My love for semiotics and exploring and analyzing signs and meanings is what inspired me to come and study in Estonia in the first place. When I came to study at the University of Tartu, I was amazed by the study enviroment and the organisation of the curiculum  and I want to share my wonderful experience of studying at the University of Tartu and Estonia in general with all the future international students and show them the bright sides of studying in this digitalized, safe and prosperous country. Also, I love Estonia so much and enjoy very much learning and reading about Estonian culture and learning Estonian language. Studying in Estonia was my best choice ever and I hope to share that opinion with future students as well.
