Rakkaudesta ruokaan

Now that I've already mentioned diets we can switch the whole focus to food. And have a look some pictures from what I've actually eaten in my bygone trips.

Street food @ Portobello Road, London

After the fight it has been a bit difficult to return back to my "normal" eating habits and routines. Although I can finally eat what I want to, I still don't want to overeat. And for me, that's the problem. So, now I only need to find the right balance between training and nourishment. A good balance without any extra worries about weight loss (nor weight gain) or measured dinner portions.

Coffee break @ Évora

Paleo bread and dish from the local market place @ Copenhagen

Coffee, arepas and fruits @ Barcelona

For me food is more than nutritions. It's a pleasure, a source of energy, a passion and once in a while even a way to reward myself with something luxurious.

Ice-Cream @ Rome

On the other hand, eating is an activity of daily living. But there's still enormous amount of people around the globe who doesn't have enough food to feed themselves nor the members of their families. And us living up here in the North are so lucky to have plenty of food to consume.

Lunch @ Montserrat

But this isn't something what is constantly on our minds 'cause we have taken it for granted. When we're feeling hungry we just walk in to our kitchens and stuff our greedy little mouths with whatever we may find. And afterwards we're having bad consciense 'cause we ate way too much. But if we don't eat we'll turn grumpy and then it's a serious business for everyone around us. Therefore it's more than important to have some little snacks in our pockets and handbags.

Another beer and food @ Prague

Pork Chop @ London

Tapas @ Barcelona

Raclette dish @ Prague

Something traditional @ Prague

So, to keep our blood sugar levels up, all we need to do is eat. It may sound simple, but have you tried it overseas? Do you how does it feel like when you're in a unkown town and you're starving? Do you know where to find the right kind of food to fit your diet? And what would you do if you can't find any? How will you cope with yourself? What's your way to survive?

Baby Squids @ Barcelona

Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you who you are.

What's The thing that makes your summer? What do you need to make it a bit better that the previous one? Have you got any must-things-to-do that you simply cannot pass? Any old habits that you tend to do year after year or some wicked or naughty ideas you would like to do?

You can call it survival kit, to-do-list or whatever you want to, you name it. And liked it or not, but now I'm about to share some of my summer thoughts to you fellas. I'll shortly (by few photos) let you know what I'm usually doing when I'm not at work.

Because of the bare fact that I need to work I don't have so much time to do anything during the days. But weekends on the other hand are blessings, pure blisses to my life (and for all the others who are working on weekdays). Sure you can get a lot of things done after coming home from work, but then you might feel yourself a bit tired at the end of the day or the day after. But it's all about your attitude and how do you use your daily minutes and hours. Remember that time is valuable and precious, do not throw it away.  

For those of you who already know me, you know that I'm at my best when I'm eating. And oh yes I love eating! And if I ever start to seem a bit anxious or grumpy just give me something to eat, please. It will make me feel a lot better. And I bet that you don't want to see me while I'm having my-snickers-moment-of-the-day. Neither do I if I was you.

And what comes to delicacies, the photo above will show you my weakness. If I could I would live the rest of my life eating nothing else but yummy ice-creams. 

Though it's summer it's not an excuse to be lazy, eat and do nothing. Think about all the stuff you put in to your mouth and how much you do sports or get your ass up from the couch anyway? You can be a loafer every once in a while but not all the time. Go out for a walk. Meet up with your friends and hang around with them. If you live by the sea (or some river or lake) run to the water. Feel those refreshing waterdrops against your skin.

Summer is nothing without rain and here in Finland we tend to have it quite often. And these days when it rains it usually rains a lot. That's why you must have rubber boots in your closet. The more colorful or patterned they are the better! These so to call "wellies" are also pretty useful when you go to festivals where suprisingly and by chance rains too. I've been in Provinssirock twice and on both times it has been raining. Although, in this year it rained a lot more than last time. And I bet you don't want to ruin your Chucks or any other beloved shoes you have, so go and get yourself a wellies! 

Enjoy all the little things in life. If it's necessary, take some time for yourself. Take a journey to the inner you and find the real you. It might take time so don't hustle. Found the beat thats moves you, the one that gives you strength and will to go further.  

Wave your hands in the air

like you don't care.

Glide by the people as they

start to look and stare.
