Between Northern Lights and New Friendships: Our Adventure in Finland
Our recent trip to Finland, within the Erasmus+ programme, has been much more than just a stay in another country. It has been a transformative experience, full of learning, discoveries and moments that will stay with us forever.
From the very first moment, the warmth of the welcome at Opisto Kaukametsä school broke any cultural or linguistic barrier. The Finnish teachers and classmates welcomed us with open arms, ready to share their culture and way of life with us. We attended Finnish classes, where we learned in a fun way through music, and we also had the opportunity to share spaces with Spanish students, creating a truly enriching linguistic and cultural exchange.
But the experience was not only limited to the classroom. Finland gave us unique moments in its stunning natural environment. Walking through snowy forests, seeing frozen rivers and feeling the purity of the northern air were unforgettable experiences. In addition, we were lucky enough to fulfil dreams such as seeing the Northern Lights, participating in a husky safari and trying cross-country skiing, an activity that allowed us to further enjoy the vastness of Finnish nature and meet local people. One of the most incredible challenges we took on was ice swimming—an experience that pushed us out of our comfort zone but left us with an amazing feeling of achievement and renewal.
One of the most rewarding aspects was the human connection, not only with our Finnish hosts, but also with our fellow travellers. Through laughter, anecdotes and moments of shared amazement, we created bonds that will undoubtedly last a long time. In addition, this trip gave us the opportunity to practice English in a real-life context, improving our confidence and fluency in the language.
We would like to express our sincere thanks to the entire Boadilla Language School for making this experience possible, and especially to Dana and Suni for their support and dedication. We also thank everyone who welcomed us in Finland for their generosity and warmth. We take with us not only academic learning, but also a new perspective on the world and a suitcase full of unforgettable memories.
This trip has been a window into a fascinating culture and a reminder that learning goes far beyond books. Thank you, Kajaani, for all that you have given us!

Meine Reise nach Kajaani
Ich möchte Ihnen über meine Reise nach Kajaani erzählen. Die Leute da sind sehr nett und die Schule ist sehr klein aber sehr schön.
Es war alles verschneit und die Landschaft war wunderbar. Wir haben einen Husky-Safari gemacht und es war sehr kalt aber unvergesslich!
Wir alle haben eine gute Clique gebildet und haben viel gelacht. Wir haben das Nordlicht, Kaninchen und Rentiere gesehen.
Zusammenfassend kann man sagen, dass es eine tolle Erfahrung war!

Our Kajaani experience
Our experience in Kajaani was truly amazing from beginning to end. At first, being the youngest made me feel a bit nervous, but I soon realized that the older you are, the wilder your inner child becomes. We explored a stunning region, completely surrounded by nature, and were immersed in a culturally enriching environment.
The Finnish people were incredibly kind, and we were lucky to meet many locals. One of them, whom we met in a Spanish class for Finns, even invited us to try cross-country skiing and enjoy blueberry juice.
We took part in many activities both, in and out of the school, making the most of the breathtaking frozen lakes. There was no shortage of laughter, even though some moments had us crying from joy.
Two lifelong dreams came true during the program: witnessing the Northern Lights and going on a husky sleigh safari. I'll carry this memory with me forever.

Nuestro viaje a Finlandia
¡¡¡Ya estamos de vuelta!!!😃, y ya estoy deseando volver a Finlandia, deseando que todos conozcáis Kajaani.
Hemos
disfrutado asistiendo al centro Kaukametsän opisto a clases de finés
(aprendiendo a través de la música, lo que lo ha hecho muy interesante y
divertido), clases de yoga, español, pintura, cocina (¡qué riquísima
comida pudimos degustar!😋).
Hemos intercambiado impresiones con
nuestros nuevos compañeros y profesores. Ha sido un auténtico placer
disfrutar de sus amenas clases y compartir una muy interesante lecture
sobre Traditional food in Kainuu.
Hemos visitado el museo Kainuu y el
colegio Lehtikangas Comprehensive School, moderna escuela con grandes
ventanales que conectan con la impresionante naturaleza que les rodea,
todo un lujo para profesores y alumnos.
Y, por último, pero no menos
importante, hemos podido disfrutar de la maravillosa naturaleza que
rodea Kajaani, árboles infinitos, río nevado y parajes de ensueño a
través de gratificantes paseos y experiencias increíbles como ice swimming y bonfire (incluso con -13º 🥶😁). Así que, como os
podéis imaginar, me he traído un trocito de Kajaani que siempre me
encantará compartir con vosotros y un grupo de estupendos compañeros a
los que nunca olvidaré.
Gracias a tod@s por tan cariñosa acogida y
gracias Suni, Dana, Ana, Heli, Pirjo, Kristiina y Sirpa por haber hecho
posible esta enriquecedora experiencia en Finlandia 🇫🇮
