Can I go already???

This blog is meant for my family & friends who might wanna follow my doings on the other side of the globus. I'd rather write in finnish but as some special people in GER&IRL&UK&whoknowswhere might also want to know I'm alive, I suppose I have to do it in a funny language. So you should read&comment, otherwise I'm quickly changing back to the comfort zone.

I still have to find a place for my car, otherwise I'm sooooo ready to go. I've given notice at work, I made tax&vat clearance for this year already a month ago and my backpack is half packed. But I still have to wait for a month. What a horror. 3 weeks at work and one week taking care of the rest of all kinds of practical necessities. On my birthday I'm getting myself pumped up with loads of weird vaccinations. That'll be a celebration! If that cocktail of foreign antigenic materials in my body wont make me sick - nothing does.
 
At new years eve I can finally use my oneway ticket to Bangkok! I'll land Jan 1st and will kick off the year 2012 with a Singha in my hand.

After that I've got at least 7 months in front of me without snow, minus degrees & office. Instead there'll be lots of bears, rhinos, volcanoes, mountains&climbing and a few beaches.

The return ticket is still to be booked. Or maybe I'll just stay in a bamboo hut in Borneo or Sannas trailer in Anchorage. Who knows. The plan anyways is to travel around Asia from Jan to May and then move forward towards North America. Beginning June I should see the peaks of Alaska in front of me. Yayy! From there I might head to Iceland & Norway (yea, I know, once again, I'm boring...). But we shall see about that later.
