moving!


I've been in Byron Bay more then 6 months now and been moving here one place to other quite few times. My home been backpackers for few weeks, beach house were we had closest family here and best crew ever, my boss's house out of centre, car on the beach and back together with few old housemates another house....I don't like moving, its always trouble but same time its exciting too. Now I'm settled here in new house for couple of months, but i already have moving thoughts just because my time here will be over soon. It makes me sad, clad, excited...everything u could think. But hey its one part of being traveller. Its not just saying goodbyes all the time to your travel mates and real good friends but its also moving a lot too. I've been traveller who's been staying in one place extremely long anyway and i already think there is so many changes every day, what I'm gonna do when I'm on the road..can i handle this amount of moving and saying goodbyes?! Now i guess its time to say when and where...well i wont promise anything but I'll say end of April and to south-west for month and then most likely home. Whats gonna happen after this?.... who knows...just going with the flow..

Inspiring surfing

Today i went for quick surf before work and what i saw....one early twenty's guy was surfing next to me...just not another good surfer next to me, but good surfer with one arm. How inspiring is this?! Don't know what happened with his arm, maybe shark attack. In fact we just had here few days ago shark attack, when one shark decided to taste surfers board. Luckily nobody didn't get hurt just one more board less in this big surfing world. Been here already so long that all these kind of news still doesn't make me to stay out of water, still keep surfing, still keep ignoring fact that i might get bitten by shark.

Estonian Independence Day!!!

Celebrating Estonian Independence Day by making potato salad...me and Grete decided to celebrate this day properly, had plan to make salad like we do on these special occasions back home and were planning to have some vodka shots. I was feeling little bit bad on this day so we didn't make vodka shots, just class of wine. Some friends game over to my house to be witnesses of this celebration and they had opportunity to hear Estonian hymn. Me and Grete were bit shy so we sang that outside, but we were proud. Proud Estonians!!! hip hip hurray!!!









beach on that day, beautiful as usual!

what goes around comes around...

another week is ending in this paradise.....would live this life forever, for real! Every day is one step closer to end of this trip and i discover myself thinking of leaving more and more. Making plans every day, changing them every day. If somebody will ask me what are my plans then i still keep answering "my plan is no plans!" its kinda working but this time i have to make decision about going back home or to stay here for another year. Its quite big decision to make. But i know whatever i do everything will work out good, always! No worries! another week is ending in this paradise.....would live this life forever, for real! One another adventure week is ending. One day i got parking ticket, it made me sad, day after i found 60 $ and ipod, it made me clad. One day i broke my board what made me almost cry, another day we found a bicycle, it made me laugh. Got cheap accommodation for week, got to know that best people to work with and the best boss ever left the place i work at, got my best surf session so far, got smashed by big wave and lost bracelet. What goes around comes around... so true, even if I'm stacked on the roundabout!

You are nothing when you out there!

I had my best surf session last night during the sunset, didn't come out of the water before it went dark and i just couldn't see any waves. Everybody who saw me they actually made me feel even more confident and they didn't keep back with compliments. I feel finally I'm improving!!!! Tomorrow will hit the waves at 7.30 am, oh ahhh haven't been up so early for ages.....grrr





I love sunset surf session most, the view is amazing, nothing can beat this feeling to be in water at this time. U are nothing when u out there!



Few days ago when we had camera girl with us

Sleepwalking or ghost?

Byron is magical, spiritual place - i knew that already before i arrived. I lived for month with my boss because didn't have anywhere else to live. He had recently sad event in his family, his granddad died. Two night later he saw somebody in his room around 4 am and this somebody looked like me. He called my name, but there wasn't any answer, this figure just moved closer and then away again but didn't say anything. He called again couple of times my name because it looked like me. Then he turned lights on and by this time the room was empty. Next day he told me that he thinks that his granddads spirit game to visit him. Then i had de ja vu.....and i told him that apparently something like this happened before. I was living with 10 people before Xmas and in one room there were two German girls. One of these girls granddad died few nights before i did same thing to her. I was sitting on her bed and staring at her without saying anything. Exactly 4 am. She called my name few times, i moved my face closer and farther again and then i just left. I wounder what was this: ghost or something new for me-sleepwalking, never done it before.

thank god we have sunglasses

thank god we have sunglasses and i can think that with them nobody could recognise me. went to beach with borrowed skateboard, on the way back the speed went up too quick and i couldn't stop the board. i jumped off and my board was keep running, towards to the main roundabout. me running straight after board. cars keep driving without seeing my board. one car had little crash with board, no damage tho. me on the roundabout between cars saving the board. drivers blow the horn. embarrassing! took quickly my board, walked away and thought thank god i had sunglasses on
