It's the most wonderful time of the year

Christmas time is my favourite time of the year without a doubt! I usually start my own celebrations in November by listening to Christmas songs, making gingerbread cookies and decorating my room accordingly. Buying and wrapping presents is also one of my favourite things to do around christmas time. I feel like everyone is more giving and in a better mood in general this time of the year.

 During the past years I've spent Christmas in Finland, Spain, Morocco, Kenya, Thailand and this year in India. I must say that spending Christmas in Finland (usually at my grandma's) feels coziest, because of the snow and just basic traditions that have formed over the years, like going to church on Christmas Eve and drinking glögi (a traditional Christmas drink). This year my family decided to come to Kerala, India for Christmas. Celebrating christmas in +30 c and eating Indian food on Christmas Eve is quite different, not that I'm complaining (I never want to leave this paradise) :) I think that's because the Finnish traditional winter is cold, snowy and it's so exotic here. I think it's great exploring different kinds of Christmas' though. Here's what Christmas in Kerala looks like.

I live to travel

My passion is traveling and this year I've been in a couple great locations... This Summer I went to Paris to visit my sister's best friend and then I went to L.A where my sis lives. I seriously live to travel and wouldn't mind doing it 12 months out of the year. There are so many places I still want to see and hopefully will someday. My favourite places to visit so far have been L.A., Paris, Singapore and London (can't choose one). When the winters in Finland get the way they are (-20 celcius) the thing that mostly gets me through is fantasizing of future vacations. Here are a few pics of my Summer...

Hey everyone! Soo finally got to starting my own blog after contemplating it for some time. My name is Suvi and I live in Finland. At the moment I'm taking a year off after high school to figure out what it is I truly want to do with my life. Meanwhile doing that I'm going to be writing this blog, which is going to discuss topics such as fashion, beauty, traveling, health, food and baking, and other topics. Hope you enjoy!
