Celebrating my US-visa and last days at the cruise ship with sunshine and heavy metal dinosaurs 🤘

in #travel7 years ago (edited)

Tomorrow I'm leaving the ship and going home to a (hopefully not so stressful) week of packing cleaning and moving out of my apartment where I've been living for the last two years. One step closer to the 17th of August when I will leave Finland for a year to study acting in Long Beach, California. It is all starting to feel quite real, even though I don't think I will be able o fully comprehend that I'm moving to the US before I'm actually there. I just got a mail saying that my visa has arrived so I'm celebrating in the sunshine! ☀

It's such a beautiful day!

Even with 500 kids onboard the cruise ship I work at, I still had time to relax a bit in the sun (after doing 124 face paintings). Then I had the pleasure of enjoying a hevisaurus concert. They are probably the most popular childrens band in Finland and I think you can understand why when you see the pictures:

I mean dinosaurs singing heavy metal songs about things like going to the zoo and drinking milk. Could it be any better? :D They even made a song about my big white fluffy buddy Harri the seal!

I might not be able to post as much during the coming week since I have a lot to do at home. But I will try to stay as active on steemit as possible!

I hope you're having a wonderful day!

Mia

Us visa is my dream

Then I hope you achieve it some day! :)

I hope so, Where are U from !!

From Finland

Ohh Finland, I love it good country to live and have a happy life, Can i get your facebook profile!

I'd rather not give it, and I don't even really use facebook

Dinosaurs.... heavy metal.... I think I've seen it all lol, great picture!

Haha :P thank you!

Nice! I've always wanted to do a proper cruise but haven't figured out yet where I would want to go exactly

The cruises between Finland and Sweden are quite nice if you're traveling in Scandinavia and want to see the archipelago, if you only want to go for a cruise then I think a little longer one in Norway or a Mediterranean cruise might be nicer :)

Ah yes that sounds perfect! Scandinavia is high on my list of places to visit in the near future! Thanks for the tip :)

No problem! Wow your pictures are amazing!! Really nice travel photos :) Looking forward to seeing more of them!

Thanks! Will post a lot more later ;)

124!? That's a ton of faces to paint. Haha! Congrats on your visa. You'll love Long Beach. 😄 Those dinos are hilarious!

Thank you! I really look forward to it! :)

You probably have a place lined up. If not I have a place available and will give you a discount off my listed price. https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/16203440

20 minutes from Long Beach and 2 blocks from Disneyland. Watch Disneyland fireworks from your bed.

Hi thanks for the offet! I don't have a place yet but I'm looking for something closer to campus. I will how ever visit Disneyland with my friend who is a huge Disneyland fan if she comes to visit. Maybe then we could stay at your place :)

No problem. I just thought it was such a coincidence that my current guest is leaving the 16th and I need somone on the 17th after he is gone. Then saw you coming in the 17th. Thought I would offer. Feel free to stop by. Use the swimming pool to cool off in case it's hot. There is also a place about 2 blocks from here that sells Disneyland discount tickets. If you have none, you may want to stop there and get yours. I can also show you the easy way to get in the park. If she is a real fan, I could take you on a tour of some hidden history of Disneyland. They hide a lot of the historical stuff at this one place and most visitors have no clue but real Disney fans would probably love it.

haha, that is a coincidence yes :P And really nice of you, thank you so much for the offer! :) I have no idea when she'll be visiting me though, but I'll remember when I know for sure!

congrats on the Visa and enjoy your stay.

Thank you! :)
