A random fact about Finland:

Tiesitkö, että Suomi oli ensimmäinen Euroopan maa, jossa naiset saivat äänioikeuden. Vuosi oli 1906.

Translation:

Did you know that Finland was the first country to grant women the right to vote. The year was 1906.

Can't wait to meet you all in November :)!

A random fact about Hungary:

Az egyik kedvenc édességünk a Túró Rudi, ami csokoládéval bevont túró. Ezt sok másik országban nagyon furcsának találják... 🤤

One of our favourite sweets is Túró Rudi, which is sweet quark (a type of cottage cheese) coated in chocolate. This is something that non-Hungarian people find strange... 😧

An interesting fact about Estonia:

In Estonian: kas teadsid, et umbes 50% Eesti pindalast on kaetud metsaga?

In English: did you know, that almost 50% of Estonia is covered in forests?

See you in November!

This picture was made in Pärnu beach area - we have many statues of elephants in the city.

One complicated Estonian sentence:

"Viska õlu üle Ülo õe õla"

In english: " throw a beer over Ülo's sister's shoulder"

When we meet in November, I hope you can say this sentence in Estonian :D

Wish tou the best!

Suomessa liikkuminen luonnossa, marjojen ja sienten kerääminen ja yöpyminen on kaikille sallittua, eikä siihen tarvita erikseen maanomistajan lupaa.

In Finland, everyone is allowed to roam freely in nature, pick berries and mushrooms, and camp overnight without needing the landowner's permission.

This photo was taken in Slovenia - and as you can see from the photo I enjoy hiking and being outdoors.

Fact from Finland:

• Suomessa juodaan kahvia enemmän kun missään muualla maailmassa

• Finns drink more coffee than any other country in the world.

My name is Agnes Väli

Arandom fact about Estonia :

🇪🇪Eestis asub Euroopa suurim meteoriidikraater – Kaali kraater.
🇬🇧 Europe’s largest meteorite crater, Kaali Crater, is located in Estonia.

My name is Geilin and I’m a youth work student at University of Tartu. I’m from Estonia 🇪🇪.

EST: Huvitav fakt minu kohta on see, et olen pärit kevadpealinnast Türilt. See on ka mu lemmik aastaaeg.

ENG: An interesting fact about me is that I am from Türi, which is capital of spring in Estonia. It’s also my favourite season.

Can’t wait to meet all of you!🤍

A fun greeting in estonian:

Tule eile meile, võta homse ajaleht kaasa.

Come visit us yesterday, and bring tomorows newspaper with you.

People say this when someone says something that makes no sence

In Finland you might greet someone like this: moro moro mitä poro? Translation: Hey hey, what's up reindeer? This is not very usual greeting but it came to my mind when thinking about my trip to Lapland.

Huvitav fakt: Eestis on palju kauneid saari🏝! Mulle meeldib looduses aega veeta, eriti Toilas, Narvas ja Narva-Jõesuus.

Fun fact: Estonia has many beautiful islands🏝 ! I love spending time in nature, especially in Toila, Narva, and Narva-Jõesuu.

I’m really looking forward to meeting you all soon!❤️🫶

This picture was taken at the Danube bend after a few-day-long wild camping :)

In Hungary, when we meet someone, we would say: Szia (or Sziasztok in plural). It is super easy to pronounce, close to see-ya.

I'm looking forward to meet you all!

At this point I dont know what native language means (is it first language you learned or your best language) I'll just write in finnish since im coming from here.

Tiesitkö että rummut koostuvat alunperin monesta eri marssibändin soitimesta. Kaikkia eri rumpu osia kuten virveli, bassorumpu, tomit ja symbaalit soitivat eri ihmiset.

Translated:

Did you know that drumkit was originally made up of many different marching band instruments? All the different drum parts like snare, bass drum, toms and cymbals were played by different people.

Oon saunan ja kylpemisen suurystävä:)

I like sauna and baths:)

.. so Hungary should be okay :D

I am Dorci Kálmán and I live in Hungary.

This is a photo of me during a walk in a forest near to Budapest this fall, in October. 🍂

A fun fact is that my favourite time of year is autumn, so I buy a lot of things related to the season. A few weeks ago, I saw a Halloween cactus in a store and couldn't resist, so now it lives with me at home. It's really cute, it has eyes and a witch hat.🌵 Later, I can also show you pictures of it, if you are interested. :))
