Von Elchen und Kaffee #finnland2017

Today is our last day here and it feels really strange. On the one hand, we are very excited to go home, but on the other hand, we now realize that the chapter of Finland is...

At 5 o'clock the alarm clock rang. The trip to the Arctic Ocean was on. Marcos night was much shorter than expected, as he couldn't find any rest for almost two hours due to...

An absolute highlight of our semester abroad: Lapland! The expectations were at least as high as our anticipation of the trip to the far north. But could Lapland really enchant...

The day had come. We set sail as participants of the 'Pirates of the Baltic Sea Tour'. Since Konstantin sold his ticket to Kirill at short notice, it was not an official Flat 17...

...wie eine Zeitreise ins Mittelalter. Zur Atmosphäre trugen die verkleideten Damen und Herren, welche auf den Straßen gebrannte Mandeln verkauften, enorm bei. Der Stadtwall...

After our trip to Finnish culture, everyday life returned. Uni, assignments, sports (Cross-Fit, Futsal), sauna, and party. Greetings to the overpriced Amarillo. We will probably...

Finally, the time had come. We treated ourselves to the full dose of Finnish culture. The two founders, whom we advised in our project, invited us on a cultural trip over the...

Moods can change so quickly. We have now come so far that we are considering buying our own washing machine so that we don't have to reserve specific times...

SHOCK! We were completely brought back down to earth. Our expectations, which were based on the rented contracts provided, could not be met in any way.

In the so-called 'Pest Park' (where several hundred plague victims were buried in the past), we then encountered the legendary snake dog.

Das Abenteuer hat begonnen! Leider etwas 'härter' als erwartet... Nach reibungslosem Flug und Landung begann die Suche nach einem Schlafplatz auf dem recht überschaubaren...

'So I packed up my things and I faced up my doubts.' Following these words, we will soon be at an altitude of about 10,000 meters. We have about three hours of flight ahead of us...

Unlike us here in Germany, Finland has clearly defined seasons. This means I will arrive there in the summer. After about 1.5 months, it will get a little wetter and more...

Hei ystävät! (Wenn man dem Google-Übersetzer vertrauen kann, heißt es so viel wie "Hallo Freunde") Mit diesem Grußwort heiße ich euch willkommen auf meinem Reiseblog. Hier werdet...
