Copenhagen 🇩🇰

So I went on a weekend trip with my family last weekend to Copenhagen 🇩🇰 I've always wanted to visit Denmark but I guess I expected too much. I mean don't get me wrong, Copenhagen was beautiful with all its old buildings, the little mermaid statue, Nyhavn and Tivoli but all the streets were under construction because they are building a metro there.

Also, what's with the driving? Everyone was driving like in Middle East or sth...no one used the blinker, they just hunked and showed with the hand to go first. It was scary. And then the bikes... Everyone were riding their bikes, without a helmet btw, and you had to be careful not to get hit. The bikers had better roads than the walkers... It also isn't that beautiful when all streets are full of parked bikes so you barely have space to walk on the sidewalks. I mean yes it's better for the environment but still, I'm happy that I don't have to live there.

Besides all these things it was still worth visiting for and I had a fun trip even tho I got sick on the second day...thanks to my sister. I loved the Nyhavn harbor and the Field's (Scandinavia's biggest mall) wasn't that bad either even tho I don't really like shopping 🙈

I thinl that's all I have for you today 😜 now some pics 💋

Where did the summer go?

Okay, so yes I do realise it's been too long since my last post but this time I've really been busy 🙈 I feel like the June just flew by, like it lasted only 2 weeks.

I had my Chilean host sister here and I feel like I had sth pretty much everyday. We went to Helsinki center, to Suomenlinna (an old military island in front of Helsinki), to Heureka (science place with exhibitions, fun gadgets, planetarium etc), to my mom's uncle's summer cottage (went swimming to the lake, was just +18°C 😅), to Porvoo (a city about 45min drive from Helsinki, also where my bae is from ♡), to Stockholm Sweden etc . So for a girl who is an introvert, who loves being alone and just chilling at home instead of going out to bars or well anywhere especially in the evenings (yes, we do exist), it was quite a challenge. I feel like I've really gotten the fear of social situations... I'm like the black sheep of the family aince my parents and sister are like super social and out going 🙈.

What also really sucked was the poor weather we had... We've had so bad summers now for the 2 or 3 summers in a row. Last week was the best but even then the temperature didn't rise above like +24°C and it's just been raining a lot 👎. Today was a pretty good weather when I was in Helsinki with my friend but tmrw it will rain again... The global warming is really a thing and we should really do our best to even slow it down.

So what's been going on in my love life? Well, things are pretty good but my boyfriend actually now has pneumonia...and I'm just hoping that I won't get it since I've spent 2 nights with him during this time and as a kissing addict I've ofc also kissed him 💋🙈. So now, fingers crossed 😅 he now has the antibiotics so hopefully his pneumonia won't be contagious anymore since I would ofc really want to spend time with him more now while he has the permission to be away from army.

I think that's pretty much what's been happening in my life recently. Now just chilling the for a couple of weeks before starting the journey of studying to med school..😅🙈 it's so weird that for the first time in 12 years I DON'T have to go to school next week ♡👍

See you next time 😉

Photos 🌍

Even as a "citygirl" (I've always lived in Vantaa which is part of the capital area and also where the main airport is actually, + I've gone to school in Helsinki (capital city) for the past 6 years) I still enjoy the nature very much. I feel priviledged that I live in a country of thousands of lakes (actually about 188 000 just to be clear) and an amazing nature. Finland is also a pretty big country compared to our population which is only 5,4 million so there is a ton of nature that hasn't been touched especially in Lapland.

Hmmm...when I started to write this post I didn't think this would turn out to be a info package of Finland but oh well what can I say, I'm very proud of my country which is actually celebrating its 100 year Independence this year 🇫🇮❤

But as I was saying this wasn't really thr point of this post. The point was that I really love the nature and because of that I'm also really into nature photographying. I'm totally an amateur photographer but hey we can't all be pros.

I wanted to share some of my favourite photos I've taken during the last year. I also like to travel so there will be photos from my trips to Moscow(Russia) and Tromso/Senja (Norway) last year.

Hope you enjoy my photos and let me know in the comments below where are you from, which countries have you visited and where would you love to travel 🙈

I myself am from Finland as you know at least now. I've visited 12 countries ( some more than once): Sweden, Estonia, Norway, Russia, Spain, Italy, Austria, Germany, UK, Turkey, Dubai and USA. I would love to travel to Australia someday 💖

Stockholm 🛳🇸🇪

Last Saturday (18.2) I went to a Helsinki - Stockholm -cruise with other seniors from my high school (Abiristeily in Finnish). I wasn't that excited because I'm really stressing over the finals I have in a couple of weeks but it was pretty nice still.

Most of us were super drunk already on our first night but I wasn't since I barely drink (Yes, I'm 18-year-old FINN who doesn't really drink and started "drinking" at the age of 18 so when it is really legal). What got most of my friends drunk pretty quickly was probably the fact that we played "Truth or drink" ✌After that we went to the club, sang karaoke and danced until 3am.

Next morning we had arrived to Stockholm, Sweden were we (well the ones who weren't that hungover 😂) spent a couple of hours just walking around and shopping. I've been to Sweden loads of times so there was just a few places I wanted to visit such as Victoria's Secret and Sephora (we don't have Sephora in Finland 👎). I really hate spending money on myself but this time I spent about 60€ for just cosmetics. I bought this package from VS that had 5 lotions (30€) and "Too Faced" blush/highlighter (28€). I've never owned anything from the brand Too Faced so this time I just had to buy something 💖

The night started pretty much on the same way as the one before. Drinking games and dancing at the club. I barely slept during the night since my best friend kinda decided to be so drunk that she was throwing up for 3 hours in the bathroom ✌ yes love you too 💋😂 We arrived back to Helsinki on Monday morning around 10.30am and I was so tired that I just grabbed a taxi.

Rest of the day I just spend with my boyfriend which was amazing 💖 I think I explained my feelings towards him pretty clearly on my previous post so I'll just shut up now 😜
