Amazing time!

Dec 21, 2015

I loved my trip to Finland!
We were able to take trips to neighboring Estonia and Sweden as well, but Finland itself is great. The program allowed me to stay with an amazing family, make great friends, and visit fascinating places! A group of us explored abandoned ruins on the outskirts of the capital and learned to get lost in the beautiful streets.
