From the 13th to the 17th of April I was in Copenhagen, Denmark, attending an international (nordic) Baha'i Youth Conference! Check out the homepage frome here: www.bahai.dk/nyc06/nyc06.html The conference was open for all, and it was a GREAT success! There are a lot of pics on this page: http://unity.pp.saunalahti.fi/karvonen/tanska

I was in Italy, in the city of Fano from July 7th to August 7th, because I was working as an au pair in the lovely family of Luzi. I will write about this marvellous city and the sites near it as soon as I can, but during the last year I've been very very busy. There will also be exclusive photos and great tips once I have enough time. :) Be sure to check the page out!

BUT back to business: Ciao dudes and be welcome to get to know me. :)

.I've been to.
Yp! I really love travelling. My first tours I made with my parent, we did these long, one-month or even longer car-tours all around Europe. All together three trips: first one to Middle Europe, then to the Baltic countries and the last destiation was Greec and Italy. I've also been to Israel, oh boy I love Haifa!!! Altogether I can sum up with something like 20 countries I've been to.

.Style.
I travel with attitude. I don't wanna see glamour hotels or the most clicheish tourist traps. I wanna see real everyday life, real everyday people and real everyday places. Also the best accomplishments of the old cultures of each country I visit. As a memeber of the international Baha'i community I also meet other Baha'is wherever I go.

.What's up, then?.
Next thing I'm up to is a year in Chile or in Mongolia. Yp, ye heard right. I'm gonna live in either of the places for a year. I'm gonna be doing a Baha'i year-of-service there, and if anyone has good tips for me, PLEASE contact me! :) Every hint is appreciated! My special interest in Chile would be Fireland, or in spanish, Tierra del Fuego. THAT would be a cool place to go.

I've added all the places I've been to, but I was so small when I went to some places that I'm not gonna be able to write tips on them. I'll write some stuff about the more recent trips and of course my hometown Rovaniemi. So keep up checkin!!
