So it begins!

We have said here the word adventure a lot of times - our way to USA really was an adventure. We are more than happy to invite you to the road to Indiana with us... Sorry, to New York!

At 5am in the morning waiting for our flight at our beautiful little airport in Tallinn

So it begins! On the early morning of 17th July we started our journey from Tallinn Airport to the USA. Everything was going smoothly until the captain of our flight to Newark announced the delay of plane because of the weather. And soon even more surprising news were on the way: our flight to Indianapolis was cancelled. Which ment for us a whole day and evening at New York City. This turned out to be a wonderful evening exploring the Time Square and an amazing day visiting Brooklyn bridge, walking around Central park and discovering Chinatown. Of course not everything was going smoothly, but it was an awesome surprise and now looking back on everything, it turned to be a breathtaking adventure. We were truly happy to have our little expreience in New York, which is forever in our hearts. And now the planned part of the programme can begin!

 There's one thing we are getting really good at - waiting

 One happy bunch of people after 24 hours of travelling visiting the Time Square and getting to know each other and the pretty New York

 Day two in New York - all fresh, happy as always and ready to discover the city!


Our final stop in New York - Central Park and as you can see - we do enjoy life even if it gives us delayed and canceled flights. You know, life is an adventure!

Hello guys from Bloomington! We've been here since Friday and for me it have been really awe some time to be in U.S. But lets start with Friday - we ate breakfast and learned some teamwork, individual things and packed our things. When the bus took us, we drove to Bloomington. It was really sad to leave because there was so many amazing people around you. But the knowledge that we are going to meet  our host-families, today, took over all emotions. Baltic States youth before meeting their host-families in Indiana University Now the next thing - host-families. New family for two weeks. We get their names on Friday and about 3 hours after that we met them. I were so exited because I didn't knew nothing about them. My and Agathe's host family: (left) Agathe, Carmen, Vanessa, Ryan, Carsyn and Ashlyn. On Friday we talked and got to know everyone. On Saturday we started day with garage sales, which was amazing and everything was so cheap. Why don't we ha...

Heey! My name is Kristina. I'm 16 years old. I'm from Kohtla-Jarve. I study at Ahtme Gymnasium. I love playing the guitar, reading, writing stories and meeting new people. I feel so happy and excited to go to the U.S. I have never participated in such kind of projects and to be honest I am a little bit nervous but I'm sure that it's going to be an awesome experience. At first, when I heard about this project I really wanted to try it but I wasn't sure if I should because it felt so unreal but my best friend persuaded me to try. So, after my application and a Skype inteview I got an email with my name in the list of other participants. I can't even describe how happy and proud I was. It was a dream come true to me. So, never be afraid of trying new things and always believe in yourself! So, I'm looking forward to this trip with our amazing, friendly, kind and funny team. We're glad to share our adventures with you!

Hello everyone out there, my name is Carmen Ceisy Lehter and I`m 15 years old, the youngest in Estonian group. I`m going to 9th grade at Tartu Karlova School . I'm so blessed to be here, in this living situation - in a few days, I am one of these young people who is going to the United States with the Youth Leadership Program . I can't wait for this experience and I need to admit that I'm a little bit nervous too, but in a good way. Now a little about me. I'm from Tartu, Estonia. It's like one of the biggest cities in Estonia, but now this is small for me and that's why I love this town. Here is everything I need and you can see a lot of nature here. But I moved here in 2017 (yeah, last year) and before I lived in a small "town" named Koeru, it's almost the heart of Estonia. Middle of Estonia. And there is nature everywhere, almost no traffic, no malls etc. And then me, a little country girl, moved to a big city. Yeah, firstly Tartu was...
