30 things to do before I turn 30
When I turned 25 I made a list of 30 things that I wanted to
do before I turn 30. Slowly, I'm crossing things off.

my beloved Vasara 2012.

I'm happy to see so many plans. I think I'll appreciate life even more. One of the plans for the near future is to visit the North https://poseidonexpeditions.com/northpole/ . My father told me stories about glaciers of penguins and northern landscapes. Now I'm filled with it and I dream to see everything with my own eyes. In addition, to do selfie with a bear)
