Uhhh, i was planning to write about some health issues, that i faced about a month before my scheduled departure, but it got so god damn borging, so i'll save you from the stupid whining and fast forward... Okay, and here we go: last day at work. There's a small storm of emotions inside of me and it's hard to keep my head together. Other side of me is scared of letting go of the routines of working week, but other side has been gliding somewhere far far away for a good while already. Now it's time to prepare myself, for [View Full Entry]

Hi folks, it's been some time now without an update, this is mainly because of two reasons. One: As i've told you, i'm currently homeless and i haven't had chance to update this blog from my current headquarters and two: i've been working on another project, a commercial one, to fund my travels. And my work has led me to a rather pleasant resolution, from september on i'll be paid travel writer. But now, on with this one... Uhhh, i wanted to start this blog to write about my thoughts of being homeless in Helsinki. In fact i thought it would've [View Full Entry]

While travelling, a plan for me is merely a sort of a sketch in which i rarely stick to, rather than a dogma. But boy, oh boy, do i love to spend my days (and nights) planning my trips? In my darkest moments it keeps me sane by keeping the dream alive. It's that little guy on my shoulder telling me "don't waste your money in watering holes... or else you'll get stuck in this rat race". It's a reason to wake up in the morning. Every time i find it difficult to rationalize to myself, why i'm going for eight [View Full Entry]

...is from Idea to Action. In the middle of hectic life of western society, where your value as a human being is determined by how much money you blow, it's not necessarily the easiest thing to break away from all the expectations the system has set up on you, nevertheless this kind of lifestyle of a hedonistic nomad is only achievable for a small minority of us rich westerners, but there's so many things under the surface than just saving money, packing your bag and saying goodbyes to your beloved ones. It's a step towards the unknown - in fact it's [View Full Entry]

So... Now after a short and confused introduction i'll tell you a bit more about that small guy, whose grandmother used to call him stargazer (or painter of the skyline, like we'd say in finnish). After my troubled relationship came to its end some years ago, i felt free. Free to do all those things i always wanted to, i'm still young and there's plenty to see and to do, if i just put effort to it. So i started to think "what do I really want"? So I felt like there's something missing, something like travelling, which i'd put aside [View Full Entry]

Kallio, Helsinki 23rd of May. I just kissed a girl goodbye and hopped off the train at Pasila, called my friend to join me for a spliff at the rocks nearby his place of work. We had a discussion concerning things that make men happy, such as travelling, girls, food and good times in general. As i afterwards strolled down the Aleksis Kiven katu, i was amazed by the beautiful colours the sunset casted upon this former working class district of Helsinki. Last rays of the setting sun shone on the white chimneys and tin roofs. Suddenly I felt a strange [View Full Entry]
