Bling bling

This weekend my parents visited in Tallinn and bring us some candies from the ship. We got dumple lollipops, Fazer mint chocolate, Jenkki gum, Marianna bolls and lakrits.

Mum told me that their hotel in Tallinn was so bad. Hotel's name was Metropol. My parents wasn't happy for customer service, because seemed like nobody cares or wasn't ready tell time for breakfast or other things. At night voices from the bar flyes to hotel room. That was really bad, because my parents couldn't sleep. They finally falled asleep at 6am. Maybe next time my parents could go Conference and Spa Hotel, which is located next to Sadamarket.

I wanna share some best moment of this summer now. I visited Magnum cafeteria with Marianna. Magnum concept is that you can choose for vanilja icecream darkchocolate, milkchocolate or whitechocolare cover. Then you will choose 3 different sweets to it for example daim, strawberries or nuts. Then you can eat it. Being honest I expect much more! They sell this ice-cream like desing your own Magnum. I tought I can choose how my ice-cream taste, stramberry or chocolate? Then maybe I can put all chocolate types to my ice-cream. Now I share my own Magnum.

My own Magnum

Today I also was shopping with my parents. I found a dress to my sister's little sweet boy's christening. I also finally used presentcard which my friend bought to be when I graduated from Helmi Business College.

This is silvery jewellery I bought. It is pretty! ^^

This is my new dress and picture is actually very bad.

 I got today also information than one of my classmates from Helmi Business College is lost. How terrible, I wish nothing terrible happens to her!

Newborn

I have now couple things I would like to write about. First: My sister got baby two weeks ago. He is boy and he was 4000g and 54cm long. Ofc he is supercute! <3 So I become aunt. Next weekend will be this little boy's christening.



I would like to show pictures of him, but I think my sister won't like that.

Another good news are that I have interview as travel guide in two weeks. As you might know I am super excited and a little bit nervous. I started to practise already and still time to practise more and be better. I wish interview will go very good. Being a travel guide is my dream and I want it so bad! 

Summer in Finland has been soo bad. Raining raining and raining, kind of sad, but actually, I don't care because I am working to end of the August. I am working at Stark and I do enjoy working there.

Lady's personality

In this post I will answer questions about myself, it's a little kind of interview. Let's get started.

Who are you? Tell me about yourself? 

- I am 22-years old girl who is living in Helsinki area. I graduated from Helmi Business College as travel councellor spring 2015.
- Let's start from my childhood. I had move couple times in my life. First when I was 4-years old I moved from Turku to Espoo with my mother. Other family stayed for a whole still in Turku and sold our apartment. Then they moved to Espoo too. We lived there about 3-4 years and then we moved again to Veikkola, where my family still lives. I was on 3rd class when we moved.
- I started my school in Espoo and in the end graduated comprehensive school in Veikkola. After it I went to Vihti High School, but I didn't know what I want to be when I am adult. I liked very much arts, painting, history and other stuffs. There was many nice things in the world. On high school I also first time traveled away from Nordic Countries. My first destination was Canarian Islands, Teneriffa and as you might guess I couldn't stop thinking of travelling, because my family never actually travelled together and trip to Canaria, my aunt paid it as gift from our help to her. After Canaria I stayed to think about travelling.
- Then I graduated from High School and applied to Univercity to read politic, but I didn't get in. I had year off from school and then I was working at kiosk almost one year. During this year I travelled to Turkey with my friend and it was my first trip after Teneriffa and yes without my family. After Turkey I actually had always travel myself and I love it.
- After year off studies I decided to study something and I didn't know what. I liked travelling so I applied to Helmi Business College to study tourism and here I am, just graduated travel councellor. During my studies I also had training in Ireland and practise English there 5 months and I was working at Scancoming which is incoming tour operator. And now I am graduated travel councellor.

Which are your strengths?

- 1:  I like challenging myself: For example I have goal to be better performer and I know I need this skill with my dream to be travel guide. I actually have another example about this too. After high school wanted to study politic, but didn't get in. So I nominated for municipal election and I was then nominated to municipal council in Kirkkonummi. This was new thing to me, I needed money to do it and as you might know this is public job and after this everybody knows you. It was actually kind of scary, but I did it. I wrote magazines and met people and tried my best. After all I got 30 votes. I made a lot work! Then I was young municipal goverment... This is also if I have decide something I will do it!

- 2: Willing to learn: I like to learn to things, expecially about travelling. It doesn't even need to be something big and amazing, but I am inquisitive. I am open for new people and I feel easy to speak people. I am always interested in new places and cultures. I would like to see all the world. About work I always want learn new things in the best possible way and I am taking time to understand and learn more. I believe this willing to learn is going hand by hand with challenging, because those things I am keeping my goals I want to learn more about them. I really want to be better performer and I don't want to be nervous in front of people, because where do I need this feeling? I want to relax in front of audience. :)

3. Open minded and brave: When I applied my training place in Ireland I remember what my sister said, when I told her I got the place. This is how it went: "Wooow Anniina! What a girl, brave girl. You just decide and go without thinking too long or planning too much. You seem to be always ready to go". She told that she need to think maybe a year, but then her sister just decide and go. I am also very open minded for new people I have never seen before and I had travel myself too.

This is me as candidate to municipal council in Kirkkonummi

Which are your weakness?

- Stress and why? With this I don't mean I always stress but this is just another side of it that I want to learn new things. I prefer quickly learning and sometimes I am asking too much myself and from this I am stressing. But if I have stress I dont show it for example clients, and this stress actually come from office work. So many things to do and I want to do them at the same day. I dont like to leave them tomorrow. I think this kind of stress is not kind of bad thing, but sometimes we all stress.

- I don't have time excuse: Sometimes I feel I am too busy and I have a lot to do. Maybe I consider do I clean my cabinet today or do I wrote job application. It is just fact in this time people are very busy. You have to choose what to do today and what you can do tomorrow. But I do most important things first ofc.

- Language skills: I can speak english but I dont know other languages as good than english. I can always be better with languages.

Which kind of future goals you have?

- I wish I could work as travel guide even some point in my life, because I want to develope myself in work and as human. I know there is something in me, I am brave and I want to be better performance I think by this work I could get my goals. Anyway I had always want to live aboard and discover new cultures and places.  If I am lucky I could learn some new languages and get better with my swedish. Right now I feel like I want to work for a while, but maybe later I want to study marketing.

Travel Guide questions:

Why you wanna be a travel guide?

- 1st: I like to perform, but I want to do it everyday. But why I wanna do it everyday is that when I perform I feel like I am flower which just open its petals. Something comes out from me during performing.
- 2nd: I had been in guiding course and I saw that being guide is challenging enough for me. I can learn everyday new things about my work and even new things by myself.
- 3rd: I love people and new cultures and new places. I am ready to learn and study more about them.
- 4th: I believe for my dreams and I have "I can do it" attitude. I know I need it and I have to be positive and smiling everyday. I don't give up easily.

Why could you be a good travel guide?
- 1st: I am brave person and I believe myself. If I had decide something I will do it. Even if I feel it's hard or difficult. I think travel guide need this quality, because sometimes happens things you can't run away. You just have to do it and you have to believe yourself!
2nd: I believe I am good performer and expecially when I know what I am talking about and what I have to do I feel like it's dancing.
3rd: I am always ready to learn more about new cultures and I want study my destination in best possible way. Because when I know my destination it is easier just talk talk talk and I actually like talking and I love to spend time with people. If I could I want to make their holiday best ever.
4th: During my guiding course test I got this feedback: I opened door for my group and waited it and took care everybody was with me. If there was bad place to be and all group couldn't hear me I was ready to change place to calmer one. I also told stories and it made my performer more alive. I also watched watch happened around me for example they filmed one tv-serie and I said now we will be all superstars or something.

What do you expect about working as travel guide?
- I know it is hard work, long days and long weeks. Mostly I anyway wait that I can be with people and see their smiling and enjoying their holiday. I wait I can give everything for this work, learn new skills and meet new people. I think I will feel very much alive.

London, Dublin... world!

Life in Dublin has been good too far...I mean almost. Today I will move new house, because my flatmates are so out of their minds. I really didn't enjoyd life there so I decided to move and make my last month more enjoyable. I had actually already seen the house, because we went to knock the door with my friends on Tuesday. It is a very nice and girls seems to be nice as well.

I haven't write to this blog so long time, but I have to tell you I was in London couple weeks ago visiting at my friends place. I loved London sooo much. It is a big enough for me and I totally want to live there too some day.

Also my mum and auts was here a week ago. They bring me some finnish food yammy yammy! I wanna show you pictures, so enjoy.

Tomorrow I will visit in Galway! Then in two weeks with my friend we will go to Game of Thrones Tour. Yipppeyy!

I had spend time in Dublin now almost 2 months, huh time runs so fast. I can't believe this! But I can tell you for sure that this internship is definitely the best time of my life! I feel like had grow up for so much on this time, because now it's me and the world. I had needed to take care of myself more, because here is no parents to help me and I am so thankful for this opportunity.

I feel so great and I am sure my life will takes me to many places I never expect. I had actually already be one place I never expect to be and I am so thankful for it. How much pleasure this life sometimes give me. Thanks God!

Ireland is the place where I had take steps foward to adult me! You know Dublin is exactly a very small city, where is so easy to go anywhere you want. I had enjoy my life in here. I actually was talking with my workmate that from Dublin, there is going "Game of Thrones Tours". Ahh I need to go there when I am still in Ireland!

I had also get to know nice girls from here. So many nationalities and so loving persons. For example my best friends from here are from India, Africa and German. Ofc finnish friends too, but now I want to talk about foreing people. :) So I am so glad I met them!

Last weeks I had been with my friends out and discover places I never had been. Even by airplane... Wow! Shh! ;)

Bcs pictures tells more than words... here some pics! <3

Bad boy is calling me! ;) Maybe bad, maybe not! ;)

New Life and Landscape

I had live in Dublin now almost one month. It's so cool to be here. I got to know new people here for example my flatmates and one Finnish girl and her friends here. I would like to get know people more and more.

My flatmates, they arrived about two weeks ago. I have 3 French boys here and one Hungarian girl who is sharing room with me. We are spending a lot time together and having fun. Unfortunately we doesn't have very good rules on our house yet. I got really angry about it that people brings their friends without asking to house and having house party or as they say "A little get together party". So even trough noisy and arrogant. We are in Dublin now and each other should respect it that if it bothers somebody to bring friends on middle of the week, then just need to tell friends that it's not okey to come. So anyway just one problem now, which we have to fix. Otherwise my flatmates are all so nice and I don't want this mess to disturb our relation for each other. :)

Last Saturday my Finnish friend had birthday and we went eat dinner to "Ciao Bella Rome" restaurant. We spent time there 2,5 hours! :) We had a great time. I ate "Pasta alla carbonara". It was 20pm when we arrived to restaurant, so very late. My pasta was very big and I couldn't eat it all. It looked like I didn't even touch the pasta. Our waiter tough I didn't like my food. It was not about that, but "Pasta alla carbonara" is just very heavy food. Then we also ate dessert! Ah nam nam nam....chocolate cake with ice-cream, so delicious! <3

Last week I also ate in Oscar restaurant with my Hungarian roommate. It's on Smithfild, which is near to my house. There was so awesome food! It was my first time ever to eat Moroccan food. I ate couscous and some lamb tomato sauce with some spicy! So delicious. 

The Oscar Restaurant, Smithfield

Moroccan food! Yammy!

I had also get to know city itself. I visited first time in Temple Bar area. There is so old-fashionable, I like it! Good to see this site about Dublin too.What I could say about Dublin, this is actually very peaceful place to live. You can't lost here even if you want. Just feels like I am in Helsinki, even through there is so many things I miss in Finland for example rye bread, so many little things which are normal in Finland.

Temple Bar Area.

Here some other pictures from Dublin. :)
