Hello for the last time! The exchange is over. Feels like I lived in Utrecht frever ago, even though I moved one month ago. I have had so busy time finding a home and a job in Finland that I kinda skipped the emotional process after the exchange. Life moves on, new things will come…

The exchange is almost over! So crazy that it is almost hard to believe. I remember that in the beginning I was nervous about the 5months because it sounded like forever, and here we are now, packing and saying goodbye to friends and flatmates. The craziest thing is, that you have lived 5 months with…

Hi! I just realised that I’ve been living in Utrecht over 4 months but haven’t told that much about the city itself. I really love this city and in this post I will tell why. Utrecht is like a little version of Amsterdam without the tourists and the red light district. It is a very…

Hi guys! Even though the exchange period is about learning the culture of the country, I still recommend to explore the other countries nearby as well. At least from Finland it’s much more expensive to travel inside Europe than from The Netherlands. And also, who wouldn’t like travelling, it’s great! For now, I’ve visited in…

There are 12 buildings in De Sterren , like the 12 horoscopes. We live in the building 109, where all the exchange students live, and…

Hi guys! In this post I will tell about the day I arrived to the Netherlands. I don’t exactly know at which point I really realised that “holy sh*t I’m really going to live in The Netherlands the next 5 months”. I kinda experienced every kind of feeling from excitement to fear before the exchange….

What’s up? I’m Anna, 22 years old girl from Jyväskylä, Finland. At fall 2016 I desided to go to exchange, because now or never! I wanted to go to The Netherlands, because I had heard so many good things about the country. After one month of research and thinking, I chose Utrecht to be the…
