Traveling to Mikkeli was an exceptional experience. I’ve flown several times before, so I had no issues or new experiences in that regard. Living differently for a month was also a fascinating experience, one that I would definitely like to repeat, perhaps not necessarily in Mikkeli but somewhere more beautiful. I most appreciated the opportunity to experience life in Finland, to get to know the local food, and to learn about the working techniques they use there.

Additionally, I would highlight how interesting it was to observe the differences in culture and everyday life compared to home.

I also met many friendly people who, with their hospitality and openness, helped me better understand Finnish culture. This month allowed me not only to explore a new country but also to get to know myself and reflect on how different aspects of culture and environment influence our way of life.

All these experiences have broadened my horizons and ignited in me the desire to continue exploring the world. Although my next destination may not be Finland, I will always be grateful for the time spent in Mikkeli and for everything I learned there.
