Hello from Spain!

Olin 3 kuukautta ja 2 viikkoa Malagassa työharjoittelussa. Tein työharjoitteluni coeo pod hostel nimisessä hostellissa. Reissussa opin paljon uutta! Englannin kielen taitoni parantui hurjasti sekä opin myös Espanjan kieltä ja kulttuuria.
    Työharjoittelussani tein ma-pe töitä ja opin tekemään perus hotellin työtehtäviä. Sisäänkirjauksia, uloskirjauksia, aktiviteetteja sekä hotellin baarin pyöritystä. Lisäksi tapasin harjoitteluni aikana huippu tyyppejä niin asiakkaita kuin työntekijöitä ja monesta tulikin minulle hyvin läheisiä.

    Asuin keskustan lähellä kivassa perinteisessä espanjalaisessa asunnossa saksalaisen tytön kanssa ja hänestä tuli minun hyvä ystäväni. 
  Vapaa-ajalla tein retkiä moniin Espanjan kaupunkeihin Erasmuksen kautta. Toki myös itsenäisesti kavereiden kanssa. Näin paljon uusia paikkoja ja sain ihania kokemuksia. Aluksi toki jännitti lähteä reissuun niin pitkäksi aikaa yksin mutta se kannatti! 
  Erasmus järjesti monenlaisia tapahtumia keskustassa ja retkiä muihin kaupunkeihin ja rannoille. Niihin oli kiva osallistua ja tavata uusia ihmisiä. Kaiken kaikkiaan oli hyvä päätös lähteä ja rohkaistua paljon myös ihmisenä. 

Hola!

I had the great opportunity to spend two months in Fuengirola, Spain, as part of my Erasmus internship. I worked at StaffPoint in the administration department, and it was an amazing experience. I’m very thankful for the chance to learn about a new culture and gain work experience.

During my time at StaffPoint, I did many different tasks. I helped organize events and parties, designed T-shirts for games, and assisted with administration work like processing purchase invoices. These tasks gave me the chance to improve my professional skills and learn more about how a company works.

Living in Spain was unforgettable. The country is beautiful, with amazing nature and a lively culture. I enjoyed exploring the area, from the beaches in Fuengirola to the busy city life in Malaga. The warm weather, tasty food, and friendly people made my stay even better.

I highly recommend this Erasmus internship to anyone who wants to learn new things, gain work experience, and enjoy life in a beautiful country like Spain. I also want to thank my teachers for their support during the application process and the Erasmus program for making this experience possible.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this experience so special!

Here are some photos of my trip.

Hei! Hilsener fra Oslo! / Greetings from Oslo! / Terveisiä Oslosta!

I did an Erasmus+ trainee exchange in Oslo, the capital of Norway, this autumn. I got to experience the local contemporary dance culture and especially the education at the University. It was a great exchange experience. My most important learning processes focused on group work, dance technique and self-reflection. I learned a lot about myself and gained important experiences and warm memories as part of a wonderful class and school community. I got to perform with my class mates to other fellow students and deepen my skills as a professional dancer. Within those 7 weeks I got to work with many professionals from the Nordic contemporary dance field such as: Otto Ramstad,  Zsuzsanna Rózsavölgyi, Janne-Camilla Lyster, Tim Almaas, Camilla Spidsoee and Yaniv Cohen. 

Norway is known for its beautiful nature and even in the city alone you could see the beautiful coastline and the distant mountain peaks. I could have stayed longer! I felt very welcome to return any time. My future interests might also be in Oslo, as the Master's degree at the university seems very attractive to me. Maybe I'll apply there next, who knows!

Thank you Riveria, KHiO, Erasmus and all teachers, friends and fellow students!

Hola!

I'm currently here on the mountains of Sierra Nevada, finishing my media studies at Riveria by doing practical training in a culture center La Fabrica in Lanjaron, Spain.

Mostly I do photography in the events and performances in La Fabrica, but there is also plenty of time for hiking, gym, trips to nearby villages and leisure time photography.

The "culture circle" is very international here and I have been networking with people from different fields and backgrounds.

I'll add some pics from my hikes here :)
