Summer holidays 2013

Dear UCN'ers 

It's july and we have holidays! Yaaay :) I am really happy about taking some time off to relax, doing nothing and simply enjoying the life, since in september I start a new chapter in my life. And let's be honest - we all need some excitment and journey in the summer break, don't we? :)


One of the aspects I love about studying in Denmark is the fact that you get to know people from all over the world and you make significant friendship that may last through whole your life. I may proudly say that because of UCN I bounded with two amazing girls that I can simply call my best friends. 


Unfortuanately as you all know, we all have different paths and goals in our lifes and we choose different destinations. Lady L. is  from 1 year living happily in Copenhagen, studying master's degree and working as a sales assistant, and Lady D. left Denmark nearly 2 years ago and is having a crazy life working as a restaurant manager in one of the best restaurants in London.  (Ps. the girls finished AP degree in Service, hospitality and tourism management in UCN)


However if something is strong, it never gets apart and that is why we were planning from over a year to finally meet as all 3 Charlie's Angels.

Surprisingly enough, the tickets are not that expensive at all to Copenhagen or London, but since it was hard for Lady D. to take vacation we took off to her. I managed to book the two-way tickets for 800 kr to Gatwick airport (from there you may take the bus that is taking you to the center of London for 220kr two ways and they are driving every 20min to the airport) I found this offer on norwegian, hunt and you'll find a good holidays! The planes are flying from Aalborg airport almost everywhere:) Since I've been already in London sightseeing, this time was spent just for relax with my girls and of course shopping, BUT you can only take 10kg handbag with you, but on the way back you can buy a suitcase (that is very cheap in e.g. primark) and buy a ticket for it in norwegian for 80kr. Of course if you have friends all over the world, that's even better - you dont need to pay for a hostel or a hotel. So once again guys - integrate and use your connections all over the world - you have the perfect opportunity for it here:) 



Lunch in the park

Like always- having fun
Having fun.. again!

We've done some damage to our wallets.. shopping!

Ladies <3
My holidays with the girls were amazing! I just wish to see them soon again, either in Aalborg, either in Copenhagen, either in New York one day!:) I am leaving you with some pictures and let me know where you are going for these holidays and what destinations can you recommend to fly out from Aalborg?:)

Video Interview part I - UCN Student Job - Adrian

Dear UCN'ers!

Today, I have for you a little surprise. 

UCN Marketing Ambassadors came up with an idea to interview UCN Students regarding their student jobs, so you know how does it look more or less to find work here, even before you come to Denmark! 
Of course, please note that there are different people and different opinions about this subject, so that is why we will have interviews with many people, not just one. 



However on this episode, I would like you to meet Adrian, UCN Student who comes from Romania, has been working in London for one year and decided to come to UCN, Aalborg! Watching the video you will get to know, what tips does Adrian have for you to find job and what does he think about working with Danes. Adrian is a bartender in a bar called "The Wharf" which is situated on Borgergade 16, just in the city center of Aalborg:)


We had lots of stress, but also fun with Adrian filming the video, hope you will like it anyways! Please give us some credit for it, that was our first time in front of the camera! Also excuse the lighting, that's just the proof I was studying International Hospitality Management. :)

Let us know in the comments below,  what difficulties are you facing with finding work here and what do you think of Aalborg as a place for a student job? Maybe you can help in that way the new, potential UCN students.

Enjoy the video then and stay til the end for a small bonus!

UCN Graduate, what next?

Dear UCN'ers


"Long time no see", or so they say. From my graduation in january I did not mention much about that, but it is just because of lack of time. 
And.. it happened -  after 3,5 years in UCN I recieved my diploma. I graduated with bachelor degree in International Hospitality Managemnet. It's over! UCN experience has finished for me, at least in the point of education. BUT, no worries, you'll be seeing me around, reading propably more posts on this site.  If you ask me about the graduation ceremony, well, I must say I liked the AP one MUCH more. On the bachelor one, we only recieved diplomas, lunch, little chat with the teachers and good bye. Not too much effort in comparison to AP graduation. Hopefully yours will be better!:)





You must be propably wondering, what now? Well, from the graduation time until april I was very busy with my work. About one of my jobs you were able to read in my Previous Post and about the second one - I will let you know soon, but I felt really happy I could experience working for a danish  business. However now, I have a free time, at least until september, and yes, I am staying in Aalborg. I am gathering my powers, learning and developing  myself in case of danish, my skills, my character among many others. I also want to spare some time for travelling. Anyways, I have lots of time, and with sun coming out in Aalborg, there is plenty to show you on my blog! 

You may be sure - I will be reviewing as much as I can and I will try to fulfill any of your requests regarding life in Aalborg. Just leave me the comments down below, on my Facebook site or on my email with whatever you would like to read about or see in a form of video:) Soon, you will be able to see me in a new position, I tried something new and I hope you will like it! 

Since I have some free time, I am going out from time to  time, together with my friends, to celebrate our life and take a time off from the problems. Here, I managed to record a video for you guys, so you can see how we party and live Aalborg , UCN graduate life. :)



Enjoy,
Aleks
