I am convinced that I was born under some really lucky stars on 1983. There has been one thing that has followed me my whole life and that thing is The Sun ( no, not the magazine, but the actual yellow shining thing on the sky, you know, that sun).
The old logo of Naantali
I was born in Naantali, also called the sunny town of Finland. So apparently there is a lot of sun, though it's not that special, the typical cold boring Finnish weather is still there. But we could say it propably has a bit more sun then normally. Well lucky me, everything was in order once I came around, because the same sun seems to be following me wherever I go.
In 2003 I moved to Tohmajärvi, a small village near the boarder with Russia. I must say it is around 700 kilometers from Naantali, so I took quite a leap. I didn't check the sun conditions before my settling in Tohmajärvi, but pretty soon I realized it had an abnormal amount of sun also. Great! The sun was on my side, again. It also had really nice people, very talkative though which felt a bit weird in the beginning, but I got use to it after some time. And some very famous people of Finland have come from Tohmajärvi. Maybe the sun brings also other good things in life, not only the weather conditions.

After Tohmajärvi I went to Zambia. Well, I guess no explanations needed. It was sunny, for sure. And I loved it, for real.
Zambia times
After Zambia I have been around, Italy, Spain, Sri Lanka.. Always enjoying the sun. I think in Finland it's not easy to find such sunny places that I have found. Considering Scandinavia, I read one day that for example in Bergen in Norway it rains approximately every two days out of three, imagine... Once it even rained 80 days straight there!
But lucky me, again, I am now in Noormarkku. And yet I have found another sunny place that this time comes with the peacefulness of easy countryside life.
Noormarkku River.

Noormarkku River.I was born under some lucky sunny stars indeed. More sun will be coming soon, the adventure number one is getting closer :) And I know those lame countdowns sound quite boring, but I am giving it a try..
