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

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.

My Creative Journey in the Heart of Hamburg

From the industrial charm of a leading German construction firm to the spirited streets of St. Pauli, my internship in Hamburg has been a fusion of cutting-edge technology and rich cultural immersion. Here is a glimpse into my life as a 3D Modeler in Germany.

Wie geht’s, Berlin?

Welcome to my thoughts on my journey through my six-month journey in Berlin, to the city where the trains are cancelled, the clubs never close, and somehow everyone still looks effortlessly cool. I’ll share what it was like to study Film and Motion Design at a private university, survive German winter and million city chaos with only minor emotional damage, and discover the kind of friendships that form when you’re all equally lost in a new country. From concerts to chaotic metro rides, from flea markets to club nights, here’s everything that made my exchange unforgettable, unpredictable, and occasionally a little unhinged in the best possible way.

Saluti da Firenze!

Greetings from Cologne, Germany

My journey here in Cologne is coming to an end. Spending time with lovely locals and wide range of internationals, this experience has definitely taught me a lot. Highly recommend Cologne for exchange studying, or at least just for a visit!

Greetings from Graz!

I was very lucky to be able to spend 10 months studying in Austria. The year was full of new friends, ideas and beautiful nature! I hope I can return to live abroad someday.

Coffee and Digital Arts in the not-so-rainy town of Lincoln

You may think that now, with Brexit, it's impossible to study in the UK. Well let me tell you - it's not! Okay, maybe it is slightly harder, but there are still many wonderful opportunities for students! One of them is the University of Lincoln, where I spent a semester studying European cinema and working on a short animated film, as well as exploring the town, visiting pubs, and looking for the perfect coffee shop!
