So, I finally did it. I booked flights to Dublin and I’m leaving in less than four weeks. I have no idea where I’m going, yet, but I have a few options open. Anyway, it’s going to be something to do with animals and volunteer work. I’m gonna stay on a farm or an animal center for 3-4 weeks, find out what it’s like, then maybe go back at some point to stay even longer.

This is something I’ve been dreaming about for my whole life! Doing it now! And I couldn’t be more excited. What I don’t get is the fact it’s taken me years to actually make the decision and leave – now that the flight is booked, it feels like the easiest thing in the world. I might end up going from farm to farm, seeing the world, meeting new people for the rest of my life! Who knows.

Oh yeah, wait. I still have a fiance and a dog in Finland. Well, I’ll just have to balance these two things!

The black paintings I posted earlier – I just sold the other one a few days ago. The butterfly picture is still here and ready for a new loving home! I’m planning to do two bigger ones (100 x 50cm) soon, so keep posted!
