I started this blog when I first went on an exchange to Brisbane, Australia. During that experience, I discovered my love for culture, travelling and adventures. This blog has followed me since and been my forum for pictures and stories from Tanzania, South Africa, Ireland, Fiji, Malaysia, Singapore, Europe etc.

So, I never want to ever see an airport again. Spent 40 hrs on various planes and airports to reach this paradise. I don´t think I´ll come home again, purely because I never want to fly again haha.
Anyway, 40 hrs was definately worth getting to this beautiful place. 
Before I left, I was somehow worried I would not get to see any sea lions. I thought all the photos soph had shown me about the sea lions was like a lucky moment or something. I was SO wrong! They are EVERYWHERE! And they treat us humans as we are paparazzis, they come up and sniff on you and they are so curious. They swim with you and its just incredible to see this creatures being so graceful in the water. I was lucky to arrive in time for puppy season as well. Little sea lions are everywhere and they are SO cute and fluffy. I don´t think I will ever get used to this. I hope I´m not!
Me and Soph just an hour after I arrived. Getting from the airport took 1 min in the cab =)
Me and the alpha male. Hes a bit scary but very beautiful!
 
We went snorkling with turtles yesterday. Unfortunately my under water camera decided to leak in water so it is now dead =(( Luckily my SLR is still working!
There is so much to exlore here, better get out and do that Now!

WATCH THIS SPACE!

(Photo taken by my lovely friend Soph from the beach I will be on in 48hrs time!)

I've just finished packing for my 36hr flight to Galapagos tomorrow morning. I was a bit dissapointed to find out about how long time the trip will actually take. Usually, i never look at the time and I can't be bothered to calculate the hours based on time differences etc. But my dad kindly told me it would take me 36hrs all in all. (Yay!)
 
Plan is to write my home exam for my environmental uni course on the flight, by hand of course, as I'm not bringing my laptop. It will be a long one, but I'm pretty confident it will be worth it.
---> Galapagos time!

INDOOR CYCLING

Publicerad 2014-11-17 09:10:18 i Allmänt,

THIS is the investment of the year when the roads are wet, icy and slippery:
First time I've ever cycled on a turbo trainer but it was actually quite tough! Think I'll be watching TV this way now. Much more effective. Maybe I should even connect the TV to the trainer so it's impossle to watch without cycling =) Surely parents would like that too =D
 
Oh, and Mark sent me this adorable pic of my bestie. Gosh I miss her sooo much every day! <3

IT'S BEEN A WHILE..

Publicerad 2014-11-10 09:25:29 i Allmänt,

I've just not been motivated to write in a while. Writing so many job applications and am usually quite drainer afterwards. It's November. It's cold, dark and grey and people are sneezing all over the place. I've been hosting bacteria and viruses for 2 stupidly harsh November flu's within 3 weeks and it sucks. Training is suffering and I'm so incredibly restless.
Finally getting a bit better after flu #2. Sitting here starring out of the little window seing sights like these:
....who would NOT be inspired to book a little trip to somewhere nicer??
So I did:
First: I booked a trip to Tallin for mum's upcoming bday/Christmas. So she and I are going to take a cruise and visit the christmas market there. =)
Second: I BOOKED A TRIP TO GALAPAGOS ISLANDS! One of my best aussie friends, Sophia, is working on galapagos islands and had 2 weeks off in the end of Novemer. After being fed with her pictures overloaded with cuteness, I couldn't resist. In 1.5 weeks, I'm going to Galapagos. Booked this 3 days ago and also still waiting for my new passport. So you can definately expect some upcoming nice travelling pics again =D
 
Another thing I've started to keep myself busy in the November darkness is I started a silver clay course. Ive only been once but am totally hooked! This is my first ever silver clay creation, 10g pure silver:
