I noticed quickly that the best way to learn the language is to try to use it every time you have a chance, and, when you're living in a foreign country, I have the chances all the time.
The exchange was an opportunity to experience everyday life in the Nordic region from a new perspective and to deepen my understanding of the relationship between people and the environment in northern societies.
Looking back, the exchange was above all a personal growth experience. Moving alone to another country made me more independent, adaptable, and confident. While the academic content may not directly define my career path, the broader perspectives I gained are highly valuable.
My exchange in Saskatchewan was the perfect combination of high-quality studies, friendly people, unforgettable travel experiences, and genuine Canadian atmosphere.
I’m so grateful to have been given this opportunity through my north2north funding to step outside of my comfort zone, both academically and personally. I’ve made so many lifelong memories, and my knowledge and passion for sustainable development have really flourished in Norway.
