Here we are again. Been travelin back and forth now for a while, at least it feels like that. I havent really counted the miles or kilometres Ive been traveling this past month, but its a lot I can assure you. From Thailand to vancouver, from vancouver to vegas and los angeles. From los angeles to peru and in peru i did some ridiculous travelling with the bus. 16 hours and 21 hours, like it was nothing. And it didnt stop there, from peru back to los angeles and from La back to thailand again. Oh man, if you could get some reward for long time traveling I would be the one collecting it.

But Ive came to realize something when i stepped out the airplane in phuket and that is that I wont be traveling now for a LOOONG time, except in thailand of course but that doesnt count. Two weeks alone in thailand may sound for some people booring and a waste of time. But let me tell you something, I havent had any alone time in almost 3 months now so it feels more than good just to relax and to not have anything scheduled except eating and sleeping.

During my 29 hour flight from La to Tokyo to Singapore to Phuket I slept maybe 5 or 6 hours. So the first day at the hotel I fell a sleep 13.00pm and woke up 00.00, and after that I couldnt do anything more then fall a sleep again, so I slept about 17 hours the first day in phuket, and the best part no jetlag what so ever. Its my fourth day here now and the for the first time in 3 months I dont feel like a tourist. let me explain hehe.. I wake up late every day, I dont go to the beach everyday, Im not looking for any adventures like sightseeing or any other tourist things available in the area, im just doing exactly what I want when I want and I love it. Basically it feels like being home. Just that Im living at the beach in a hotel and I dont have to make my own food hehe. Ive thought about this for a while now, but it gets more clear for me everyday. "I might not be rich, but some good choises in life I certainly did" otherwise I couldnt tell you this.

In three months Ive seen some incredible places that I never thought in my life I would get the chance to explore. For example Machu Picchu in peru, Ive read about in school but thats it. Seeing it with my own eyes made me get a whole new perspective of what it really was and is still after a 1000 years.
I do recemmend it too for those who are interested in history and well for others too. Ive seen 3 things in my life that really felt unreal seeing it. The first thing I saw was Burj khalifa in dubai, the second thing was the sand  dunes in Ica, Peru and the third thing is Machu picchu. Such amazing places..

Back to present time again. I just booked my second hotel here and I still have 9 nights before I head up to chiang mai preparing for songkran. This is the event Ive been waiting for since I left home in january. My first real "waterwar" and im so exited and looking forward to see what its all about. Just have this hard decision of what kind of gun im going to buy hehe.. a big ass gun or an elephant to ride on and spray water on everyone haha. I will let you know and hopefully upload some pictures..


until next time.. ciao ;)

sometimes you have to look back and see what made you go this far

Buenas noches mi amigos y amigas

hello again, from peru this time. Did vancouver, las vegas and los angeles allready and I thought to myself that its about time for me to tell you about all the things we've done this far. 

Let's start with vancouver. vancouver is a really beautiful city, so sad though that I went there this time of the year. Of course always when you travel to a place never seen by yourself you give it a first impression, and I must admit that my first impression wasn't the best, but it got better and better the longer I stayed there. Well of course, I left thailand and my girlfriend so I was a little bit sad when I started my trip to canada so that might have been one reason why the first impression wasn't the best. For me the first impression is very important not only when I travel but also when I meet new people. My goal from the very beginning when I stepped on the plane in finland until i go home was to improve my ability in meeting people and getting new friends and also and maybe the first priority to grow as a person and see life differently. But back to vancouver again. I'm not going to lie about this but it actually took me several days to really feel that I made a good choice choosing freezing cold canada instead of something warmer near thailand or even hawaii that I actually had in mind before I chose canada. The purpose of this trip was to meet up with this friend that Im going to travel with more or less until july. It's funny though because you know like in stores they have these sales every now and then, and I can almost compare this trip to that. I bet you've heard about buy 1, get one for free sales offer. ;) Well let me explain hehe. I told you about this friend, right? so he's the number 1 and the get one for free is another friend that also lives in vancouver and Im so pleased that I got to meet them both this far away from home. 

During my stay in vancouver I had time to go to a nhl game between the canucks and minnesota, visit squamish, rent a bike and bicycle around stanley park and some shopping of course. After my ten days in vancouver it was time to say goodbye to nicke and go with träisk and his girlfriend to las vegas which I never thought I would visit in my life :) 

Las vegas, according to what I've seen in the movies Vegas was exactly like that. A strip with everything you can imagine, luxury hotels, limousines everywhere, every luxury shop you can think ofand let's not forget the casinos haha. It felt unreal, so beautiful and so much to see in such a small place, I really loved vegas. It's expensive but hey it's vegas ;) Spent only two days there, in the hilton elara hotell which is maybe the best hotell I stayed in so far in my life. And I'm so happy even though I just got to sit in the lamborghini gallardo, but it really made my day. After two days in vegas we rented a car and drove to los angeles true the desert of nevada. Not much there to see on the road but it was truly a experience to put in your lifes resume. Well yeah I almost forgot. My first impression of vegas btw was "yeah I could live here" hehe.

Im sorry but its time to go to sleep now so I will continue this post about los angeles in a couple of days. Hope to see you soon again :)
