Perth, Australia 2010
Ten years ago I had already been living in Australia for 6 months. I had worked at a ski resort , lived in Melbourne and crossed the Nullarbor, before ending up in Perth. It was a great city but my time there was short. I worked at the cricket ground and caught up with friends but I never really settled there and it wasn’t long before I moved on to South Australia.
Portsmouth, England 2020
Now, after ten years living abroad, I find myself back home. Full circle. Years away has given me a new outlook on my hometown but has also allowed me to fall back into old habits and routines that you miss while living away.

Though the last ten years were, and probably will be, the most adventurous of my life I am excited about a new decade. Instead of long trips that last years I plan to make as many short ones as possible. Portsmouth is home, for now at least, but after living in Helsinki for five years I am often tempted to return.

I too was planning on making many short trips this year 🙂 But alas! Well maybe one day. Now I just hope that I get to go to Tallinn this year. And welcome back to Finland anytime (when it’s possible of course)!

I was also keen to visit Tallinn while back in Helsinki in the summer. I’ll have to wait and see if that is possible.
