Aussie school

Wow, where should I even start? Aussie school is amazing. I am studying in a huge high school in year 11 {year 12 in New Zealand}. I honestly can't name only one favourite thing in this school. The school policies are very different to European ones. I find it easier to think everything...

Australia Day 2015

There is no doubt what day it is when the barbecue is getting hot and the endless stream of neighbours flows though the house to the backyard: it is Australia Day! We celebrated this particular day in a very Oz way, or so I've heard. We also had a 'celebrity' paying a visit: a Federal Politician,...

One rainy evening: rambling in Finnish

It was a very rainy arvo and I suddenly remembered my camera while getting bored. So I picked some pillows and magazined and books and built this very unbalanced stack of random stuff and gently put my camera on top of it. Then I just hit record and sat on the floor quiet for a while and then opened...

Cleveland Point sunset

It was a clear afternoon after couple weeks of overcast days. My host mum and I jumped into the car and quickly drove to the Cleveland Point just in time to catch a beautiful Australian sunset. Myself, I get much more excited about a clear starry sky but there was something magical about...

Brisbane & QAGOMA

Last week my host mom took me to 'down town' Brisbane which I fell in love with at the first sight. As I've seen skylines only a couple of times before I was so astonished by the simple beauty of the buildings that I was too scared to move the camera lens between my eyes and this sight. First...

longdistance friendships

image source > One of the questions I get asked as an exchange student the most is if I miss my friends and family in my home country. In the beginning of my programme the answer was an instant and rather strong no. Throughout the months the answer has changed its form every once in a...

Byron Bay

Last Friday, on our way to the lovely town of Yamba with my host family we stopped at the Byron bay for some breathtaking views. The day was hot - as it tends to be every day in Aussie - so the fresh sea breeze was more than welcome as we climbed up the hill the white lighthouse as our destination. The...

#vaihtarikilot

image source > I was just casually listening to music, singing over it and trying on different outfits for a party I had just gotten invited to. I have this dress I got for my confirmation party when I was 15 (two and half years ago). I was trying it on when I realised the zip didn't work. The...

the second year

Another year. I must be repeating myself once again when I'm saying how time flies. I know it flies wether I cared about it or not so instead I have started to concentrate on what I have experienced, learned and accomplished. For starters I almost missed my blog's second anniversary. Luckily I...

a painkiller doesn't kill you

image source > My year was awesome. It was so much more than I thought. It was also very different to what I thought. I grew as a person a lot. I learnt a lot. I met new people, a lot of new people. And now I am sick. I was sick maybe for couple of days in 2014. As soon as I came to Australia...

2014 recap

This is just a little recap of my previous year. I gathered all the little video clips I'd captured during the year and put them together creating this about a one minute film. I had a great year and I hope you did too. ...
