11. December Today was the day me, CC and Hayzybobzykins went for the “Swimming with Dolphins”-excursion at the island-complex Bay of Islands, leaving from Russell. Max. 35 people on the boat, three hours. There was a 98% chance of us seeing dolphins, said Billy and Tommy on the boat, but we definitely don’t get […]

First day in NZ: Off to Russell!
10/12/2013 klo 22.27. I am officially very good at conquering jet lags. After flying to New Zealand, I went to bed at half nine/tennish and woke up at half eight in the morning. Amazing sleep.

Dubai 2 Auckland via Oz
9/12/2013 klo 7.17am(9.17pm previous evening English time? Maybe? So confused), BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA. Tbf, all airports look pretty similar. I honestly can’t believe it. 20mins-ish till boarding my final flight. Just over three hours to NZ.

London 2 Dubai
8/12/2013, 7.47am. A bit disconcerting since all my gadgets are still on British time saying it’s 3.47am. But it is sunny, hot (apparently 24 degrees), and I am looking over the skyscrapers of Dubai OH YES I AM. Sat in an apparently Irish café eating a mahoosive fruit salad and cappucino which came to God […]

Off to the other side of the world…
Dear family, friends and fans, For about ten years there has been a country I’ve been obsessed about. Originally the main reason was because it was so far away, but then it evolved into a more general interest in the amazing scenery, the exciting possible adventures and the cool accent. But it was always […]
Day 23&24: Copenhagen
Hello fans, Apologies for late entry. As most of you know, we came back to Finland on the 12th, and since then I’ve just been lazing about, happy to be at home. So, our last whole day we spent in Copenhagen. Lovely town and all, but I think it was a bit of a downhill […]
