There's a whole world out there
By Emilia Kiiskinen
We at “Discover Tallinn” truly believe that traveling is one of the best
things in life. It is normal to want a break from life sometimes, and
traveling is the perfect way to do that. We have experienced a lot of
traveling in our lives, and this is what we’ve discovered: Traveling
opens up your mind, and you get to see new places and meet new
people. You can taste new food, learn how the world functions, and
learn about new cultures and maybe even something about yourself.
You learn to appreciate the country you visited ,and also your home
country. You can discover a new
exciting city, an isolated island, a
shopping heaven or a beautiful
small town- anything is possible.
The whole world is open to you.
And why do we think that it is
so important to travel? It is
important because we get to
know and understand other
cultures, we can break cultural and language barriers, so that we can
understand our world and what happens here better. And hopefully
develop a respect for one another, because many of the problems in this
world develop from misunderstandings based on cultural differences.
Therefore, get to know the world, and make it a little better.
Traveling to new places is always exciting, but to discover something
new, you don’t always have to look that far. That’s why we are here to tell
you about a beautiful, special foreign city- located only about two hours
away from us. Tallinn is the perfect destination for a weekend getaway, a
spa-vacation, a shopping trip, or why not just a one day visit. We think that
Tallinn has something for everyone, and that is why we are here to tell you
all about our neighbor city and the reasons we Finns are so fond of it.
Maybe you have been to Tallinn before, or you are thinking of going. Either
way, you will find a culture in Estonia with many similarities as well as
differences from our own. So travel, enjoy, discover. Live. But first, I hope
you enjoy our magazine.
“Get to know the
world, and make it a
little better.”
