Adventure of a lifetime: exchanged Minsk for Vilnius
The first thing that wowed Karyna about Vilnius when she first arrived from Minsk was its narrow streets, which looked like they were the guardians of hundred-year-old secrets, and the general atmosphere shrouding the entire city. She liked the university where she had decided to study law from the very first day too.
My Career Story – From customer service agent to teamleader in less than 18 months in a new country
My name is Morten Halkjaer and I am 25 years old. In February 2014, I moved from Denmark to Riga to work for Transcom Worldwide Latvia. Last winter, I saw a job ad about working with customer service for an international media company in Riga and I was at a point in my life where I had to choose if I wanted to pursue my career or experience the world. I chose the last option, but I didn't expect that I would find both here in Latvia. I had the phone interview on a Thursday and four days later, I was on a plane to Riga at 5.40 in the morning.
