Suomi Kutsuu - Finland Calling!

5 years. That’s how long I have been living with one foot in Spain and the other one somewhere else (England, Russia, Finland…), but now this era has – probably – come to an end. On Monday I’m starting a new job en la isla, on the island. (However, I’m not going alone, which makes this is a whole lot more exciting). It’s not a goodbye to Spain, because nothing in life is definite, and we will be back (in one way or another), but it’s a kind of return to my roots.

The decision wasn’t easy, but fortunately I’m blessed with a bunch of clever friends who made me aware of different perspectives.

I haven’t packed yet, uni work is still number one on my list of priorities, until Thursday anyway – so this might well turn out to be the most stressful week of my life.

The blog will continue as it always has – if you have any wishes regarding the contents, please let me know. (I/we are also thinking about starting an “expat-blog” on Finland, would that be interesting?)

Yay, I'm glad you made a decision. I think it'll be interesting to live in a new place. (Though you are from Finland, right? So it's not completely new.)

Keep us updated! I want loads of photos. :) And don't forget your Spanish. I've started learning a bit and I'll need people to practice with.

Oh, and international moves are such a pain, at least in my experience, so I hope that goes more smoothly for you than it usually goes for me. :)

Wow..sounds like an exciting move for you! :) What kind of job will you be doing in Finland? And yes, do start an expat blog on Finland! I would like to be able to visit someday! :)
