travel, travel, travel

And I bought some postcards. Tell me if you want one. :)

It was fun! I went on the top of the tower of the Oympic Stadium. It’s the highest leaning tower in the world. :)

Then we went on Mont-Royal, and on the Notre-Dame and St-Hélène islands. On the Ste-Hélène island, there’s the Gilles-Villeneuve circuit, which is used for Formula 1. And I realized that I could drive on the track! So I made a lap with my Mazda6 and I was seriously giggling non-stop!!! :D

The next day, we went to walk in the city center and then, on the way home, we stopped at a very cool place where there are monster trucks and dinosaurs. We took a lot of pictures… lol!

For now I’m really tired and I feel like I can’t write. Especially in English. :P So I’m keeping it simple but I might tell a bit more later.

^{PS: One good reason to miss Emilia: I did bring my camera, but I forgot it in the car all the time, except at the Olympic Stadium and at the Madrid hotel. I never think about taking pictures…}

I’ll be spending a couple of days there with Isabelle and Sarah. I should be back either Monday night or Tuesday morning.

Does anyone need anything from there?

Postcards?

And I don’t even think I really want to rest. :)

Tomorrow I’m heading to Tadoussac with two friends, and we’re gonna go see the whales.

In two weeks, me and the same friends will have a two days trip to Montreal. One of my friends has never seen the Olympic Stadium!!!

And I am more and more tempted by California, next Spring.

And I still have plans for New Zealand. The problem is: I checked the plane tickets, and it’s SO expensive!!!!!

Other plans for the next few years: Scotland, Ireland, France, the Netherlands… and I have to go back to Finland at some point, because Finland is the most amazing country ever, with the kindest people ever. I miss my little sister and Tampere too. It really does feel like my second home now.

went to San Diego in June… I always get depressed when I have to come back home. It’s not that I’m unhappy with life. It’s just that I never feel at home like I do when I’m traveling, exploring, and especially when I’m at the Ocean.

Okay so here’s the thing. I’ve been to Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Spain, and Paris. The issue is that I still want to go to Italy and Mexico. I also want to hit Hawaii and some tropical island like Bahamas or something. This will probably always be a goal…who knows!

i am just looking forward to seeing the world

I want to go absolutely everywhere in the world!

I’m from Ireland and I’m currently studying in Stirling in Scotland

I’ve been to Portugal, The Carary Islands, Greece, England, Wales, Scotland obviously…more to come!!

Can’t do much traveling at all right now with work and a new apartment to pay for. Its kind of depressing to not be able to travel much but I’m having a blast moving into my apartment!! :)

I have always had a desire to be a constant traveller for the rest of my life…just work in order to afford the next place on the map. I know it’s impossible, but to live in some beautiful place and then when life starts to get too confined, pack up and move on. It’s an idea, but I couldn’t sacrifice my happiness from being around my family and the safe routine of life.
