I received the proposal to introduce myself…let´s see, what can I say?
I will start with simples points!
Hei/Moi!! J
I´m Cinzia Lettieri, the new EVS volunteer in Kertsi and I’m 23 years
old. Now I live in Porvoo, but I come from Italy: yes! The country of pizza
& pasta, sun & sea or sorbetto
& ice cream! (like Silvia last years) and in March of
last year I graduated in Tourism and Local Development at Biccoca University of
Milan.
My hometown is Solaro, a very small town, but with well-known landmarks
such as the Church of St. Ambrogio and Caterina, which hosts frescos painted by
one of the Giotto’s pupils, and Groane Park, a big park that includes 16
municipalities and it is safeguarded by WWF.
Solaro is also very close to Saronno, the hometown of Disaronno liquor and Amaretto…
exactly! Did you know?
About hobbies
Everyone has at least one hobby… mine are 3: cooking, sports and go out
with friends J
- I started baking cakes and
tiramisu since I was a child with my mom and over the years I’m interested in
several dishes, reading and following YouTube channels.
- One of my favorite sports is swimming,
indeed since I was little I attend swimming courses. Nowadays I love also ice
skating and sometimes I cycling or walk in the park.
Obviously, everything is better if it is done with
friends!! ;)
What do I do in my free time?!
Usually, especially in Italy, I spend my free time outside with friends,
but sometime I like watching also ice skating competitions, handcraft videos
and fashion shows, indeed since I was a child I had fun drawing clothes and
gowns :D
The last but not the least… I like to study, discover and increase my knowledge!! Yes, I know that It can seems
strange.
Now some tough questions! eh eh eh (that everyone ask me) J
Why do
you choose Finland? What do you do?
At first I wanted do a long term experience abroad, especially in the
northern EU, therefore I attended some specify workshops and meetings. After my
graduation I start to apply for several project and one day I received THE UNEXPECTED MAIL (I would go to Finland!
it looked like a dream!!). I knew that Finland was well-known for the best school
system and my project would be focused on
education in a youth center. So… what could I ask for?
What do I learn so far? There are many elements that contribute to the “Cultural Shock” eh eh eh. Let’s see…
- First of all: the language! I’m
attending a finnish course, but every time I hear a finnish conversation my
face looks like “The Scream” of Munch XD
- Sun vs darkness: the first two days was sunny, but then the real soul of Finland came:
the sun disappeared!! -.-“
- The lunch/dinner time: have
lunch at 11 a.m.? I can do it… but have dinner at 17.30/18? Ehmm… it’s quite
hard, because at this time in Italy we have the “The tea time”, or better “The
coffee time” ahahah
-Traffic: here traffic is really different from Italy. For me it is not traffic
but just some cars J
Anyway, I like to be here and I like Finland (especially because I like
snow and to be surrounded by nature) and I hope it will be better next months
;)
At the moment thank you for reading and see you in Kertsi! :D
Me in the middle with
my family, two of my friends and my professor.
