Istanbul

today is the second time i really feel like going to Istanbul. Random.
One of my readers once told me that Istanbul is my kind of city, and that I should go there. (btw Kajsa, when was it that you're coming to Malmö?)

and now I read a post from garance (who also took the picture), and it seems fantastic..
I can imagine it's a great mix of the orient & europe, fantastic food, a lot of small cafés with water-pipes (whats the english word for that, I forgot it..)

the sad thing is I now I won't go there whenever I have money & plans for travelling. there are always places that are so much more "important", and places I've been longing to go to forever.
So if anybody, anytime, completely randomly, would like to treat me on a trip..please choose one of those places I wouldn't go to myself, right now..like Istanbul, or Greece (maybe I'll have to when my mom moves there), or Moscow, Iceland...actually..almost anywhere except Argentina, Brazil and U.S..

WISHINGLIST

so the 30th of november is my birthday! that's soon!!
I dont know what I'll be doing, cause it's a tuesday, and partying wont be so much fun, as i have school the day afterwards...I wanna do something fun!!

anyway, I spoke with my mom today to tell her I wanted some money for shoes or the tattoo, but then she said she already got a gift for me! Like always, I had to try to figure out what it was, but it just made me more confusing!
it's something I didn't know I wanted, but I will probably cry of joy when I get it, cause it's soooo beautiful and I will want to bring it out with me all the time..
wtf?!

otherwhise, for my birthday, I want:

• money for my tattoo
• a pair of ankleboots
• a new mobilephone, iPod & compact digitalcamera...or just give me an iPhone
• a canon 1000d + 55-18 & 50 1.8 lenses
• giftcards at IKEA, Indiska, H&M..any shop is fine really, i just want to do some shopping!
• household-machines (wow..boring)
  

sorry friends, all I'm wishing for are expensive things...
you could also treat me for dinner att Indian Curry Hut & Yukai ^^ (wow I really did that smiley?!)

no, just kidding..you don't have to get me anything but LÖV!
I just love doing wishing-lists

ps. also would like an appartment & a man with beard. perhaps both together?

NEW YORK!

wow, just had a revelation!
was looking at my university's website, for some inspiration for next years courses..
next autumn I have the opportunity to choose from different courses, and the 2 courses I want to take distance-courses! they will let me live wherever, and just study with books & lectures given on the internet! how good isn't that for a travel-freak like me!!

Recently (or just all of my life) I've been wanting to go to New York real bad! so maybe thats an option? but I will only have half of my students loan if i take those courses, and being a student is expensive..even more expensive in new york!

where else could I go? maybe i should finally live my dream in southamerica..argentina? brazil?

or on the other side of the world, bali? surfing during the morning, studying in the afternoon, and drinking cocktails on the beach during the evening?

or maybe I should go to Lithuania once more, because it's just so cultural and beautiful & amazing!!

what do you think? do you have any advice on where I should go?

work with Elsa Billgren

Beautiful Elsa Billgren, is looking for an intern.
She's doing press & PR for Beyond Retro, the very best secondhand/vintage-shop in Stockholm!
This intern would get a foot into the buisness by helping her organizing parties, doing press-releases, facebook-events, and just meet and hang around with cool people!
wouldn't that be the best thing ever?! yes, that's why I though...until I realized I live in Malmö..which isn't too bad either.

I'm hoping there will be other chances, and maybe I could do something like this for my internship through my studies in a year or two..yes yes! hoping!

summerhouse

right now I wanna be in a typical swedish summerhouse.
I want to wear my leopard-rubber boots, or just any rubber-boots
I want to pick strawberries & cherries in the garden.
I want to swing on the swing under the big oak.
I want to drink tea and play board-games.
I want to read magazines & watch movies when the rain is pouring down.
I want to have picnic by the water.

travel travel

okay, I thought I'd wake up early, as Lotten was leaving. Have some nice time, long breakfast and some blogreading or whatever, but I've been here too long now....or atcually, have I? I don't really have any place where I have to be...it's not so nic eoutside anywhere...
yeah, think I'm gonna take a shower, eat something nice infront of the computer, watching true blood. episode 1, since everybody says it's so good

also, Lotten gave me her summercard which allows me to travel around all of Scania (Skåne, it's a region in sweden, for thos who don't know)...so I'm thinking about going to Åhus someday and eat their famous ice-cream, Lund to visit some friends, and Helsingborg to..yeah, I don't know. what can I do in Helsingborg?

studies vs. latinamerics

Lotten just left me, and the more I think about it, the more fucked upp I feel.
My brain is spinning around in 360 degrees, trying to figure out what to do the next coming year, and how to do it..
this time there arent 1000's of different ideas and plans, just 2 really strong wishes..

To start with ; I'm gonna miss Lotten so frickin' much!! to eat nice dinners, not alone..to make popcorn and put on a movie every night, and to sleep next to her..wow it sounds like we're a couple...maybe that's what I should get. a man..
well, i wish her all the best now she's going out in the world with her backpack, and only that. well a tent and a sleeping-bag too..in case she needs to borrow somebodys garden..just go wherever her feet takes her, and her heart tells her to..

Yesterday I worked at that blues-pub. It was better then I thought, eventhough most guests were 50 yearold men o seem to go there quite often, drinking about 15 beers, and letting us put it all on a bill for them, to pay later on.
The biggets problem for me right now is that it's impossible for me to get home, if I have to work later than 00.30, which is quite likely...I can't afford taking a taxi everytime

my other even more biggest problem is that I want to study so fucking much!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited, and i would love to start this autumn, as I got accepted and all. but as you all know, I really want to go to latinamerica, and I want to do it before I study..I want to stay for a couple of months starting fom december. I know latinamerica will always be where it is , but the reason I have to go now is:
1. because there is a taizé-meeting in chile which ALOT of my latin (and european) friends are going too, it would be a big opportunity for me to meet them all again..
2. I have many friends around latinamerica with whom I could stay with and who knows how the situation would be in 5 yeas after my studies...

also, after I've studied I don't have time to play around like that anymore. then I want to get started building up my and Lottens community & work hard...

so , what to do..start my studies, try to save money somehow, quit my studies after some months, and go travel? and try to keep on with the studies next year?


well, anyway, I had a kind-of-interview in a very modern & nice clothingshop yesterday, and I'm hoping I might get that!
maybe then, things'll clear up a bit. we'll see..

kisses & wondering
