JUSTINA LI AND MIIA-TATJAANA
"TRAVELING IS THE BEST INVESTMENT YOU CAN MAKE..."
I
f you ask from our 2020 International Affairs Officer INT Justina Li. She has travelled in six different continents and in 40+ countries including Alaska and Greenland (Antarctica still on the bucket list). In addition to Finland, she has lived in Iceland and Sweden. But why she picked Finland and how does she think traveling has made a difference in her career? Justina has moved to Finland in 2010 as a part of her study programme. A decade later she works in international company developing smart ports and autonomous shipping, travels the world and calls Finland home. But why Finland? "Because I love challenges"- Justina laughs - "Finland has a reputation for a good education system. Combined with my poor language skills and no prior travel experience, it seemed like challenging enough", – she chuckles. Justina took the challenge and moved to Finland, followed by three months of international project specialization in Iceland, one in China, double Bachelor degree in Finland and Lithuania, Masters in Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Sweden and back to Finland in 2014, where she continued on multiple language studies and worked as a Marketing and Label relations manager in an Australian music streaming company, followed by couple more roles and her latest job as a Marketing Director at Awake.AI.
International experiences build your character Justina has been raised by a traditional Lithuanian family but was always curious to learn and she found that "traveling is one of the best ways to learn new cultures, languages and most importantly yourself".
