I’m in a plane again. I’ve slept the last hour and I’m on my way to Stockholm to transfer flights and then head home to Finland. The problem is that there was 40 minutes between the planes, which is totally fine, but then they started renewing one of the flight strips in Brussels, and so […]

Did I build a ship to wreck
When I was little, I was always thought about who those thin-haired, middle-aged, suit-and-tie business people with their small black portfolios, were. Now I know. I’m one of them, except for the thin hair, the fact that my passport says I’m 16, the tie-lessness and that the portfolio is a Fjällräven backpack. Yup, I’m traveling […]
Breathe out, breathe in
Sometimes I look out random windows and I go like. Wow. Just. Wow. These last weeks have been amazing, stressful and still so unbelievable. My summerjob might just be the coolest ever, and I’m really sorry I haven’t had time to upload all the pictures I’ve taken, they’re coming! Up here you find the first […]
In theory it’s okay
FSS and family-weekend behind. FSS new board had their first meeting in Helsinki, so I was stuck there from Friday to Sunday, going home to Porvoo to sleep, and on Saturday to celebrate the marriage of my cousin and his wife, and the baptizing of their youngest child. It was such a nice day! I […]
Finally here
Another awesome day behind! HECO (Student Central Organisation of the Helsinki metropolitan area) where I’m a board member (surprise) arranged a concert on the Esplanade. Helisinki city owns a stage there, and we contacted them earlier in the spring and got to use the stage for free. Suddenly I was in charge and so I’ve […]
It’s a way of life
First day at my new work place! I got the dream summer job at the Finnish broadcasting company YLE. I’ll be working with Lotta (last picture) at the youth radio channel X3M. We’ll do some vlogs, write some things and hopefully read some news or something like that! The overall feeling about the structure of […]
We’re still living like that
WOW. How did I earn this life. Second night in a row in AMAZING company, with good food and party feeling. I’m in the bus home from Helsinki, where the Helsinki’s Swedish-speaking Student’s Central Organisation HECO organized the annual graduation dinner Studentmiddagen. We were a group of four 16-yearolds and one 17-yearold organizing the event […]
And hold on to these years
Saturday. Graduationday. I love this feeling! Summer in the air, proud parents and relatives, relieved and free graduates, happy youth and party everywhere. It’s so nice to celebrate with all these people. Okay I sound really corny today but haha. Otto’s and Nicholas’ graduation parties were nice, I totally hang out eith grandmothers and […]
Soon we’ll be there too
Totally awesome and crazy day! Me and Matias from the Prakticums Student Council held a speech and the graduation in the Finlandia-hall this morning. The graduation was absolutely fabulous, and I’m so proud to say that I’m a student in that school. Amazing singers, speakers, teachers, principals and STUDENTS. Such a beautiful and happy event. […]
Straight from the bottle
See how beautiful Helsinki can be? I wish I had the time, the energy and the friends to just go and sit in the Esplanadepark and talk, but I’ve got tons of shit to do, I’m supertired and my friends are all working, living in Porvoo or otherwise just too damn far away. Or already […]
