What happened after?

One of the most current spots where I ended up in my path.
This stuff suits me so much better than 4-concrete walls around me.

@ Killarney National Park, Ireland.

30/01/2010 :: vlog #0 - Some thoughts for you.

vlog_zero - escaping in progress.

This video was shooted with iphone, 31.january 2010, in the last day when I still had my old apartment in Turku, Finland. I was very tired to city-life, and all by-products and shit what usually comes with city-life. I think I am expressing some of that in this short clip. Day after that I moved out and started to live without own apartment, or bills of any sort, and by that, I took small steps towards the new lifestyle which I had been dreaming for so long time already. And man... Its been crazy since that. And absolutely great.


That decision took me to a journey where I still found myself. First to few month travels in Portugal and Thailand and then 8 months in around Malaysia and Bali. My path has went through many different adventures, and I am deeply grateful because of those inspiring and unforgettable moments. Eventually my journey took me to study Permaculture in Kinsale, Ireland, at europes first Transition Town. Check the links for more information.


At the time of writing this, I´ve just arrived few days ago to Finland once again to see my family and friends, and its 29.may 2012. I have my nest in Ireland, in an three floor old Bed & Breakfast which we rented together with a group of people from Finland, Germany, Ireland, Sweden and Spain. Naturally friends from other countries like Slovakia, Italy, UK, USA, Switzerland and Iceland are present often as well. 97% of them are permaculturist or interested about it at least, so it seems that that has become to my major permaculturic melting pot called Murphys Farmhouse. I have my studio, bed and library there, beautiful garden at backyard and massive cypress tree to climb. What else you could need?

And in this video here, little bit more that 2 years ago I was so lost and tired.
And now I am bursting life :)


So strange what environment shift does isn´t it...?
