Tervetuloa, Welcome und Willkommen!
It’s my pleasure to greet you to my blog about my stay abroad in Finland! I decided to write in English so everyone I know has a chance to follow me around on my adventures. (And if I make no sense, maybe an online translation tool can help you understand my gibberish. Ehkä. Maybe.)
About the project
Terve!
Minun nimeni on Ines ja olen kolmannen vuoden opiskelija media- ja informaatiopalveluiden alalla.
(...Finnish is really rivaling German regarding long words, isn't it...)
Hello!
My name is Ines and I’m a specialist for media and information services in my third year of training at Technische Universität Berlin’s university library. They kindly let my sorry butt go to Finland and make some unforgettable memories and experiences before I get tied down as a proper member of society. (Finally.)
I am equally indebted to the EU-Team of my vocational school Louise-Schroeder-Schule and the Erasmus+ Mobility Programme of the European Commission without whom I might not have been able to follow my curiosity.
And of course, what is an internship without a host facility. Another thank you goes to The English School in Helsinki for having me broaden my horizons at their library and especially to my mentor librarian, who took me under their wing.
I also have to mention my inspirational co-editor that is my boyfriend who helped clarify and fact check some things occasionally (❁´◡`❁) Thanks ❤
Why I am doing this?
Because I’m a curious cat. And I haven’t been killed yet.
Also because of love. No, I’m serious. I swear!

Every typo, grammar mistake you find… Finders keepers.
Also, I use strong language sometimes. And a lot of Sarcasm and bad puns.
It is part of my charm ❤ you have been warned (¬‿¬)✧
