I had just completed my first year of Commerce at Guelph University and was excited for the possibility to gain valuable work and life experiences on this trip, while also connecting with my Estonian heritage. I was very fortunate to secure an internship working at MOMU Motorsport Museum) in Turba, supported by ESTDEV, the Estonian Centre for International Development Cooperation, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
My days were spent working in the stunning old Ellamaa Power Station building, now freshly renovated to house over 200 cars, motorbikes, and boats. From the moment I arrived, I was astonished with the architectural beauty. The red brick, the grand windows, and the elegant arches really captured my attention. Out front, a lush purple and green garden bloomed, attracting the buzzing bees who lived in their hives just thirty feet further back. It felt like a hidden paradise grounded in the serenity of this undiscovered place called Turba.
