Blondies at voluntary training

Hola chicos y feliz ano nuevo!

Hi everyone, we are here again with 2020 energy and enthusiasm!


Now is the time to memorize our on-arrival training. Training was held in December in gorgeous Cantabria in North of Spain. Our project include two trainings in Spain; On-arrival training and Mid-term evaluation and now we have experienced the first one. Training took six days and we stayed in hostel with beautiful countryside view with a lake!<3
There was about 25 volunteer around the Spain participating this training. During these six days our schedule looked something like this: my voluntary project, Spanish classes, intercultural night, communication, insurance, visit Santander, evaluation + more!


So we get to know each other's and our countries, we learn more communication skills and Spanish and we visit beautiful city of Santander and important information about insurance.

We are so thankful to be part of this training and had to opportunity to meet other volunteers around the Spain. Now we have a lot of new friends! We hope that we can meet later on and enjoy our unique time here in Spain together. <3





We also filmed a short video about our training which you can find next. We hope you enjoy! If you have any questions or comments please send it to us here in our blog or in our Instagram (@blondieslostinspain)



Abrazos, 
Fiia and Angela

I knew that when the time comes to choose where I would like to make my voluntary dream come true, it will be, as a contrast for my northern background, one southern country. Spain has interested me since I was teenager, since my very first international youth exchanges when I met some amazing Spanish people.

But next to this volunteer, there are ...
