Sisu (look it up... or come to Finland with us!)
I've hitchhiked through the Angolan war zone (don't worry- this does not ever belong to a GEA itinerary), acted in an educational TV show in 5th grade (this was Finnish TV mind you- if I am lucky 5000 people watched this) and have 3 amazing adventurers I call my kids
...students have meaningful hands-on experiences and "a-ha" moments that stem from class discussions within a safe and encouraging environment... and which translate to a lifetime of learning, good citizenship and contentment 🤓
All of them!
...the Hanging Monastery near Datong in Inner Mongolia. We got here by local train from Beijing.. such a beautiful place!
