Thursday, 20th August. Carrying two heavy bags, smiling and crying at the same time as I was saying goodbye to my parents and my sister. That was me at 6 in the morning just before I took a flight from the airport of Barcelona and flew through Europe to arrive in Helsinki, the capital of Finland. Alone, afraid and excited. Those three words could perfectly describe me. As I took off the plane and walk my first steps in that new (and not so cold by then) country, I could already feel the blood running through my veins, my body asking me to start living a completely different life surrounded by nature, cold air and new people.
My first day was actually not as good as it seems. I had to struggle to carry those two heavy bags from Helsinki to Tampere by train. All I really wanted to do was to cry and sleep, and I did none of them. My body was shaking, I was so nervous that I didn't even realise yet where I was. I took a deep breath as I arrived to Tampere, my city. Reetta, my student tutor from university, was already there waiting for me with a smile in her face and two kisses, which I really appreciated as I felt like home for few seconds. She showed me my way home and there I stood: new flat, new room, new flatmates, new people, new language, new city, new experiences, new way of life. I couldn't ask for anything else to start my life all over again. Just from the beginning. It is not going to be easy, but it is going to be worth it.
Yep, so this is me. Looking forward to exciting things to happen to me. And that's it for today. Welcome to my life!
