Relaxed Early Bird



Good day, my fabulous people!


Today I woke up at my beloved sister's place. Yesterday I had a wonderful evening with her and her fiance in Kotka. She taught me the magic of blogging. She also makes her own lifestyle blog, it's in finnish, but you may admire her beauty and even more stunning attitude in life here.




Today I got a ride back to Helsinki early in the morning. 
And as I was walking in the city center I realized that I love watching random people walking around. Ok it sounds creepy, but I like guessing what people do for their jobs, and I like to imagine how their lives are, how they see life. It is fascinating to see the hurry some have and the contrast between those who walk in peace. 

But yes, today is the day! It's THE DAY! Africa here I come.
Later today, my friend's lovely parent offered to drive me to the airport.  So in the evening I'll be walking in the air. And in less than 24 hours I'll be in the wonderful country of Tanzania. 




But, smart girl as I am, I have packed everything well in advance so I had only few things to pack, and now I'm all ready. I had good time to do some fabulous beauty treatment and saunatime by my self. To make it even more special I put some traditional African music to 'Africanize' my head in advance. 





After my beauty treatment I spoiled my self with some blueberry porridge and coffee with After Eights. Now even my tummy is ready for the long travel. Very corny, but I did listen to The Lion King movie soundtrack while eating.  But now I just need to keep my thoughts and mind together, so I won't go crazy from waiting. Maybe I'll go and have some prayer time with the Almighty. 



I just stay amazed of the amazingness of this life. I am so happy, blessed and privileged to have this opportunity to go to Tanzania and I will most definitely try to make it to every adventure that is put in front of me. 
                 
 Few more hours to go!

Travel Excitement


Welcome to my fairytale life


Tomorrow is the day,  Tanzania, Boom, dreams do come true. 

Ok I've never ever had a blog in my life, but there is always the first time in everything. So many of my fabulous friends asked me to keep them updated on the trip, and I thought, why not. This way I might keep myself on track as well!
I might call this a travel diary of some sort.





Why I'm going to Tanzania? Well, It's been always a dream of mine to go and help in Africa somehow. And babies are something I've always loved.


So I found out through a friend about an baby orphanage in Tanzania, called The Cradle Of Love. And then it was the big boom for me, that was the place I knew would be THE place for me to be.







In December after not thinking too much, I quite spontaneously bought tickets to Kilimanjaro airport. You know that feeling when you feel like you did the right thing? Well that was how I felt. Such peace and sureness of making the right decision.






How I feel now is that I have never been so nervous and intimidated about any trip that I've done so far in my life, and I tell you I've done alot of traveling! Ok first of all, I'm going there by my self, and I do not know anyone there in advance. But then again, that will hopefully encourage me to get out of my finnish comfort zone and get to know the locals there. 



Now everything is packed and ready to go for the greatest adventure of my life so far, thank you for choosing  Adventures Of Little Fanni, WELCOME ABOARD!
