My whole life I've always thought that I'd love to live out of a suitcase pretty much and travel as much as possible. Well now that I'm pretty much living out of a suitcase its not that fun! I live in Scotland but have to find a place to put my stuff for every summer when I go to Finland as my lease ends. Right now I got a second suitcase from my brother who told me I could fill that and take it to his place. Even that one suitcase is not enough! And I'm taking half of my stuff home anyway. This is not good! He will be pissed when he finds out :D Mission impossible here I come.
This makes me really wish that I knew where I will be settling down someday because I could buy more stuff and maybe get a second pet (I've adopted a bunny!). And the thing is I'm not gonna be a few hour drive away in a few years, I will be in a whole new country most likely. I have tonnes of stuff in Finland and half of my stuff here in Scotland and just wish I had them in one place. Oh well... I kinda like living like this otherwise so I'm not really sure what I want. I have mixed feelings towards this. Maybe I should just start saving money by not shopping anymore to keep the amount of stuff I own under control!

I wish that one day I'll be an au pair!!
Totally out of my comfort zone but I wanna do it! Right now I have an application in aupair-world.net and am getting tonnes of messages. I found a perfect family but think they already have an au pair so that kinda sucked but otherwise I'm still waiting for the perfect family to come by! I wanna go to Spain preferably for just like 2 months. I could be earning some money while enjoying myself and taking care of kids, which will definitely benefit me with my future career. I'm so looking forward to this!
Also, when you leave to go somewhere far from home into a new environment and live with as little technology as possible and just be with yourself and the kids; you learn a lot about yourself! So I think it would be really cool to just be and become more aware of me. I'm so exited and am looking forward to this. Who knows might not find a perfect family or might get my ticket to Spain already in 3 weeks! Fingers crossed!

I wish shopping malls had mini cars or something!
I went to Poland for about 2½ days to go shopping. Lets just say my legs are as good as amputated. Every step I took after the first day was PAIN, lets not even discuss the last days. Why can't they have mini golf carts or something to move around with? The shopping malls there were huge! On our last day we went to the biggest shopping center around and it took us the entire day to go through all the shops on all the floors. To top that we got lost when the shopping center closed at 21.00 and had to walk extra much to find our way out. I'm sure i'm not the only one who thought about this and I've thought about it tons of times since I think i'm a bit of a shopaholic but - Mini cars to huge shopping malls!!!
Even though my feet are dead, lets just say it was so worth it! I did not know it was possible to shop that much! We woke up early and shopped from sunrise to sunset when the shops closed basically. And lets clear this, we are not rich, it is just so damn cheap there! I bought 2pairs of heels, 2summer shoes, like 5 sets of earrings <3, tons of clothes, perfume, nail polish, baby clothes (I'm an aunt now!) and other stuff. ='D To explain how cheap stuff was, I bought heels for about 6€ and the other one pair was about 8€. Usually heels cost like... 40-50€ on the cheap end. So yea... I'm not gonna go shopping for the next few months and that's a promise I HAVE to make to myself, I'm pretty much broke and I have lots of stuff now =) Lets end this with: everyone, go to Poland. Its cheap and a in general a really nice place and yea, I really wish they had those mini cars in those huge malls.

I wish I could travel to all the continents before I die... except Antarctica :)
I love travelling more than anything. My family moved to The Gambia from Finland when I was 5years old meaning that we traveled every summer back and forth with a few detours on the way between the countries. I got so used to traveling that it's very hard for me to stay in one country without traveling for a year. Even after we moved back to Finland a few years ago, it hasn't stopped me traveling every year a few times somewhere.
As for countries I have so far been to, here goes. I've traveled all around Europe; Finland, Sweden, Spain, England, Holland, Belgium, Poland, Ireland, Greece and Estonia at least, and in Africa I've been to The Gambia, Senegal and the Cape Verde Islands. In Asia, I've been to Turkey recently, and as a child I've been to Israel which I don't really remember. I haven't been to America or Australia at all. And yeah, I'd never go to Antarctica even though penguins would be pretty cool to see.
I love beaches, shopping, seeing new places, fountains, lights and big cities. I think it would be really cool to see a few wonders of the world like Petra in Jordan for instance too =). In the future random places I'd wanna go to are; Australia, Jordan, Singapore, Thailand, South Africa, Israel again (maybe), Germany, Dubai, Italy... to name a few... too many countries to think about!!! As for America, I've said I don't wanna go there but honestly... I wouldn't mind seeing New York and Los Angeles and maybe Brazil and perhaps even Mexico. I'm probably moving to Scotland in half a year to study as well so ... Yay =)
