Back in Finland

I grew up here


Me and brother





A piece of finnish summer and a small piece of finnish gas station

After almost a week on the road I am back in Finland.
My sunburn I got at stryno is already gone.
I can't really explain how it feels to be back. The big news since I left:
we got a new pizzeria, one of my friends broke up with her boyfriend and nordea changed location to the other side of the street. So actually not that much. It's like always have been.
India feels far away from the slow countryside rhytm of this place. But I'm preparing with reading. I've decided I should read a lot about India before we leave. More for the pleasure of daydreaming away than for the facts, but anyway.

Selvtak Simone for the time we spent together on Stryno. Det var virkeligt dejligt at ses.
It feels like we're going to be a good team.

Vi ses!

Det var altså det...
Efter en rigtig hyggelig dag med meget solskin (og heldigvis ikke så meget arbejde), en spændende fodboldkamp (Nina er vores ny fodboldekspert) og en masse af nye ideer og drømmer skulle vi sige farvel. Men hvordan siger man farvel, når man ved, at det tager 6 måneder til man ses igen?
Jeg vil bare sige tak til dig, Nina, tak for din dejlig besøg! Indien føles lidt tætter på nu.
Ha' en rigtig god tur hjem og jeg glæder mig til vores rejse!!

Greetings from Strynø

We are celebrating 6 months until we make our first steps in India today. To make the day even more special this is the last time we'll see each other before november in Vienna. Tomorrow when we'll say goodbye Nina will go back to Copenhagen and then continue her journey to Finland. Simone is going to stay on Strynø until september when her voluntary service ends.
All this still feels a bit unreal and far away, but at the same time very exciting.

We just realized that it's the first time we spend time together without anyone else around. After getting to know each other a bit deeper we got kind of scared... But we agree that we both seem quite ok and trustworthy enough to make a trip like that together. When we know something more about it we'll let you know!

Wild is the wind
Love me love me love me
Say you do
Let me fly away
with you
For my love is like
the wind
And wild is the wind

Give me more
than one caress
Satisfy this
hungriness
Let the wind
blow through your heart
For wild is the wind

You touch me...
I hear the sound
of mandolins
You kiss me...
With your kiss
my life begins
You're spring to me
All things
to me

Don't you know you're
life itself
Like a leaf clings
to a tree
Oh my darling,
cling to me
For we're creatures
of the wind
And wild is the wind
So wild is the wind

Here we go.

So this is it.
Welcome. Willkommen. Väälkomi ,good folks.
This is our blog about our journey to India.
It feels odd to write "here you can follow us before, after and during the journey" because it feels like tv-commercial, but actually that's just what you are able to do here. Hope you'll enjoy as much as we'll do.

Cheers to us. Cheers to you lovley readers.
Happy Birthday to you dear blog.
