Finland Through Foreign Eyes: My internship at Kotkan Kauppatie
A Journey of Creativity, People, Places and New Experiences.
A Journey of Creativity, People, Places and New Experiences.
Sometimes, the best places aren’t the ones everyone tells you to visit. Sometimes, they are the places you discover for yourself.
What I have discovered while exploring Kotka is that its parks are not all the same — and that’s what makes them interesting.
Kotka has many stories to tell, and sometimes, those stories are hidden among the trees.
Markets are more than places to shop, and they are places where communities meet, traditions continue, and local culture comes to life.
Day 02 gave me another collection of memories. I explored more of the festival. I met new people.
For the first time, I experienced Meripäivät in Kotka, not just as a visitor, but also from behind the scenes.
As someone originally from Sri Lanka, I have always found Finland fascinating. But what has surprised me even more is how different Finnish cities can feel from one another.
As a Sri Lankan living in Finland, I enjoy discovering experiences that are completely new to me, and Dark River Festival was certainly one of them.
From endless summer days to silent buses and snowy winters, Finland has changed the way I see everyday life.
