Ethiopian

Publicerad 2012-05-28 14:31:50 i Toronto, Canada,

A couple of days a go Becky brought me to an Ethiopian restaurant cuz I had never tried it before. I must say, it was a little weird, and kinda spicy so not really my type of food.. But glad I've tried it.
After we went to an outside place called Rino, they have beers from all over the world. We went for two berry flavored beers and they were really good.

Har fått lite frågor angående mina studier i Hawaii & mitt liv i Toronto, så här kommer en liten sammanfattning.

Hej!
kan inte du berätta, hur kom du till hawaii? 
var det dyrt? hur gick man tillväga med stipendier osv. 
Åkte du själv? får du inte hemlängtan. 
Hur var skolan i hawaii?
Vad gör du i toronto?
skulle bli så himla glad om du svarar på dessa frågor! Jag har nämligen planer på att åka efter studenten ocksåå! 
kram, kaisa :)

 

För ca ett & ett halvt år sedan tog jag ett beslut att själv lämna Svea riket & bege mig ut i världen som jag alltid velat göra. Jag åkte till Hawaii genom en organisation (IBS) kändes tryggt att gå igenom dem eftersom det var min första stora egna resa. Dem hade ett program som passade mig perfekt – Travel Industry Management, ett år i Honolulu. Hawaii är inte den billigaste staten, men mat, kläder osv är ändå lite billigare än i Sverige så det är skönt. Skolan (alla skolor i USA kostar ju en del), jag tog CSN lån, summan tror jag för allt var ca 140 000kr, med dem pengarna betalade jag flyg, boende och skola under det året, själv hade jag också sparade pengar som jag använde för att åka på äventyr osv.

Tyvärr sökte jag inga stipendium, lite klantigt kanske eftersom det hade ju vart en hjälp på traven. HPU är en jättefin & mysig skola, små klasser & personliga lärare. Tyvärr ligger den i downtown och många bor i mitten av Waikiki, men det går bussar hela tiden som tar mellan 20-40min beroende på rustrafiken.

Efter mitt år i Hawaii var jag redo för ett nytt äventyr, ville åka nånstans lite annorlunda, så valde helt spontant att bosätta mig i Toronto, så flyttade direkt från Hawaii’s vita stränder i januari 2012 till Torontos stadsliv.(Many thought I’d gone crazy, haha).

Jag sökte Work & Holiday Visa, vilket gav mig möjligheten att jobba. Så efter spenderat fyra dagar i Toronro fick jag jobb och lägenhet. Trivs jättebra, och ska om en vecka åka hem till Sverige igen efter vart borta i 9 månader i sträck.. crazy. Jag är ingen som får nån jättehemlängtan men nu efter så lång tid så kliar det lite i fingrarna att jag vill krama mina nära & kära, men annars så är det lugnt. Det finns skype, viber etc som fungerar hur bra som helst. Sen, tro mig man har fullt upp hela tiden & månaderna bara flyger iväg!

Hoppas detta hjälper, Lycka till!
Har ni mer frågor så är det bara att hära av er :)

My Hawaii Life


My winter life in Toronto (Niagara Falls)

Toronto Islands

Publicerad 2012-05-25 03:15:28 i Toronto, Canada,

Took the ferry to the Toronto Islands today. Wanted to do it for so long but been busy or the weather been bad, today was perfect.
Walked around the island and parked myself with a blanket in the sun with a snack and water, reading my book and dreaming away.

Road trip with Becky yesterday.
Our first stop was a small waterfall an hour outside Toronto. The fall was so cute, beautiful and the nature was amazing. There was a rainbow as well and we climbed some mountains to get to our picnic stop where we enjoyed the summer weather, food, nature and each others company. :)

 


Moi & Becky

Wonderful!

Found this funny labyrinth in the middle of downtown! All business people were walking around trying to solve it and find their way out, and maybe get some exercise on their break (?) haha, I thought it looked really funny but people
seemed to enjoy it, I might try it one day ;).

Besides the awful thunderstorms and lightning that's been going on lately, the sun still comes out every now and then.. This weekend is suppose to be nice, keep my fingers crossed!

Quality time

Publicerad 2012-05-02 16:39:30 i Toronto, Canada,

Spent the evening and night at Becky's house, we both worked late and opened the store this morning so decided to have a sleep over. We ate pastries and drank wine while watching Sienfeldt.
Her and her b-friend are going to Montreal for the weekend so I might stay at their place and look after Felix (cat).

My parents sent me the second picture, a picture I took with my previous school DBGY in fbg. Haha so weird but funny. :) Love that school & my three years I spent there.
