My year in Kopli Home

I am Ezgi from Turkey. My adventure in Estonia started on 19 December 2021 when my dear coordinator met me at the Airport. I started my project on a day that was not that cold for Estonians but was cold for me…

I am working in AS Hoolekandeteenused Kopli Home. I work 6 hours in day. In the beginning it was very hard to me, because I did not have any experience in this area of work. Also I don’t know any Estonian language. But as time passed I realized that Iove is a common language. I have a good opportunity to help their life.

Everyday activites are that we are playing board games, walking to the seaside and My coworkers and I are preparing the meal. This part is my favourite of the day because I am a pastry chef. I have been learning traditional Estonian foods. I also had an opportunity at work to cook some traditional Turkish dishes for everybody, which was a lovely experience for me.

My project lasts one year in total and I spent my ten months here already. I think that participating in this project was one of the best decisions in my life: I have met a lot of awesome people.

I have travelled near here whenever I had the opportunity. So l got to know myself better with travelling and I discovered Estonian culture and nature as well. In total this experience has been a process where I have learned and taught a lot of new things…
