Satu Heart San Fran

Golden Gate Bridge



Castro - A bit gayer district



Ok, now I've found my love in US - Lively, lovely, colorful, sunny, pretty and warm San Fran!!

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

Vegas baby!!

Shalalaa. Let's got to VEGAS!!







Luxor - my home in Vegas!!



Cathouse and some cats in da house..





Two more nights to go my love LV,

Sutusatu

First touch of LA

First I had the last supper with my loooovely friends, those poor little shrimps.. ;)



Then started the looong loooooooong trip, flights Helsinki-Heathrow-LAX, and finally the first stop - springly LA!



The real first touch of LA - traffic. AND some serious jet lag and sleep.



Today we're heading to the next stop - VEGAS BABY!!

Absurd

Time flies. Felt so absurd to finally leave for that waited world around trip. Boarding time in a second.

But first, one memory from my last week, trip to Bremen - preparing pizza à la Napoletano.



Stay tuned, I'll update my adventures around the world. Ciaoooooo!

Letting go

'You're living hectic. Work, studies, parties, trips around, moving home and some work more. Suddenly you realize you've time. It's the time you've been waiting for, time to start making those dreams that you made somewhere in the middle of all that work and stress come true.'

All done now. Finally I've time and then I have my dreams. Where should I start? How do I keep the things that I love in my life? What do I do with all this time I have? There are so many good things in my past life, memories that make me smile. Why did I ever want to leave that life behind? I know I need changes in my life, but how do I know if a particular change is good or not?

Letting go the past and all the comfort you used to have is the biggest part of moving on. Being afraid of the future may make you stick to the old good habits and hoods. You need bravery, support and a little craziness to jump, to start living the life so many people only dream of.

I always had to leave far to see close. This time I flew to Germany to realize how lost I am. A good friend suggested reading, gives a new point of view for any situation. I agree. I add to this recipe music, dance, talking and some time just to be. This is my plan to let it all go.

Hip hop in a suit..

.. and so believable! Blogging dealing with dance you may find from my new custom blog for this lovely subject in satufav.blogspot.com.

Finally!

It's less than two weeks, and it's time for this girl to finally leave:

25.1.2011 ...

Los Angeles - Las Vegas - San Francisco
Auckland
Sydney - Melbourne
Abu Dhabi
London - Bremen - Rest of Europe

Believe in your dreams and they'll meet you one day!

+30 to -30

These are the coldest times of the year here up north. Outside it's been around -15, -20 for a while now, just getting colder all the time. Promising -30 is also about to arrive.

One Nordic experience to try for you people:

Step out from a warm (+30C) room full of candles..



.. to the freezing, crisp winter air (up to -30C) ..



.. and experience Finland!

Feel ..

.. the heat through these lyrics!

24 - 2 = 22

The same day we had the 24-hour-birthgiving, I also turned 22. I received more than 200 congrats from all over the globe and a huge amount of hugs and kisses. I want to THANK YOU all lovely people for remembering me on Tuesday, November the 30th!



Special thanks to Liv, one speacial and lovely Italian that managed to send me amazingly beautiful flowers despite the seas and countries between us, AND to a good friend/ the best flatmate I've had, Liisa for surprising me with candles and a lovely dinner after such a tiring event the next day!

24

The tradition for the 4th year team entrepreneurs at Team Academy is to participate and give all of your knowledge in a 24-hour-birthgiving. And what does this actually mean?

'Get a case from a customer at 12.00 o'clock, try to solve the problem, and present the perfection 24 hours later, at 12.00 the next day.'

It's about to give a birth to something new for the customers. With my team of 15 persons, unelMania we got 3 cases to solve on Tuesday November the 30th. Worked hard and after the presentation a huge part in me felt very empty. I realized it's all coming in to an end here. My last real participation..



I think this life's one huge 24. A mission to save a part of the world. I hope we did piece of our job this week, check out those moments HERE!

Paris delighted of dance for the 4th time

51 crews sent videos in advance for pre-selections of Paris Dance Delight 4. 23 crews made it and arrived at Theâtre des Variétés in Paris November 21st 2010. Our crew was among those, nervous backstage, waiting..

The show started 9pm, first was the show of Parisian crew 'Swaggers', six amazingly talented women. After the winners it was our turn. Keep your mind clear and just flirt, it's all about being a diva mannequin.

I really want to thank all the girls (Illi, Rita, Saara, Tiikku and Veera), Juste Debout, audience, Liv and everyone who made this experience possible. Paris really showed its power! Waiting for the 5th annual Delight year 2011..

J'adore Paris

I love many things in Paris..


Lovely boutiques


Amis


Cafés avec petit déjeuner


Unique ideas - Sweat Shop Paris


Most of all, I love my love.

Sweet 16

Ye, that was me last time I was in Paris - just a teenager, very very sweet 16-year-old girl. It was a school trip, with my best friends though. We all lived in families, a little bit outside of Paris, near Versailles.

First time I visited Paris was at the age of 14, same kind of school trip. I also stayed in one family, in Gournay sur le Marne, other side of Paris. Tonight I'll meet that family again, I'm staying at Florence's house for first two nights. I have definitely changed since those years! As I suppose they've too.. I know what kind of house to expect, but the rest - I have absolutely no idea! Wiser tomorrow. And wiser than 7 years ago.

Paris Dance Delight 4

It's time to try some Delight Parisien:



Dancing with the girls at the Théâtre des Variétés next Sunday, 21st of November. Feel it!

What scares you the most?

Fire? [ ]
Death? [ ]
Relationship? [ ]
Terrorism? [ ]
Viruses? [ ]
Leaving home? [ ]
Happiness? [X]

Ask yourself?

Very basics..

.. of sustainability. To keep this Earth alive and for everyone of us to enjoy!

Beauty and decisions

What a cold beauty this morning! Had to stop to photograph..



Reports, meetings, and it's dark again. Welcome to some of these Nordic countries!

During this hectic day, we finally made some important decisions too with our team, routes for US next Jan/Feb. There're 14 of us flying first to Los Angeles the 25th of January 2011. Then we'll split a bit..

Eliel, Kati, Mervi and Eeva will travel in the same car with me these places:

LA - Las Vegas - San Diego - Tijuana - LA

Peace for the one that survives from the tour alive with these crazy personalities!
