In these few months, I have learnt quite a lot. I am grateful for this experience because I have gained a great deal of new knowledge, met interesting people and seen many new places.
The staff at the academy prepared some interesting tasks for me right from the start. I began by comparing the economic status and education at universities in Azerbaijan, Turkey and Slovenia. This took me a great deal of time, but I enjoyed analysing and verifying the data to obtain the correct results.
I managed to establish relationships with numerous Turkish universities for future Erasmus programme students from Slovenia and Turkey. Later, I also conducted a market study on universities in the United States and completed an investigation report together with the International Relations Department.
To sum up, I had a great deal of work and the friendly staff at Academia always helped me with everything I needed. Also with organising my numerous weekend trips.
In April, I explored Slovenia with a group of Erasmus students. We visited Bled, the Bohinj lakes and Triglav National Park. On the way to Maribor, we also stopped in the third largest city in Slovenia, Celje. In Maribor, we went hiking on Pohorje and walked to Maribor Island several times. At the end of April, we also visited the second largest city in Austria, the city of Graz.
In May, I travelled to Paris with Turkish friends. The capital of France welcomed us with wonderful historic buildings, numerous museums and great cultural diversity. We stayed there for 2 days, but nevertheless we saw many historical landmarks, viewed the Eiffel Tower and waited in a long queue to get into the Louvre museum.
One of the Slovenian cities that surprised me was Ptuj. The castle, which lies above the town, offers a wonderful view of the central square and the River Drava.
The following week we went on a trip to Rome. We saw the Colosseum, the Fountain, the Pantheon and more. I really liked this city, but it is quite busy and full of tourists.
Finally, I also visited Croatia and Serbia. I enjoyed this trip because I met so many friendly people, saw buildings destroyed by wars and swam in the beautiful Adriatic Sea along the Croatian coast.
In my free time, I attended numerous online courses, such as Google Digital Marketing, International Trade, Leadership, Social Media and more. I also received a certificate for each course.
I participated in the Erasmus programme and gained a great deal of experience. I met the most valuable friends, visited many countries where I discovered historical places, learnt a great deal in the meantime and increased my work experience. I will never forget Academia, its staff and Maribor.
Academia and Maribor, thank you for everything!
