Finland's internship

Hi everyone!

Hope you all are doing well, due to my pH.D programm I have been sent to do an internship in Finland, I would be here for just two months, so it's a short internship. This would be my fourth week in the country and I have some feelings about it.

Finland is quite amazing, I don't have any complain on Finnish people, they're all kind and respectful. 

Is just that I have been feeling out of place, quite a lot. I guess is because of the language, since most Finnish people speak English but between them they speak Finnish, which is obviously normal, but I feel the language barrier strongly.

I try to go out every weekend so I don't close myself in my room, and I have been feeling less anxious and scared with the time, but I still feel a bit lonely.

I also realized how much anxious and scared I was of travelling out of my coutnry, this is my first time going out of my country and it has been a trip full of anxiety and fear, but gladly everything has going smoothly, more than I could ever thought.

So I guess this could help me to relax a bit more and learn how to sharp my social skills.

But that's all, I wish you all a good day/week! take care!
