Finland

August 13th

HELLO!

I'ts been a while! I think you might have forgotten about me, I know I haven't forgotten about you. It's been hanging over me everyday to keep on photographing but still editing the pictures from all my travels, something I didn't plan when I booked my trips! It's been one h*ll of a trip and I have so much to tell but I will defintely forget to tell even 30% of it. But let's take it from the top! As you already know, from my "Quick Check Up", as I called it, I went to my family's house on the countryside with one of my sisters and my parents. What I haven't told you is that this house is in Finland on land that was left for my grandmother when her father died after WW2, which by the way is HUGE land since he was a farmer. Except for my family and the wildlife there is not a single sound from a lung borne creature and it is delightful! We just spend every single day enjoying life, eating, playing games and hanging out by the lake. One night we had guests over -my dad's cousin and one of his daugthers - and that's pretty much all that we have socialized. For me as an ambivert, not socializing can sometimes be the best thing in the entire world.

If you follow me on Instagram (@lisakarolinalof) you might already know the extent of my trips' destinations. First of all, I went to Örebro to visit my grandparents and stay the night. We woke up suuuuper early to continue to Stockholm where the ferry took us on an almost 22 hour long ride to Turku.

From there on we continued by car to Kirkkonummi where our house is. We arrived late in the evening, picked the rooms we were about to sleep in and made our beds as well as ourselves, ready for the night and a good night's sleep. I stayed in Finland for 9 days, afterwards my dad drove me from our house to Vantaa (Helsinki airport) and I was off to London. Pictures from that trip in the next post. Have a good day!
