During the Erasmus project trip to Bulgaria, I got to know very nice and friendly people and got new friends and acquaintances. I learned about the history, geography, and culture of Bulgaria.

I was surprised by the warm and mild weather. Such a thing could never happen in Latvia. I was surprised by the friendly and nice attitude of my project mates. The first meeting was the best to remember because of the wonderful atmosphere. The goodbye event was the most emotional for me because I was sad to leave the people and the country.

Although the program activities weren't appropriate for my age I liked the excursions around the city of Varna and the first capitals.

MY ERASMUS+ EXPERIENCE IN SPAIN

My name is Aksels, I am from Latvia. I am so glad for this opportunity to visit Spain. I had so many new experiences and made new friends from other countries. The project was not just serious, it was more like entertainment. We visited a lot of beautiful and charming places we have never been to. I was really happy that I had a chance to go there because I love traveling and I have never visited Spain before. The project was very amazing, the organizers have done a great job and the Spanish kids were crazy. The Erasmus+ is a good chance for students who know English and like traveling. We learned about robotics and electronics. I liked that because I like electronic things and before I had a little experience with electronics. Definitely, I would go again to Spain, I really love this country.

Hello, I'm Elza from Latvia! I was part of the Erasmus mobility in February 2023. Ah, I will remember this experience forever. I'm afraid there aren't enough words in English to describe how I felt about the trip to Samora Correia, Portugal. To say the least - it was an awesome and amazing event. I am extremely grateful to Erasmus and my school for this opportunity.

The people in Portugal were very kind and welcoming to me. In the previous Erasmus mobility, in Latvia, I was part of the welcoming team, and had made friends with the Portuguese team, and so when I came to Portugal I had the chance to meet them again. I was very happy to see them, already having friends in Portugal made me feel safer and be able to enjoy the trip more. My Portuguese friends told me about Portuguese culture, food, traditions, and much more.

During the trip I saw many impressive buildings with absolutely beautiful architecture, we visited a monastery, and it was impressive, gorgeous, and even dreamy!

I loved getting to know the everyday life in Portugal, it was fun comparing it to my home country.

Another thing I loved about Portugal was the weather, it was very warm. It almost felt like summer. In Latvia, it was very cold before we left, there were even patches of snow on the ground. It surprised me that this was the weather for February, the Portuguese students told me that in their opinion the weather was quite cold.

I also enjoyed plenty of activities outside the ones planned at the school, for example, my Portuguese friends took me with them for taekwondo lessons. It was very exciting, I really enjoyed the activity!

During the week I learned a lot, met new people, made friends, enjoyed beautiful views, and ate delicious food. It was a very eventful week!
