I want to go everywhere!

On April 22 I'll have my last exam and will finally be finished with my university studies. And although they were fun (especially because of the English drama group, the English student paper, and the student council) I'm glad that it's over because I feel ready to do something new.
My first step to do something new will be going to southern Finland for 3 months to be an au pair for a Finnish family. (The village I'll be living in is called Tervalampi and it's in the region of Vihti.) My plane will leave on May 16 and I'm already really excited! :-) I'll be looking after two boys (7 and 9 years old) and will try to teach them some English. As of yet I don't speak any Finnish, but I'll probably learn a few important phrases while I'm there.
On August 23 I'll take a plane to Costa Rica. I'll stay there for one day and then I'll take a bus to Panama (Boquete) where I'll start my internship in a hotel which will last 6 months. I've never been to Latin America before and it's probably going to be very interesting for me! I hope I'll be able to improve my Spanish there (although my boss will be German and most guests will be American).
After my internship I'll plan to fly to North Carolina, USA to spend a few weeks or possible months with my former host family. It's more or less just going to be a holiday for me because I'm not allowed to work in the US. And after that? I don't know...I'll keep you informed! :-P
