The important first post

Hi everyone,

I feel that this is the high time to start a blog; my flight from London to Bangkok is about to depart in three hours. Let me start by introducing myself.

My name is Mira, I am a 23-year-old Finn who enjoys all things new. By this I mean that I love learning new, trying new and of course, buying something new. I am mainly writing this blog to make my mum believe that I am doing something productive when I leave off to travels. Only joking, at least partially. I do feel that I have something to share and to write about; I have lived all over the place and I feel compelled to always say yes to new challenges. So this blog will be about those things and places and what I learned from all of them.

I attempted to write a blog when I was living in Cape Town as an exchange student, but unfortunately, that has now disappeared into cyber history. So before I reach Bangkok I am going to bring you all up to speed about the main points of me.

I am a very happy, energetic person. On my free time I dance and practice martial arts. I have a degree in International Law which is a big passion of mine. I grew up in Helsinki (Finland), went to 6th form in Cape Town (South Africa) and achieved my university degree in Nottingham (UK).  I am now off to Bangkok because I managed to get a graduate job there as an aid worker/ English teacher with an international humanitarian organisation. I am very much looking forward to this job and the challenges it brings. I will fill you all in as soon as I have started the new chapter of my life in the land of fascinating old culture and traditional monarchy.

I promise to you to write often and to publish photographic evidence of my journey. I will do my best to write clearly, occasionally it might be rushed so please forgive me, and to make it as interesting as possible.

I am happy to get any feedback and if you have a challenge or anything new for me to try, please bring it on and I will oblige.

So until next time!

Your truly,

Mira
