Greetings from sunny Mexico!
I’m Alli Tengvall, a master’s student in marketing. Currently, I’m on exchange in Mexico for this spring. When I first heard about Mexico as an exchange destination, I knew it would be an amazing opportunity full of fun adventures. I wanted to choose a destination that would be as different from Finland as possible to gain new experiences. So here I am, escaping the Finnish winter in the sunny and warm city of Cancun.
My Erasmus Journey with Siciliamia as Trainee
When I first heard about Siciliamia through the Erasmus Blended Internship Programme, I knew it was going to be an exciting opportunity.

But the story didn’t end there. I continue to work with Siciliamia remotely, building on everything I experienced during my time onsite.

Exploration to the Balkan heart
