I've been too excited last weekend that I completely forgot to post on Saturday Fling!

I'm writing now just before I'm heading off to Malaga! You have no idea how much I've dreamt about going to Andalusia! It's been on my bucket list forever. It all started from a documentary about Alhambra I saw during my teens. The architecture and the gorgeous details really blew me away!

I haven't planned much except for the Granada trip to see Alhambra. Fuengirola is also on the list, but I'm quite spontaneous. Let's see what I'll find! Follow my journey on Instagram, I'll be posting everyday in my story and later also on my feed!

It's hard to imagine warmth and sun when you're in cold Finland. Here's me sipping some hot chocolate in Paahtimo, Porvoo. This hot chocolate was really tasty!

Before I log out, here's something to get you guys into my vacation mood! I'm going to absorb this music like a sponge!

I wish you a lovely week!

2018 Highlights

2019-01-02 20:23 Recaps

Another year gives new possibilites , but also new challenges. Those who are really close to me know what I've gone through the past years. It has been a roller coaster, compared to 2017 it was way better in 2018. There are just some things that you wouldn't expect anyone to go through, especially in our modern society. I don't think I'm ready to open up yet, but maybe one day I will inspire you to do what feels right to you!

2018 gave me more good things and I'm excited to share with you the higlights of this year!

January

I started my year in Portugal, among warmhearted people in the mountains of Aldeia Das Des. The emotions during this trip were mixed. I had a tough year behind me, but the beauty in this country made me feel much better and I felt like I returned to Finland as a new person after the roadtrip.

This month was also a new page in my career, an exciting journey as a PhD candidate in Chemical Engineering. A new challenge I was eager to accept. I knew it wasn't going to be easy, but being among the pioneers in this field is what I dream of!

February

Ferbruary wasn't filled with so many posts, but my time went having fun with photography. Here's one with the theme "Snow White".

During this month I also organised a lottery where the winner received a free concert for Valentine's Day. The winner suprirsed her husband at restaurant Teini in a small cabinet with rose leaves and my acoustic playing. It made me so happy to be a part of such a surprise!

March

The winter had definitely been here. It was the first time ever I skated on Aura river!

Oh and another funny thing happened... An old woman almost attacked me! Granny attack!

April

Music is a big part of my blog with all kinds of music related posts like interviews with different artists or featuring of artists who want to be seen in here! It's been so cool to get messages from artists who want to be featured! You can check those out in here!

Alba was in YleX Noste and it was extremely fun interviewing her! Read Alba's interview here!

May

Traveling is certainly on top of my list whenever I have the chance to do so. In May I went to visit my cousin in London while exploring other parts of the city that I haven't crossed by. One of those places was Notting Hill. Made me think about that movie with Hugh Grant and Julie Roberts. I'm not really a fan of Hugh Grant, but he's good in this movie.

Funnily, I ended up in a reggae jam evening in Notting Hill. While testing my photography skills, I also got to meet nice locals!

June

This month was busy busy and fun fun!

Collaborations
Stockholm Marathon
And finally being hit by the Midsummer blues, haha not really but it sounded so good ;) Actually, here you can listen to one of my covers I share here. Other covers acan be found on Instagram, Facebook and in the music section!

July

Traveling around in Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic and Austria. During the trip I got to collaborate with a tattoo shop in Budapest! The tattoo wasn't for me though. I would only look goofy with such a thing haha!

During this trip I got to know locals on a completely different level thanks to couchsurfing. I actually prefer couchsurfing from hotels, because it's entirely different meeting a local and sharing something of your own. We got a bit lost on the way, thankfully when we arrived to Kosice in Slovakia our host was so nice to help us with looking for transportation. Imagine that the websites were only in Slovakian!

August

Some love it, some hate it. I'm somewhere in between. Yeah, it's the hot weather. I'm all for it, but this summer was too much for me. Working in the lab without air conditioning was torture. In August I still enjoyed it though!

Even if this summer wasn't easy. I loved the summer times, especially visiting my family's summer place. It's filled with beautiful memories!

This pic is a throwback from a gig by the river in collaboration with Nieto's! I also got this gorgeous flower garland from Kukka Fiori in Stockmann. A small girl said that I looked as beautiful as Santa Lucia... My heart melted!

September

This autumn caught me by surprise. Not by weather, but by the several gig requests, not only during this month, but all the way to the end of this year! Weddings, graduation parties, baptism... yeah you name it!

October

During this time I've been mostly working, but I did find a new vinyl for my collection! I love vinyls and I will definitely have a post about my precious vinyls <3

November

In November it has been quiet, but one post that is among the most interesting interviews I've done so far! It was my first interview with a band and I was so happy to hear that they really enjoyed it! They even said it was the best interview they've experienced so far. Gosh that makes me so happy ^^

Check out Coleman Galleria here!

December

Ending the year with a meeting with Swedish speaking Finnish bloggers in Turku doesn't sound so bad, huh? It was indeed very nice to meet other influencers (haha some hate that term, but I think it's a good one :D )

There has been a thought that is tickling my mind for quite some time. What do you guys think of the idea of me starting a podcast? I'd love to know! <3

I don't have any special new year's resolutions. Just gonna be my old lazy self. Well not really. If I'd have to come up with something I hope to submit my first article very soon! And another thing is to publish my first single. That is my DREAM ^^

I hope you all have had a wonderful new year! Do comment below of what kind of posts you'd like to read! :)

Peace out!

Covers in The Making

2018-12-29 11:57 This week's music list

Cou cou lovelies!

These days between Christmas and New Year's are always confusing. Even though I've been working, I still get lost in what day it is. Maybe it's a good thing to not be in control at all times. I think the main reason is that chocolate twists my head in many ways, way too delicious!

I have released a new cover on Facebook and Instagram. It's one of your song requests that you requested through Instagram a while ago! Now I thought that I would list a few songs that I'm working on at the moment :)

---------------------------

Mellandagarna kan vara lite förvirrande. Även om jag har jobbat alla dessa dagar så har jag ändå ingen koll på dagarna. Kanske det är helt bra ibland att inte ha full kontroll över allting. Jag tror att den största orsaken är choklad som har oklanderligen fått mina tankar att gå ur styr, det är alltför gott!

Jag har släppt ut en ny cover både på Facebook och Instagram! För en tid sedan kom det flera låtförfrågningar på Instagram och här finns nu en av era önskelåtar! Nu tänkte jag lista upp några låtar som jag har under arbete :)

Shape of My Heart

I have a special version in my mind. It will be recorded in a special place. Stay tuned for an original cover with piano and vocals :)

---------------------------

Jag har en speciell version i tankarna i ett mycket fint ställe. Var klara för en originell cover piano och sång :)

Kizomba Songs

For those who don't know what kizomba is, it's a music style and dance originated from Angola in Africa. There are many types of kizomba where the music and dance has been influenced by different parts of the world. The rhythm is very characteristic, steady beat, like deep heart beats. When you dance kizomba it feels like you are floating. It's a beautiful dance! There'll be more about it in my Instagram :) and here of course!

My friends have requested these songs, let's see how they sound acoustic!

---------------------------

För de som inte känner till kizomba från förut. Det är en musikstil och dans som kommer från Afrikas Angola. Det finns många olika typer av kizomba beroende på vilket infltande dansen har fått. Rytmen är väldigt karaktäristisk, stadiga slag som påminner om djupa hjärtslag. När man dansar kizomba känns det som om man flyter omkring. Det är en ljuvlig dans! Det kommer att finnas mer på min Instagram :) och här förstås!

Mina vänner har önskat att jag ska spela dessa låtar, får se hur de låter akustiskt!

And Many More...

The list is very long, but there's always space for some more ;) Do you have a song request you'd like e to play? Comment the song in the comment section below!

---------------------------

LIstan är lång, men det finns alltid utrymme för fler låtar ;)

Har du en önskelåt som du skulle vilja att jag skall spela? Kommentera nedan!
