  • A short introduction After so many years, I finally started the blog and websites I always planned. I am living on a small farm in Eastern Finland and been renovating this almost 100 year old house by myself. And before you freak out or anything, my actual name is Jaana, but I early realized that

  • Achieving Happiness: Comparing Life Paths

    Why some people achieve a lot with in lives and some struggle to keep it together? This question has been going around in my head lately a lot. I can still hear the tune of my mother’s voice in my ears when she was telling about the life of her former colleague’s daughter. Living abroad,

  • How I Reclaimed Space by Removing a Useless Staircase

    For ages I’ve wanted to post the removing of a staircase on this blog, because I thought it would be a) interesting b) informative c) fun fact As a background info: the staircase become useless, when we opened a new place for the stairs from the living room. My children didn’t laugh when I was

  • I guess you’ve noticed that we have entered into a new year. At least if you follow the Gregorian calendar. Previously I have made a list of things for the upcoming year, but this year I made an exception. No New Year Promises, no detailed plans on how to become a better person. And there’s

  • My social media is broken!

    What is it with the social media platforms, why it’s so difficult to be social as yourself? When you create a new profile with a fake name and fake identity, you suddenly become so willing to share your feelings and ideas? Yes, I admit I’ve done that few times. Don’t forget that I’ve been here

  • Why I wanted to add travel section to my site?

    Have you ever thought what would be the opposite of home? Is it out from home? At work? On the road? For me it is away from home, and it seems like my children have the same longing to see the world as I have. My son has spent 3 months in Peru, and another

  • My “easiest” way to feel stuck in career (5 year edition)

    Life as a single parent can be very demanding. I’m ready to admit that after all these past 12 years. And still, if I’d need to choose again, the only difference would be to do it earlier and to secure my back. When I think about myself 12 years ago, I was living on the

  • Aina pitää kokeilla jotain uutta

    Vierivä kivi ei sammaloidu vai miten se nyt menikään? Jotta elämä ei olisi liian helppoa tai tylsää, päätin laittaa pystyyn matkailublogia myös suomeksi. Olen opiskellut matkailututkintoa, ja ajattelin, että voisin laittaa omia matkailuun liittyviä ajatuksia ja kokemuksia muidenkin nähtäville.

  • I have been thinking of creating a website for my travels and all other tourism connected materials. The problem is that it’s almost 2 years since I put this site up, and I’ve totally forgotten how to adjust everything.
