Hi everyone!  First of all, a little introduction: My name is Camilla, I am 29 years old, and, as this blog title already reveals I am actually from Brazil, Rio de Janeiro. I have been living in Finland for 4,5 years now in the city of Turku.  I'm currently studying tourism at the Turku Vocational Institute and the purpose of this blog is to share my experiences during my internship in the cosmopolitan city of Barcelona, in Spain. My duties will be as a receptionist at a Hostel in the very heart of the city. The duration of the internship will be 2 months with plenty of time for discoveries on various topics. My adventures will begin as of tomorrow, the 13th of October and I'll try to keep you posted as much as I can, so stay tuned! :) #TAI #matkailuala #KVjakso #barcelona #kansainvälisyys #turunammattiinstituutti
