VANTAA

Today I arrived to Vantaa. Traveling in train isn't my favorite thing, because it's always hot and noisy. We met with Tony, one of my traveling companions. We were in the same train from Joensuu. I had to finally decide how we go to Lorca from Alicante. I still don't know how we survive, but there's hope. At least I survived from first part of traveling.

This is my room in hostel. I don't have own bathroom, but I'll manage without that. I just realized that I really don't have much food, so I might have to walk to the store. I don't know where that is. Google Maps isn't really helpful with that.

But that's enough complaining! I'm actually super exited, even if I forgot my computer mouse at home. I hope that's all I forgot. Even if I'm tired from traveling here, I know that everything is going to fine and I'm going to have lots of fun.

MOMENT BEFORE TRIP

So this is it. Almost everything is packed and tomorrow I will go to Vantaa by train. As you can see, my bag is full, I might need to take something off from there. I'm never a light traveler, I need to improve myself in that. And I can't even take my camera with me, so I have to take photos with phone. And ukulele has to stay at home too. And normally I have at least five books with me when I travel, now I can take only one. And I've never been away from home for month. My longest time abroad is maybe two weeks, I really don't remember. I'm really going to miss my friends and family, but hey, this is opportunity to make new friends!

At Wednesday me and my companions will fly through Stockholm to Alicante. I glad that our flight isn't super early in the morning, though we need to be at Helsinki-Vantaa airport at 8 am.

Right now I feel so excited but also nervous. What if something goes wrong? What if my bag is too heavy and I need to pay extra for that? What if I oversleep and miss the flight? I need to stop thinking like that.

I really think that this voluntary job is going to be awesome experience. This isn't going to be easy, but if I don't do anything, I won't gain anything. So wish me luck, this girl is going to an adventure!
