Madrid, Spain 1/2010

This was my second "real" trip abroad. I went there with one of my friends. Just a few days but enough time to relax. We spent our nights in Best Western Atlantico hotel which my friend kindly picked for us. My friend warned that I might not like miso soup but I'm always eager to try new things. From that moment I've LOVED sushi! My favorite is unagi nigiri.

Getting ready at home.

Shanghai, China 10/2010

This was my first real trip to abroad (if you don't count Sweden, Norway and Estonia). It was my 30th birthday and I went there with my dear fiance. China was the reason why I started to take photos of public toilets because I was so shocked when I bumped into my first squat toilet (a hole in the ground). Yes! Now I've seen them all around the world; Russia, Georgia, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Ukraine etc..

Who's Wanda?

You are probably wondering who the fuck is Wanda. I am. I'm a 33 year old eathling from Finland. Now where the fuck is Finland? It's in Northern Europe. Finland is bordered by Sweden to the west, Norway to the north, Russia to the east, and Estonia to the south across the Gulf of Finland.

I'd describe myself being a little bit eccentric person. I'm drawn to the weird stuff. I've travelled a bit and it all started in October 2010 when it was my 30th birthday. I had never really travelled (you don't really count Sweden and Estonia because "every" Finn has been to Stockholm and Tallin) before. Well, when I was a little kid my parents drove to Hammerfest, Norway. When I was little we used to drive around Finland in our car. Then we'd stay in a hotel and carry on the next day. Fun memories. But now during these last 3 years I've been making up for the lost time...big time. Every time I get free from work (like this Easter) I have to go abroad!
