Hi! I'm Tiina from Helsinki, Finland. Even though Helsinki is the capital of Finland, it is a small city with only 500 000 inhabitants. I'm studying at the University of Helsinki and my majors are social work and social policy. At the moment I'm doing my Erasmus year here in Portugal. I arrived to Portugal in the beginning of August and this is my second time here. So I kind of knew where I was coming! Everybody keeps asking me why I chose Portugal... For that I don't have any specific answer. And why not t come here?: Thre is :nice weather, incredible beaches and friendly people! The only thing that bothers me here is the language, I can tell you that it really is not easy! And then what else is there to tell you about me...I love travelling, good parties, friends, snowboarding, palm trees, sea and music. I also like to do sports, but now here I've been too lazy. But next week I'll start doing something again... That's one of my bad habits, I always postpone everything! It is not easy to write about yourself,especially at the moment, after a too hard weekend at Porto, where one of my best Finnish friends is living. =) Hope that you will get to know me and I'll get to know all of you! See you in class!
