Yesterday we had my host family's friends with their kids over for a lunch.
Well to be more specific there was two Finns, one Greek, one Syrian and one Norwegian, and of course one Finn-Greek child and two Norwegian-Syrian children.
During our lunch they started discussing about where to live for the sake of their children.
My host mom said that for their child the best thing is after elementary in Crete is to move in Finland and he will go to junior high school in there for the more stable school environment. For this my host moms friend said that they have discussed about this with her husband and even tough the school system is better in Norway than in Crete they think that their children can have a good education here.
I don't have kids yet nor i have a man beside me to fulfill my purpose as a woman (nor i know will that ever even happen), but I started thinking about the decision of where to live.
When I was in high school I wanted to go in Ireland as an exchange student, because I felt that I could find something in there, but it costed "strawberries" so I gave up that dream. When high school ended I went in Ireland for 9 days alone with my backpack.
Omg this is me at the Cliffs of Moher in August 2012...
That trip gave me a lot.
A lot of confidence.
A lot of experiences.
A lot of memories.
And so much more perspective.
Also I learned a great things about myself.
I just love Ireland and I would love to live in there one day!
In 2008 I had my confirmation camp which was Finnish-German and from there we went to Germany for a weekend (sorry no pics from there on my computer) and I liked there. Somehow I would like to live in Germany and study thebloody language...OK, maybe about the fact that Germany is like heaven for horseback riders like myself has something to do with it.
So that is my next crazy plan.
Right after I get me degree from Finland in 2-3 years.
Yes I do have a degree for "animal attendant", but now i want to work in a clinic/vets assistant and I have to go to a school for me to get a degree on that.
It's eater I travel 400 km with a bus/train couple times a week from Seinäjoki(where i would work) to Helsinki(where i would study) or i could move to Helsinki for couple of years where the prices of the rental apartments are super high.
Yep, gonna die!
Last, but not least I would like to live in England.
Why?
Why not?
Who doesn't even once in their lives want to live i England.
The country and the language plus the culture are so romantic...At least in my head.
I know reality will hit me in my face when I go the, but I know that I can always return home in Finland!
All this (living in different countries) I want to do simultaneously. Which obviously is impossible!
So I kind of realized that I can still move to different places and make my home there even when I'm much older than now and given that I have kids and a husband.
I think what I'm trying to say with this long text is that I just need to chill and see where my life takes me.
Just chilling, Salla
