Last days of Finnish winter

Today I had a lovely walk in the snowy woods with my dear mom. The weather was absolutely beautiful! It was a cold and sunny winter day with crisp,refreshing air and fluffy,fresh snow as light as feather. We were walking along a tiny trail in the woods while the sun was shining behind the trees making the fresh snow sparkle like diamonds. After walking a while we heard funny noise and finally saw a woodpecker pecking an old tree. That was actually the only noise you were able to hear in the snow covered forest. Otherwise it was just quiet and peaceful. I loved having a relaxing walk with my mom in the silent winter wonderland and it was a very nice break from the busy routine. It was just a perfect day and perfect weather to enjoy the last moments of winter in Finland and the companionship of my family.


  
 

Because... In two days I'll be traveling to Australia for my student exchange! :D  I'll spend there the next 6 months studying,traveling and exploring with my boyfriend and the new friends I'll make there. How exciting! :D I'm so grateful I had a chance to experience the real Finnish winter before I leave (Since I love winter!) but I'm also looking forward to the sunny beaches, warmth, fresh fruits and new adventures I'll have in Australia. And most of all I'm looking forward to see my boyfriend, who I haven't seen for 3 months! We are having a long distance relationship and finally in Australia we can live together for six months. That is going to be awesome!



Only two days until my travels start, and I'm trying not to stress too much about it and enjoy the last days I have in Finland. Even though I'm excited to leave I'm also a little sad...it's sad to leave my family and friends and not to experience the rest of the winter... but they will be here when I get back and I have so many opportunities and experiences ahead of me so I'm ready to go. :) There are so many things I have to do and remember for my travels and that is making me just a liiittle nervous haha, but I'm trying to take it easy and enjoy journey. I hope I can sleep the next two night though! :D But I'll be thinking of the beautiful snowy trees and powder snow I've seen and dreaming of the palm trees and the sun I'll face only in few days in my new "home country". Can't wait to tell you how it's going to be in the land down under! I promise to keep you posted! Stay tuned! ;)
