Visit to Suomenlinna Fortress

Suomenlinna Fortress was one of the highlights of our trip! After a short ferry ride, we stepped onto this UNESCO World Heritage island and explored its old stone walls, tunnels, and green hills. It was fascinating to see how history and modern life blend together — with locals having picnics right next to centuries-old cannons. The sea breeze and views of Helsinki made it a perfect afternoon escape.

To stay active during our time abroad, Mateo and Nick decided to try something new — a boxing class! The trainer welcomed us with great energy and showed us the basics of stance, movement, and punches. It was tough but incredibly fun, and after an hour of sweat and teamwork, we left the gym feeling stronger and more motivated than ever. Definitely a workout to remember!

Exploring Kuninkaanportti

Mateo and Nick also took a small trip to Kuninkaanportti, a peaceful area surrounded by beautiful Finnish nature.

Casino visit in Helsinki

One evening, we decided to explore a different side of Helsinki and visited the local casino. It wasn’t about gambling, but about experiencing the city’s nightlife in a responsible way. The elegant atmosphere, live music, and friendly staff made it a memorable evening. Some of us tried small games just for fun, while others enjoyed snacks and conversation in the lounge. It was a great way to relax together after a week of work and school — an evening filled with laughter, lights, and shared experiences rather than luck and bets.

Once we arrived, the competitive spirit kicked in — everyone gave their best in various challenges, from sports to creative problem-solving. It was inspiring to see how students from all over Finland came together to share ideas, teamwork, and a lot of laughter.
