Visiting Nurmes

It’s the first time i’m trave­ling into another country and it’s Finland. Before trave­ling i heard about much snow, big forests and coldness, so i was really curious to see the country.

First i arrived in Helsinki and i was disap­poin­ted because there was no snow. After 2 hours waiting for the next flying to Kuopio i was in the plane and looked outside after a few minutes, i saw snow and i was happy because in germany is snow really rare. After landing in Kuopio my the first think was to feel the snow. Then i drove to Nurmes. I arrived late in Nurmes so i got the key for my room and then go to sleep.

A day later i got my bicycle and drove thru Nurmes to see the city and other things like the markets, restau­rants or the big beauti­ful church. It was really nice to see the little city, the people and the things in it.

The Nature was beauti­ful to see! it’s one of the most prettiest thing in Finland! On the 01.03.20 i was in the Koli natio­nal park for snows­hoeing that was really cool and i took a lot of pictu­res and videos.

The only thing that makes me finish is the coldness, because i don’t know such low tempe­ra­tu­res.

A few days later i had my first conver­sa­tion with the Nurmes city manage­ment to work as a trainee for 2 month.

I’m excited to see what’s next.
