In a nutshell, I have been living and interning in Tallinn, Estonia. Currently with EducationUSA in conjunction with Tallinn University of Technology as an administrative intern. It is currently my 8th week here in the Eastern European country and I can say that some things are great and others are so so.
I finally started my internship at EducationUSA and have been working about 30-40 hours a week. So far the job has been busy but slow. Busy as in I am meeting new people, visiting new places, working on presentations to give to highschool, college, and elementary school students, and going into the mindset that I am the representative of the United States. It scares me a little because I will be one of the few U.S persons that students get to talk and interact with professionally and casually. Since I am a native speaker of English, my colleague has been emailing schools around Estonia to see if they would want me to come and do a presentation about the US educational system and about US culture. I can say that in the next couple of months, I will be exploring new towns, cities and places all around Estonia!
Hey everyone of the internet! It has been a little over a week since I have been in Tallinn, Estonia. The week has been packed with adventures, meeting new people, and trying many different (and new) ways to live. I will include pictures in this post of some of my adventures so far but visit the pictures and videos page if you want to see them all.
Hey everyone! Thanks for tuning in. At the moment I am waiting at the airport waiting for my flight to leave. It is pretty exciting and scary at the same time. (I ran into a big glass window while trying to text, so tip: Don’t do that) This first blog I hope to detail out what I am expecting and why I would be going abroad.
