The beginning

Hey there

I’ve been thinking about starting this blog for a long time. For 8 years to be exact. To write down my adventures, my path in life and talk about how all these opportunities we are offered in life can actually make life a lot harder. With a million options how does one choose the path that’s just right?

Who am i? I’m Martta, a 28-year-old adventure loving person. Currently i’m based in Jyväskylä (also known as the Athens of Finland… what the heck?) where i’m finishing my biology degree and trying to get better at yoga. I have a little girl who shares my life and who teaches me something new every day. I spent years in New Zealand and fell in love with the country that, in my opinion, has the most amazing beaches in the world (Raglan & Coromandel, i’m talking about you). I’m addicted to sailing and live for the feel of freedom being at the wheel gives me. I’ve seen some places and am forever grateful for the opportunities travelling has given me.

This will be my story. My journey to this point in my life and my journey onwards. This is how i became me. A story of someone who enjoys the now but also suffers from Peter Pan syndrome with a side of wanderlust. And i hope that maybe this blog will be a place for inspiration, for connecting with people, sharing experiences, finding support or maybe just letting some steam out.

Welcome!

Ps. I’ve chosen to write in English since i’ve got some friends that want to read this and Finnish is not an option for them :)
