My walk to work looks peaceful… until my brain starts thinking about snakes. 🐍

Ordered groceries on DoorDash in Australia for the first time today… and I couldn’t stop laughing when my order arrived. 😂

I added “banana” to my cart thinking I was getting a bunch, but nope… it was literally ONE banana. 🍌 Lesson learned!

Now I’m curious… is that normal here? Do you all order bananas by the piece? 😅

Also, I’ve realized DoorDash is a lifesaver for heavy items. Since I don’t have a car, I mostly use it for things like bottled water, detergent, and bulky groceries that I definitely don’t want to carry home.

What’s the funniest grocery ordering mistake you’ve ever made? And what’s your go-to item to get delivered instead of buying in person?

1 MILLION views in 3 months… honestly still feels unreal. 🥹🤍

A few months ago, I was just sharing my daily life, from living in Finland before, to starting over here in Australia, adjusting to a new place, new people, and a completely different life.

I didn’t think anyone would care about my random food videos, little moments, homesick days, or simple everyday life… but somehow, so many of you connected with it.

Thank you for being here through this transition with me. For watching, supporting, and making this journey feel less lonely.

From Finland to Australia… and this is only the beginning. ✨

This morning felt a little weird to me.

I was walking to work in the rain, holding an umbrella in the middle of an early Australian morning, and I suddenly realized… I never used umbrellas back in Finland.

Not once.

And it’s funny because Finland has way harsher weather. Snow, freezing rain, cold wind that hits your face like ice. But living there, you just get used to it. You throw on a jacket, put your hood up, and keep walking. Nobody really cares about getting a little wet.

But here in Australia, I’ve somehow become the type of person who carries an umbrella to work.

It sounds like such a small thing, but standing there this morning under the streetlights made me think about how much my life has actually changed.

Moving countries changes you slowly. Not all at once. It’s not some dramatic movie moment where everything suddenly becomes different overnight. It’s little things. New routines. New habits. New ways of living.

And sometimes those little things hit the hardest.

Back in Finland, life felt familiar even when it was difficult. Here, life feels exciting, but also unfamiliar at times. Some days I love it here. Other days I miss home in ways I can’t even explain properly.

I miss the silence.
I miss the cold air.
I miss feeling like I fully belong somewhere.

But at the same time, I know moving here helped me grow as a person. It forced me out of my comfort zone. It made me independent. It made me realize how strong you actually have to be to start over somewhere completely new.

This morning, while holding that umbrella and walking to work before sunrise, I just had one of those quiet realizations.

Life really took me far from the person I used to be.

And maybe that’s not a bad thing.

Maybe growing up is accepting that you change. That parts of you stay the same, but other parts slowly adapt to wherever life takes you.

So now I’m just a girl walking through rainy Australian mornings with an umbrella in my hand, trying to build a life that still feels unreal sometimes.
