If you see a redhead backpacker with a beat-up Olympus holding the map upside down, that’s probably me. To my mum’s utmost horror, I’ve been on and off the road since 2012 and can’t seem to stop. I’m Finnish and always searching for the perfect lipstick as well as a place to call home.
wayfarover is a blog dedicated to narratives about places foreign and familiar, doomed holiday romances, ethical globetrotting and off the beaten path solo adventures.

LET GO OF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT READY TO LOVE YOU LET GO OF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT READY TO LOVE YOU.
🎉
Every New Year's, you should read the post "Next Year, Let Go Of The People Who Aren’t Ready To Love You" by Brianna Wiest (seriously, google it!)

"Stop having hard conversations with people who don’t want to change. Stop showing up for people who are indifferent about your presence. Stop prioritizing people who make you an option. Stop loving people who aren’t ready to love you."

It's scary to let go of a person you have spent so much time knowing; now all that trivia that built the base of your friendship or relationship is as useless as an ice-cube maker in an igloo.

I've spent so much time waiting for people to show up for me, refusing to believe that they wouldn't. But you can't keep giving your energy to people who don't want it.

In 2021, stop accepting the love you think you deserve and find people who remember your birthday, who cry with you in the kitchen, who encourage you to jump off the boat when you're scared of the waves - both literally and metaphorically.

Happy New Year!

WHAT'S NEXT? . I sometimes dread the moment the wo WHAT'S NEXT?
.
I sometimes dread the moment the world starts to spin again. I was getting comfortable getting stuck in time; now we are slowly heading towards old normal, and it's going to be a reverse culture shock getting back used to it.

I had started making travel plans for the first time in months and I was so excited, and then this new strand hit and I thought, oh, maybe I will be in Bali for another year, and maybe that's a great thing.

Bali is already starting to get busy again. My friends are planning their trips home, to other countries, away. The year is coming to an end and I have no clue what's standing on the other side.

I'm glad that there is light at the end of the tunnel, but a part of me is a little nervous to see what things will be like after all this.

Does anyone feel the same? Are you already making plans for 2021 or waiting to see what happens?

HOMESICKNESS. . I wrote this in 2012 right after g HOMESICKNESS.
.
I wrote this in 2012 right after getting home from Australia, my first backpacking trip. Seems fitting for a year when travel's been on hold, too.
🧭🌐
People told me it would strike me sideways in the face when I least expected it. Homesickness - I could not flee from it, they said. It would be a wistful wish that I, instead of being 12,000 kilometres away from my old humdrum dullness, would be back in a town I had grown up to hate.

I used to wake up in the middle of the night like they do in movies, jumping up and clutching the cool sheets, disoriented. Instead of ghosts and demons, I had nightmares of being back home with no way to get back here. There was still so much to see!

The first morning after really returning, I opened up my eyes and stared at the ceiling and let the weight of being back sink in. I had an intense feeling that I should go back to sleep - as if I wasn't yet prepared for this. My backpack was ripped apart all over the floor. I never knew you could carry that many things on your back.

Oh, how I longed to be away again.

PINTS&GLASSES. 🍺🍷 The worst thing I did this PINTS&GLASSES.
🍺🍷
The worst thing I did this year was get addicted to TikTok. yolo 🤷‍♀️ I did see this amazing analogy about relationships on there, though, and I have told everyone I know about it because WISDOM.

So let's divide people into pint people and glass people. A pint, filled to the brim, overflows the glass if all the water is poured into it; similarly, a full glass of water can ever only fill the pint halfway through.

In a relationship, a pint person can easily overwhelm a glass person with all their love and affection. And a glass person, even if they give their partner everything they have, can never quite match the needs of the pint person.

Does this mean that pint people and glass people shouldn't date? Or does it maybe just mean that expectations need to be adjusted and the other person's love style acknowledged? I don't know. I've been manouvering these waters a lot this year, trying to manage my hurt when a new relationship hasn't quite given me everything I expected, and finding reasons to why those relationships eventually failed.

Anyway. What do you think of the metaphor? Are you a pint or a glass person? I am a pint person through and through unfortunately 🤓

LIFE MORE TROPICAL. 🌴 Growing up in Finland, I LIFE MORE TROPICAL.
🌴
Growing up in Finland, I craved to live somewhere permanently warm. The four supposedly distinct seasons seemed to just bleed into the cold one: spring full of mud and rain from melting snow, autumn chilly and windy just expecting winter. 

Here the passage of time is not recorded by seasons but by rain and wind; during what I am used to calling the summer, the Balinese build gigantic kites to deliver praise to their gods, and the rest of the year - most of it - torrential rain pours down at night, flooding the streets and soaking the earth to soul and bones.

But it is beautiful. The rain only comes in brief bursts, later followed by embracing humidity. The smell of rain never lingers too long, as if its presence had just been a dream to interrupt the soft tropical heat. At night, I walk between beaches in pitch blackness and look at the stars that dot the upside-down sky. 

It has been months since I've seen the skies of my homeland but as I know that the days there are growing darker and colder, I feel grateful for the sand between my toes, the wet seat of the scooter, the red lips of the sun on my skin.

Accidentally, I have made this place a home, and this new love for my current footing stands still a little more stubbornly.

Are you a summer or a winter person?
