ARCHIPELAGO! This is what Finns do when they have time off. Thye go their mökki (lodge, cabin whatever you want to call it), go swimming, spend time outside and with their families, complaining about the the lack of internet connection and the amount of work that should be done in the yard, even thought they […]

The trees they fall down on their own
Two pictures from monday, we had a Youth Editorial meeting for the newspaper Östnyland. I have an article about easter and easter eggs haha in today’s newspaper, and then next week and the week after that we have election specials, so I’ve got the columns for both weeks. Right now I’m in the archipelago, spending […]
Vaikuttamo
I’m in Espoo, west of Helsinki on an exhibition for 9th graders in the city. I’m representing FSS, since this is an event organised by their local youth council to introduce school-students to politics. There’s all kinds of programme and things going, right now a debate between some candidates for the parliamentary election. […]
Let’s go get lost
Best weekend in a loong time! Chillaxed at Emil’s place with him and Märt yesterday, so random. But happy, you need that kind of funny and weird nights every now and then. And Emil and I planned our interrail. We’re GOING this SUMMER. Guys. Can you believe it? EUROPE! Okay so I’m looking at interrailing-videos […]
Let’s not look back right now
I’m looking at a bilingual election debate between the leaders of the parties in Finland. I’m kind of giggly, kind of mad and kind of facepalming my self. Half of the group are throwing out poorly put arguments on bad Swedish and the other half is playing diplomatic but only to seem like they know […]
Free falling
Some street photography shots from Sunday. We had a HECO-boardmeeting and then we walked back to the city center, where I jumped on a train and had dinner with Marie. Yesterday after school, I went to the exam of my Hygiene Passport, and after waiting with the other 20 people for 40 minutes, the teacher […]
And it’s all so strange when you think about it
Since last time. I’ve been to a really interesting lecture about gender studies that had no point. I also attended a workshop about HBTQI-youth, being the only HBTQI-youth in the room. And then I had my very first job interview for a possible summer job at Porvoo city, doing some office work. So now we’re […]
You’ve got nothing to lose
Here you have some sunny Porvoo-pictures! The last 5 are from today. I had Wednesday off from school so I’m attending the Days for Finn-Swedish Youth Work, here in my hometown. I represent FSS, but I since we’re in Porvoo there was a lot of talk about the Youth Council as well. And […]
So love what you do
And yes I do! I’m home when my famil y’s asleep, and I leave before they wake up. It’s been amazingly springy and sunny here the last few days and I’m just constantly in a good mood. Except for when my computer’s in school and at home have problems, I’ve got no patience at all haha. […]
Seems like I’ve been running in the wrong direction
Oh how wonderful and positive everything feels when the sun is shining! It’s spring in Finland, and I’m wearing Vans and my spring-jacket! Last weekend I was the host at a regional music event (competition that you can’t call competition since it’s an opportunity for youth to stand on stage and get positive feedback) in […]
