Goodmorning, everyone!

What a beautiful day it is! This morning I arrived into Turku's train station with the strangest, but also best feeling of "I'm home!" You know how after a long period of travels and you pull back into your home city either via train, plain, car, etc. and then you have this feeling of completely content & happiness spread all across you because in your gut you know that this is home... and after all, home is where the heart is. Well, that's the feeling I got this morning. It saddens me to also know that in just a few months time I will have to be leaving this new home to return back to the states... but until that times comes, I'm going to enjoy every ounce of Finland that I have available now.

As I mentioned briefly in my previous post, I have been away from Turku -- and the internet/blogging world -- for about 1 1/2 weeks now due to travels up North. This morning, I just returned from a holiday spent in Lapland with my host family and relatives. The days prior to that I was visiting some dear friends of mine in Seinäjoki, a city located North of Turku by about a 3 hour train ride. Although I had a wonderful time in all the excitement of travels it's nice to be back home, and I'm happy to say that I'll be able to now focus on major catch up with photo editing & blogging! Since arriving back home this morning, I stepped outside the train station to a beautiful somewhat spring day -- and despite the still cold temperatures, the sun was shining & it felt relatively warm! I'm excited to see how the weather unravels here in Northern Europe within the next month or so... because I know I can speak for many when saying I'm very much looking forward to the warm days (or at least warmer) that lie ahead. Although I've yet to still unpack my bags and shower/get ready for the day I've still been able to enjoy my morning with a lot of relaxation, and also a bit of productivity. I started by having a hardy breakfast & drinking 2 cups of coffee, then proceeding to go through & catch up on all of my emails and messages. Going through fb updates, and downloading photo's, and even getting around to painting my nails a bright spring-happy pink! Now, I'll be getting around to finally going through all these photo's of mine as well as prepping some blog-posts to publish in the near-future. Alongside, I'll also be unpacking my bags and getting ready for the day, as I also have plans to make my way towards the city later on and perhaps meet a friend for coffee!

I'll be in touch soon, don't worry. 
Until then, have a wonderful day everyone!
All my love,
Xx
