgium in advance, so the country surprised me in many ways, both good and not-so-good.
Exchange aus Esslingen
I had the wonderful opportunity to spend the summer of 2026 studying automotive engineering at Hochschule Esslingen in the beautiful and historic city of, you guessed it, Esslingen am Neckar.
Hello, Manchester, how do you do?
I did a full academic year exchange at University of Salford, and I miss the place already.
Greetings from The Hague
My exchange in The Hague has been a great opportunity to experience a new culture, study UX Design in an international environment and explore life in the Netherlands. During my time here, I have learned not only about my field of study but also about myself and the differences between studying in Finland and the Netherlands.
Internship in Malta
In my first year studies as a bachelor of hospitality mangement, I did my first internship in Pembroke, Malta as a receptionist in a hotel/language school. The whole internship lasted for 3,5 months and I must say, the summer was very hot and very different from what I'm used to in Finland.
