Blondies lost in Spain - welcome on board!

Hello, dear readers.

We are Fiia and Angela. Two blondies from the very north of Europe. From beautiful Finland and Estonia. Almost a year ago in February we both decided that it's time for new adventures and we applied for European Solidarity Corps project in Spain. We knew that it means a possibilty of getting accepted to a project of 10 months, living next to a capital city Madrid, in a bit smaller town Majadahonda, working with local youth, teaching them English and meanwhile learning Spanish with all our senses. We both believe that everything goes as it has to and here we are - living in Majadahonda, working in local centro juvenil and calling Spain our home now.

With this very first blogpost we invite you to the journey with us. Fasten the seatbelt and be ready for honest podcast discussions about our work life, choices, beautiful, challenging and teaching moments while living abroad. There will be written post with all the most important information about European Solidarity Corps, how you can reach for this kind of working and living away from your home country possibilites. And of course - as pictures say more than thousand words, we will share photos and videos of our time here with you. Are you ready?

Vamos!

 Abrazos, 
Fiia and Angela

This is the end of a rainbow...

... where no one can be too sad. These are the famous lyrics of Finnish band Sunrise Avenue. These are also the words we sang in Alicante now already more than a month ago and this is how we still feel and will feel about this experience. This was a real rainbow! With sun, rain and a lot of colors. And we are extremely happy to have this experience as part of our lives now. We are so thankful that you have been on that road with us, through our blog, Instagram and podcast episodes. Thank you, it have been an amazing ride!
