Take a break!

Once again it was time to gather with creative young team entrepreneurs to make each other understand this complicated world and life a bit more. I had a lot of interesting, deep conversations. How funny it is I have so many things in common with these innovators, and at the same time countless of differences.

We walked in a forest close to 15 kilometers, by thin paths through the network of living creatures. During those hours I started thinking very basics of human life.

‘If you slip away from the wooden path, you might get hurt. It’s important to have someone close enough to help you survive.'

‘If you try to move forward and look back at once, you’ll get blind for the future and can’t get a clear picture of the past.’

‘All the things are connected to one another, some just underneath the surface.’

‘We all have different backgrounds, still we share this special moment of trust and warmth.’

‘This is my life on paper. How will I create my future?’

Danke schön Deutschland!

Hallo Deutschland! And the World.

My very first time in Germany, first stop in Bremen. Flew here this morning, such a nice sunny autumn day. I'm so in love but weather nor changing the country are NOT the main reasons. This is how I felt today at 11 am:

'The excitement of a new place. Here I am, standing in front of the airport terminal of Bremen. So many questions running in my head. What does the city centre look like? Is Livio still as handsome as few weeks ago? What kind of car does he have? What will happen during next four days? Fact is, no one knows. Yet. This waiting part creates such a funny feeling in your stomach - hopes and wishes of the time of your life!'

Never any easier, never get used to the feeling. In the end, everything went so different that I was wondering at 11 am: city looks exactly what I thought, Livio didn't come by car and yes, he's still very good-looking boy. The second you fly, you feel you're living. I recommend. This is the part I really AM flying. But remember, FLY SAFE PEOPLE!

Future is a mystery

Why do I always go and look for troubles, problems and hard situations? I guess I don’t believe I can be happy with all the beautiful things that I already have in my life. Now, looking my life outside a little makes me realize I actually am in a good point. I should be much happier considering all this that I am.

Sometimes you need to take a little distance, stop for a second and really think what to do with your life. It might be enough to have one chilly evening at home or then travel to another side of the world for a year. In my case, I’ve always started thinking during travelling.

Now I have a feeling I do need to stop for a while to figure out the direction for my future. I’ve too many ideas, thoughts, ideal situations and choices to choose in my head, need to clear it somehow. I’ll just try to take more time for myself, travel and see the world. At least few smaller trips coming this autumn and January the 25^th my first flight leaves for a 10-weeks-world-around-trip. Route’s also now decided, Helsinki – Los Angeles – Auckland – Sydney – Abu Dhabi – London – Helsinki.

While still waiting, I’ve seen lovely Italian Livio that visited me in Jyväskylä, met lots of new cool people, seen awaking movies, been drinking too much tea, seen myself in television as well as my sister dancing with tears of joy, and slept - mostly well. Getting ready for my exciting life.. Oh when? Trying to remember, it is RIGHT NOW!
