Being selected to participate in Coverfly’s Fall 2020 Pitch Week event was a great experience for me! I'd missed out on the previous cycle in the spring, so I applied sort of last-minute on a whim after seeing a reminder email from Coverfly about the final deadline. When I was notified that I’d been officially selected to pitch to at least one company, I was definitely excited.

Especially when you consider the cost of gas, activities, and an expensive rental in a prime area.

A weekend trip to New York City (NYC) isn't just something you throw together at the last minute. It takes planning, research, countless hours of poring over to-do lists, destination guides, and travel videos if you want to plot your dream vacation to the big city.

When you picture Finland you probably don’t think about urban street art. But over the past few years, dozens of local and international artists have transformed the face of Helsinki’s historically industrial neighborhoods, wall by wall with murals at train stations, residential buildings, underpasses, and just about every blank wall in Helsinki.
