My expat journey
Helsinki, Finland
I am currently studying the Finnish language, and next year I will apply to become a nursing student, which is my dream.
Full time student
Everything, literally.
Winter definitely kicked my ass.
California, USA
Millions of things. All of my family and most of my friends live here. I studied to be a nurse and nurses's assistant here and learned a lot about life.
Emergency Fire/Medical Dispatcher (911 to Americans, 112 to Finns)
It will always be my home.
What can I say? America is a beautiful place, with a lot of interesting people. Unfortunately, we also have a lot of problems, like health care and Republicans.

New girl in town needs some social life! :D by Sarah88Spain

From my own experience (having lost 30kg since moving to Helsinki) you need to up your exercise and cut down on the bad things you're eating. Write everything that you eat in a little journal. Overweight people (myself included) classically ... Read More
