who am I and what am I doing

As you can probably guess from my cliché blog title my name is Riikka. Let me introduce myself...

I'm 22 years old design student from Finland. I study design in glass and ceramics department at the HAMK University of Applied Sciences.

This blog is meant to capture moments from my exchange journey at Tallinn. I will travel to Tallinn 22th of January and start my studies 24th in the Estonian Academy of Arts. My main department is ceramics, but I think I will take courses from many different design fields.

I am thrilled to finally go after months of planning. It started last semester when I decided to go for exchange after nice meeting with an international affairs planner at HAMK. The reason I decided to do my exchange in Tallinn was because I heard so many good things about the school. Also I really like the creative and relaxed atmosphere of Tallinn.

I'm sure it will be a great experience and I try to make the best of it. Au revoir! 😊
