This is nothing like it was in my room...

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 been a lot more difficult. Fuck it, i've really enjoyed past four months now. Time has gone by so quickly. It all began, when i got the news, that we'd have to move on from our flat, as soon as possible. It was about the same time when i picked my mushroom crop. Good times, i'm tellin' ya. Mulatu Astatke played i magical show at Kulttuuritalo, everybody was in a specially good mood for winter was officially over - vernal equinox has passed by and we all were very aware, that summer was just around the corner. I reached some milestones with my savings, so i allowed myself finally just to lean back and let the good times roll...

I can't actually even tell why was this spring somehow special, but the flow amongst the people i was hanging out with was amazing. Kinda like field trip, and nobody wants to go home. Well, we all were in it just for the good times, sucking out all we could of the perfect atmosphere. Kinda like when you meet some great folks while you're travelling. I think it was mostly because of this one girl, who dropped by for few months in between hibernating in Goa and going to Himalayas for the summer.

As i mentioned before, i really thought that these four months would've been a lot harder, but no, i guess it's been the best spring/summer in Finland ever! But i wouldn't have done it without a little help from my friends. A big thank you for all you who deserve it. I really feel, that this time i'll leave a lot more here than the last time. Perhaps not physical items, but mentally. I've learned to love Finland, and especially Helsinki. Now i know what's it like to feel like home. I enjoy my days here more and more all the time. But it's also because i'm so eager to pack my bag and return to the good life of a vagabond. I feel really good about myself. To be honest, i am a bit afraid, that things will change. Last weekend i was so happy, that if god would've reached down from heaven, and told me that THIS is what's LIFE's like, i would've made a deal. Hell Yeah! If this is the life people talk so much about, i love every single second of it.

So this summer's slowly turning to autumn, and my numbered days at work are reaching it's end. Six weeks to go - and then i'm free to go. So i guess it's time to check i have everything i need and apply for the visas. Some good things still to come. Lucky me.
