Flying back to Reykjavik in Iceland for a 6 week exchange to study and work on ceramics at the Myndlistaskolinn in Reykjavik felt so wonderful! Seeing the amazing snowy Iceland after grey and rainy Helsinki in Finland was a lovely sight indeed. I cannot but wonder how shades of grey can be so beautiful. The […]

And so our time in Iceland has come to an end. We came home on Tuesday, it’s now Saturday and everything feels a little weird. More about this weirdness after I tell the story of our last days in Iceland and our journey back home. Last week on Friday we met up with Hanna and […]

There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
20.2.2020 | Here comes the sun (and then it doesn’t bother to show up again)
We didn’t end up going to the after party on Saturday. We did go check the place when the party was just starting, but felt too intimidated to stay, because we didn’t know really anybody there and felt way too young to go along. We were also quite tired already so we just walked back […]
15.2.2020 | Water, light, and normal things
It’s been a while since I last wrote here. I admit, I’ve been slacking! But I can come up with some excuses though, read below. New things seem to very quickly become the new normal, and this landscape has as such become “just the place where we currently live”. Not any longer do I look […]
My third week in Iceland
My third week was a bit quieter than the ones before. On Monday I went for a coffee and a cupcake with a very cool and sweet lady from North Carolina, who lives in Iceland. On Friday when I wasn’t having the greatest day she took me to Costco. I had an ice cream and […]
My second week in Iceland
On Monday evening after work I visited the bible study which I was invited for on the previous day… The evening was great thanks to the ladies whom were very sweet, fun and also welcoming. Interestingly we all happened to have a different nationality. On Tuesday I visited a gym in Reykjavik called First Class. […]
4.2.2020 | The food issue
It has still been snowing a lot and the days have been colder. This weather seems to bring about itself a kind of a want to just hibernate inside under a blanket with a cup of tea. That’s probably why we spent the last Saturday having an anime marathon. Since we’ve moved to our new […]
My first week in Iceland
Greetings from Iceland! I arrived in Iceland on the 19th of January 2020. At the airport in Finland I had a quite a loud group of youngsters sitting behind me speaking in a weird language (figured it was Icelandic) and making funny sounds – I knew I was going to have an interesting trip. […]
29.1.2020 | Snowed in and moving out
It’s been snowing for days, alternating between snow, ice, and straight up water. The mountains are completely white and most of the time only the lower half of them are visible, as there is an almost constant blanket of clouds hovering above us. The weekend was pretty chill, again, and we only really went out […]
