After travelling years, living abroad in few different countries and new cultures - going back to so called motherland is each time very nostalgic. I never been big fan of Finland, but I appreciate a lot, it is huge blessing to have place - where you are always welcomed.

What exactly is the meaning of home? I guess we have as many meanings for home as we have human beings on this earth. The
meaning home for me has been always quite complex. For sure when I was child everything was more simple, if someone asked
me " what home mean for you?,my answer would have been easy and more concrete"It is house where my family lives. Place where
I can go always, be safe from wind and rain, one happy place where you can run around naked and sing out loud, place to cry and
laugh, eat and shower". Later on thoughts about home has changed a lot and especially when I got 17 years old living in Barcelona
city, I understood it - Home is where your heart is. Everysince it been quite complex. When people say they born to do something,
I'm born to explore and travel the world. When you travel a lot, you probably understand the feeling "The world is my home".


For nine years I been exploring the world very intensely. Each time probably observing if that is place where I would like to come
back one dayand settle down. Concretely my so called home has changed a lot from many different kind of locations into shared
rooms or flats to beautiful apartments to tiny little hotel rooms till being totally homeless. I neverbeen kind of girl who wants to settle down and buy a house, have a dog and have a nine to five kind of working hours. I guess this is one of the reason why I never been
afraid to move to strange country and start everything from zero. Restless soul can be huge pain in ass but also it gives you a lot.
Maybe home is not always having the best television or biggest kitchen, but now as I am growing up... I start to dream about those
basic things. I got strong feeling in around a year or two about having concrete home and place to really settle down has more and
more value and meaning for me. Home for me is a feeling in a heart, but it is also one safe place on earth where you can hide from
everything. For me I need both of them.

It has been my choose to travel, to change, to try out new spots. Barcelona is definitely the kind of city I would love to move back, still kind of not believing if there is enough market for dancers. Living in Berlin is definitely worth to try, so much love to my Berlin. Peru is crazy, few months living there with locals was damn crazy life experience. Living in Finland is just way too boring for me, place to
make money but is it enough for happy life for me - not at all. Thailand year, just smile. Paris - I have love hate relationship to latest
home, Gosh I fucking love you. I have found someone who has filled the part feeling home in deeper level, but I desperately need the visible, tangible home. Getting older ? Hehe noot, I think is damn cool actually feel this way. HOME- Where are you?
