I see London, I see Sams Town

I'm off to England in approximately 5 hours. There are no words for this feeling, buzzing of joy and excitement in a way completely foreign to me. I've never been abroad without my family. My exchange year doesn't really count, as I did have a super lovely and caring host family. It's the first time I'm traveling with just one of my best friends, so this trip will probably be a whole new world compared to all the others I've made during my 18 years on this planet. I look forward to what the world will bring us.

I know I haven't uploaded any Vlogmas videos yet. I decided to start vlogging in England, as that's a bit more interesting to watch than just me rambling about The Sims 3. I'll also take a lot of analogue pictures that I'll get developed after the trip.

I hope you are all still well,
enjoy the pictures and wish me luck

Lately I've been having a lot of wishes, small and big ones. I thought some of you might be interested in reading a post like this, and I hope it doesn't make me seem like a superficial person. Then again, most of my wishes aren't found to be materialistic or wanting certain things, so I guess that rules out the judgement.



Traveling.

I know I just came back from my exchange year, but I'm hungry to see new streets, turn new corners and watch a whole new world around me again. It's been a while, and I'm getting bored of being settled. I've been browsing different cities, what to do, what to see and such: Paris, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Stockholm. I wish I could just pack my bag with clothes and a camera and leave, but I guess it's not that simple. Especially not now that school's started again.

Anyway, me and some friends have been planning a trip to London or somewhere for New Years. Hoping that it'll happen, it is something I'm greatly looking forward to.




Then, maybe something classified more as aspiring rather than wishing.
Dancing.

I want to be good at it again. I feel like it's something I left behind a bit too hasty, and I find myself regretting it now that my skills have gone down noticeably. Right now I'm doing Contemporary and Lyrical Hiphop at the same dance school I used to go to. Funny enough, the owner of the place remembered me. Made me feel sentimental in a way, and wanting to do my best this semester. Who knows, maybe I'll be dancing in the front rows at this years exhibition?

Tate.

 
I think Tate modern is my favorite place to get lost in. I swear I could wander around there for hours without getting tired. Note to self: wear comfier shoes next time, as new Dr. Martens aren't really known for being gentle on your feet the first couple of months you wear them.
Went to see both of the special exhibitions during the Christmas holidays. Klein + Moriyama was a fantastic photography exhibition with pictures from the street life of New York and Tokyo. I enjoyed that a lot, as I found myself getting lost in the photos. The other exhibition was called A Bigger Splash. Let's just say it wasn't my kind of art, but still worth checking out. 
I definitely see myself as someone, who will visit Tate regularly... 

so don't look ahead, never look ahead.

Feels like it's been a while since last time.. Sorry about that! I don't really have any excuse for not blogging. It's not lack of creativity, quite the opposite. I've been spending all the free-time I have while not working on painting, making music etc. Summer keeps me inspired, all though it's been really rainy and not too warm, so I don't know what kind of summer this is supposed to be. I think I'll be doing some sort of art-post very soon. Leave a comment below if you're interested in seeing some of my work and/or work in progress, will you?

Above are some pictures from my trip to Gdansk. I didn't take too many pictures there, which is kind of sad, as the city was very beautiful. We stayed in the center of the old city. All those colorful, old buildings made me fall in love with that town(as well as the cheap coffee..) I'll probably end up traveling there again sometime.
