My trip to Lake Toba, North Sumatra, Indonesia, began on the 22nd of June 2022. As one of the 17 students who went on this two-week trip, I can safely say it was everything more than we had ever expected it to be. Going into this project, I was unsure of what to expect. I…

My name is Fotini, and I study Product Design at UTS. I finally arrived two days ago in the beautiful city of Eindhoven, after much organisation and preparation !It’s a 30 degree day here (which is not what I was expecting at all), and I’ve already had some time to explore and look around. I’m…

The facilities at the Academy of Fine Arts are fantastic. The entire year group only consists of 25 people, so you end up becoming very close with your classmates as well as the students in all the other years. This for me was great as you were definitely known by all the teachers and you…

There are events on for every hour of the day, and countless museums, parks, bridges, monuments, bakeries, flea markets, art festivals and restaurants to go to. I’ve been here for exactly one month, and I have…
