Hi all! I am back for the longest time! And I will tell you about my favourite mobility program for young Europeans: volunteering through European Solidarity Crops! The Solidarity Corps has many kinds of cool international possibilities but in this post, I am concentrating on the cross-country volunteering program. The program aims to encourage solidarity through a range of volunteering and humanitarian projects across the European Union and even beyond. The European Solidarity Corps is funded by the EU, and all Europeans aged 18-30 can participate. I will share with you my own experience participating in this program, tell a

Vienna recommendations: what to experience in the most amazing city

Niina — Tue, 24 Sep 2024 18:53:25 +0000

Hi all! Vienna is the beautiful capital of Austria and one of my favorite places! In this post, I will recommend what to experience there. I fell in love with Vienna’s elegant charm, which made me feel like I was time-traveling to the early 20th century. But at the same time, everything modern that makes life comfortable worked nicely. Like the public transportation. Just lovely! Some years ago, I lived in Vienna for around nine months. I consider myself a person who knows the city well. Thus every time any of my friends goes there (and I warmly recommend anybody

Day trips around South Western Germany!

Niina — Mon, 19 Aug 2024 19:06:29 +0000

Hi all! In the summer of 2023, I was doing an internship in Mainz, Germany and during my three-month stay there, I traveled around the surrounding area. Almost every weekend, I did a day trip to a cool German city (and one that was not in Germany). In this post, I will share all those places with you. If you ever plan to go to Mainz, Frankfurt, or somewhere in the area, hopefully, this could inspire you. South Western Germany is a truly diverse place to travel: you can explore historical buildings and monuments, delightful natural landscapes, and modern urban

Mainz: more than you could expect

Niina — Wed, 17 Jul 2024 18:42:48 +0000

Hi all! Today I will introduce you to a German city Mainz. My knowledge about the city is based on a summer I spent there for an internship. Mainz was a nice, interesting place and I was surprised how many cool things there were to see and do. Now I will share them with you! First of all, basic information about Mainz. It is the capital of the state Rhineland-Palative in South-Western Germany, about an hour away from Frankfurt by train. Through the city flows the Rhine, one of the biggest rivers in Europe. To get around Mainz, you can

Studying in Finland: a guide by your local international tutor

Niina — Wed, 03 Jul 2024 16:46:56 +0000

My background for this post is that I am, in fact, a Finnish person studying history at the University of Jyväskylä, in central Finland. During my studies, I have worked as a tutor for international students coming to our university. Most of the things mentioned in this post are stuff that I actually told my tuties during their first weeks here. So you could consider me as your virtual tutor who guides you through the subject! I am aiming to write this guide as general as possible so it fits exchange students coming to study at any university in Finland and not just to

Internship abroad? How I got mine in Germany

Niina — Fri, 24 May 2024 19:35:34 +0000

Hi all! An internship abroad? Sounds like a cool idea, right? It is an exciting way to experience being in another country! In this post, I will tell you more about how that can work. I will use my own experience of internship in Germany as an example. Doing an internship in another country is not as well-known as doing a study exchange. Because of this, the process is not as structured as in exchanges. Also, the internship offerings are more diverse which makes every internship one of a kind. That is why I will write more personally about my internship instead of explaining generally how internships work. Things that happened to me, may be completely different for you if
