Excited!

Woo time has flown by so fast. Only 2 weeks anymore until we leave Finland behind us and head to Canada.

Since the last post we have found an apartment uptown of Toronto. It is a basement apartment on a nice street close to a park. The apartment has a separate bed room and is just renovated. It is not totally furnished, but there is an IKEA and Walmart in the near. Feels nice to finally decorate our place for a bit longer time. We have been moving so much the last years, that it made no sense to buy new stuff. We agreed to rent this apartment for at least one year, but our landlady told us that the previous tenants have loved it so much, that they have been living there for the whole four years.

The first week in Toronto we have to stay in a hostel, because the previous tenant is not able to move out earlier. From our short trip to London last year we had experience in searching for hostels and this time we were again quite critical. Eventually we found a nice looking hostel downtown. Still we have to trust on the reviews other travelers have given and just hope it is clean and on a safe street.

Our last days in Finland will consist of seeing our friends and family as much as possible, packing and enjoying the Finnish summer. We still have a wedding, a family weekend and several farewell parties to look forward to.

Only 68 days!

It is coming closer and closer. Only 68 days and we will be sitting in the plane to Toronto.
Yesterday, we booked our flight tickets and we even found a good deal.
We will be flying with Iceland air, with one pit stop in Reykjavik.

It is getting more and more real and we are also getting more and more excited.
My husband is almost every day waking me up with this video.

Canada, but this time we are staying

We have always loved Canada, especially after we visited Toronto last year. It is a beautiful city with a lot of green parks and big lakes surrounding it. My husband had already been thinking about further studies and found the right study in Toronto. Since we liked the city and country so much, we'd decided to take the opportunity and move to Canada for a longer time.

We will move in August, but before that we still have a lot of preparation to do. We just applied for our visas, are looking for an apartment and I am searching for jobs.

This blog will be our travel diary, where you can read about how life in Toronto and Canada is.
