After my stay in Stockholm for almost a week I continued my journey to Italy. I arrived in Venice and took the train to a coastal city calle Trieste. I came here to visit my friend I who was working here during the summer.

While she was working I went for a little sightseeing around town. I saw something that was probably an old amphitheatre, visited a cathedral and saw the beautiful view over Trieste from there. I tried some Italian gnocchi with bolognese, which was so much different than the gnocchi in Finland. In the evening we had some apperitivos, which means almost pre-food drinks. And of course we had a super delicious pizza.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Except for the Festival I visited in Sweden I also went for a little "sightseeing", shopping and met a friend from Gothenburg during my stay. Stockholm was really beatiful during my stay and it was very warm outside to be in the beginning of June. During my stay in Stockholm I was living in my aints apartment in Fruängen, about 20min away from the centre by the underground. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My first ever festival I went to was this summer in Stockholm, to Summerburst! I thought why not go big and go to Stockholm for my first festival... and I loved it! We all did! The people in Sweden are so lovely and friendly and the atmosphere at the festival was amazing. It was a two day festival with a lot of different DJs, some from Sweden and some from other parts of the world.

 

David Guetta was even playing "sexy bitch" and we were reminded of some nice secondary school memories. Steve Angello from Sweden played som very nice tunes accompanied with a lot of fireworks closer to midnight. Kygo from Norway were playing "firestone" and we were relaxing with a cider. It was amazing! The most amazing moment for me was when i was jumping in the middle of the crowd to W&W's song "Spack Jarrow". Can't get better than W&W! And not to forget all the other great djs and musicians that were there! Armin van Buuren, Alesso, Icona Pop, Mike Perry, Alan Walker, and many mooooore! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's absolutely crazy how much I have done this summer and yet it feels like I have done nothing! I have been traveling, chilling, working, meeting friends and doing other fun stuff! This summer has gone by way too fast and next week I am already leaving for Sweden... It's been an amazing summer and hopefully it's gonna be an even more amazing school year to come in Jönköping, Sweden! 

 

As I have had no time to share with you my adventures during this summer, I am gonna post them here is quite many parts! :D Hopefully you will have the patient to look at all the pics and read all my stories! 

 

 

In the end of May me and my sis got dressed and went to Ritz in Vaasa. We had an end of season party for all the volunteers that have been working at Ritz this season. The dresscode was your favorite musician. But as all the musicians today dress so casual I decided to go for the 60s 70s Janis Joplin and my sis got dressed as some singer from a rock or metal band. 

We got very good food at the party and we sang a lot of songs and had some games. It was a very successful party! I'm going to miss the people in the fall when I'm moving to Sweden...

 

 

 

 

It is starting to look a lot like summer here in Finland! It's May and it is quite warm outside. Last week we had 20 degrees several days. And at this point of the year it doesn't really get dark anymore during the night! It's absolutely lovely, except if you wanna go to bed early and you can't sleep because it't bright outside.. The first picture is almost at 11 o'clock in the evening and the second is at 5.30 in the morning, so the sun is not gone for too long as you can see! 

 

 

Me and my sister is very close and act very silly/crazy when we are together! We come up with all sort of fun stuff together, like foot bath, but then we had only one bath to fit four feet in! And then she is always there when you are trying to take a picture :D <3

The last post from London! It was so fun going with the underground and the stops looked all different! It was very handy with an oyster card in London, as you could travel with both underground and busses with it. During our stay in London we also visited a few markets. I especially loved the Camden market, and camden over all, with all the cool stores! 

 

We also decided to go visit the Brittish Museum, becuase it was really close to our hostel in London. We saw all kinds of stuff, the mummies were pretty cool! And as huge of a fan I am of doctor who I found a 10 "satsumas" bill at the museum, which were used when the santa clauses attack London in one episode! The lst picture is from the theatre, were we watched the popular show Wicked. They were amazing singers and actors! Could stop singing after we had been at there! 

 

Eventful and extremely funny weekend behind us! On Friday evening I joined friends at Novia's student union Filicia's Birthday celebration at Restaurant Central in Vaasa. Everyone was looking fabulous with their long dresses and hairdo's. I borrowed my sisters black dress and had her to do my hair and makeup as always! 

 

As strarter we had salmon in three different ways and white wine. Main course was a delicious beef fillet with chanterelle sauce and vegetables, combined with red wine. For dessert we got a cheesecake with lingonberry sauce and ice cream. I was more than happy with the food! We had a good time singing and listening to two good speakers during the evening. For coffee we all looked like Lady Gagas too! 

 

We continued the celebration on Saturday with a brunch at the student unions facilities at the school in Vaasa.

Mix the spices together and rub it into the meat

 

 

Whilst in London we also visited Madame Tussauds, as one must! And at the time we were there they had a new exhibition with Star Wars, so of course we had to go fight the dark power! I even got to meet the master who taught me a few tricks..

 

Of course my lovely Mr Bond was also there, all six of them! We also said HI to the Royal family, Stephen Hawkings and many more! And my two favorite guys, Captain America & Ironman, were there so I could hug them! 

 

I thought it was about time to share some pics from my trip to London that I made in October! My friend from France and I met in London for a weeks vacation and as it was our first trip ever there we wanted to see as much as possible. The first pic is from the hostel we were staying at, Smart Hostel at Russels Square. The rooms were quite small with beds on top of eachother, the whole thing moved if someone turned over in there sleep, but thank god I am not a light sleeper so I was good! 

 

The rest of the pics are from are trip on the bus and on the river cruise boat! It was quite cold sitting in a bus with no roof.. but we got around almost the whole of London and we were happy! We saw Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, the Queens castle, the London eye and sooo much more from there! And we could hop on and off to take pics at all the places too! The river cruise was also nice as we made it when the sun was setting and got a really beautiful view of the river and the Tower Bridge! All the old buildings were so beautiful and the last picture is a replica of Shakespeares theatre.

I have been trying some new smoothie recipes recently or making up my own ones. One more successful than the other, but you never find the best one without some failures! The first one is a green smoothie and the other one more of a berry smoothie. 

 

Christmas is soon here! Decorations are being put up, gingerbread & candy is being made and of course gifts are being rapped in paper! There is a lot of gifts under the tree even if we said we wouldn't buy any this year! ooops! 

I'm working on christmas eve until 12 and then afterwards I'm free for 3 days! Woop woop! Then it's time to meet up with some friends and see how their Christmas is.
