The Moment Seizes Us: Study abroad in Turku, Finland

January - The New Year

The thought of being the first student of a study abroad program is as exciting as it is intimidating. The excitement comes from the idea of being in Europe for the first time and working in classrooms with children. The scary part is a series of questions: how would I feel about the limited sunlight? How would my schedule look like? What kind of food would I find there? 

Before I figured out my questions, I started my journey. On the first day of 2019, I landed in Helsinki and got on a train to Turku. As the view outside the window finally started to get brighter around 10:30 am, I took my first picture in Finland.
