When I was studying in university I decided to have an exchange
semester in Finland. It was a great risk for me, because it was my
first experience abroad and it was for six months.

I come from a family that has never left Turkey and I was going to be the first one in my family to leave the country.

All I knew about Finland was:
It was really cold during winter (sometimes -30 C)
It had a small population.
It was 2500 km away from where I live.
Nokia was a Finnish company.

I was concerned about a lot of things: I didn’t know the language there.
I was going to share a flat with two strangers from different countries.
I didn’t know if I could handle the cold.
I had never traveled that far for that long.
I didn’t know anyone there before leaving.

The Outcome:
I had the best six months of my life....

I established lifelong connections and friendships from all around the world.

One of my flatmates was Canadian. Therefore talking to him all day helped
me improve my English.

I realized there is a whole other world that I can discover and have been travelling whenever I have had the opportunity ever since.
I have travelled to nine other countries such as Spain, Italy, Sweden and Russia since my Erasmus period.

It made me more sensitive about other people’s beliefs, religion, thoughts and cultural differences.
It helped me get rid off stereotypes I had about other nationalities.

I realized the things that my country is lacking that I hadn’t realized before such as sustainability and recycling.

Last of all,
I realized how important it is to have an international career in today’s world.
It led me to my decision to persue my masters abroad.
After some research, I decided to apply to IE Business School in Madrid, considering it is one of the best business schools in Europe and it is in one of my favorite countries that I have visited during my trips.
