"Reality Strikes"

A close girlfriend of mine came for a week's visit not long ago. Someone I studied with for 3 years 8 or so years back. A time in my life where all I wanted was to pack my bags and leave. A stage in life where I had to force myself to leave my apartment only to sit for hours and hours of the day listening to an old tired teacher telling me what I need to know to survive in this world.

I hated it.

I saw it as a waste of time, waste of energy and waste of life, to be honest.
I know you will probably get far if not only further with the right papers, diplomas ect. However, that is not the kind of teaching I wish for, nor is it something I see myself in need of learning. I like to learn by doing through living, and this will come to me naturally. Either by traveling, sucking in a new culture, meeting new individuals who are either more well-traveled than myself or people who see life in a differet perspective. Someone that can stimulate my thinking and question what I see a need to.

I haven't spend much time in my homecountry for about 6 years now. I honestly do not miss it, nor have I ever missed it. Family and friends, people who are very dear to me are also people I know I will see under other circumstances.
Friends come to visit often. Even last year I was so lucky one of my brothers and his girlfriend decided to have a peak at my life in Tel Aviv. Something that meant the world to me. The fact that they absolutely adored and fell inlove with the place was just the icing of the cake.

It's been quite a while since a friend from home has paid me a visit overseas. When she heard I was only 5 hours planeflight from her, she packed her bags and came down for a week of "Scandinavian Winter Rehabiliation" in the Canaries.
I LOVE when people show an interest in the way I decided to live life. A love that grows when it is well-respected of same.

As I picked my friend up in the airport with butterflies in my belly, knowing it's been more than 6 months since I last saw her, I was overly excited. This would be the first visit she has ever paid me outside of our country. The thought of being able to show her life onboard stumbled around in me with pure gratefulness.

The first 24 hours I felt a little torned.
Seeing, feeling and hearing her within my presence was a little weird. In one way I felt as though I was back home, something that followed me with feelings connected by the country, my childhood and that exact stage of life then. Yet again, knowing and constantly feeling my life had lead me elsewhere again, I felt calm, appreciative and most happy about the present. At home I would be wildering around, living amongst the citizens, safely and well-respected. Life in present gave me a boat with great people, my puppy and the ocean as a daily sight.

As the days went past I got more and more used to seeing her face amongst the new ones. She beautifully and clamly blended in. As she left, she was missed and the days once again took a turn back to "normality".

"Normality" as it is onboard;

A run in the morning, coffee and brekky on deck, followed by a busy pen in hand. Socialise with common sailors, get to know new people as well as saying bye to "old". Discussing wind and weather for next trip, fixing what needs to get fixed are the tasks of my present "normality".
Not a bad place to be.

Visits from home truly count. They are what makes me feel that little inch happier. The fact that people are curious, excited or just in need of a holiday, is something that just makes it that tiny bit easier not to loose contact, nor to feel out of reach with one another.

For whoever wish to join for holiday will bring a certain type of feeling with them. Something I can only love; it gives me new thoughts, new stimulations and more to write about, think about and socialise about.

Life as it is now, is more than I can ask for.

Thank You

Wups, I did it again!

I managed to do it again.

Do exactly what I have done, and for some reason is my passion to do, for almost 6 years now.

I broke my plans.

My whole life I have been the sort of person that loves, and by love I mean deeply love writing down ALL my plans. Plans to every single detail. I would put this piece, or pieces of paper on my wall, spending weeks reading it over and over again and even adding to it. It would be plans that would cover all fields of life; living situation, education, travel-destinations, love, clothes ect. I always tend to amaze people with the determination of completing and going for what I wanted.

" Wow, that girl really got something going for her." would be the words I eavesdropped on when the topic was set on me.

However, I never did turn out the girl they thought I was. Never did I outlive the plans and goals I had then. What I think I merely did, was to dissapoint people when not turning out to be this "determined individual who will make a difference in life".


BUT. A big fat BUT.

I am happy. And truly, honestly and boldly; that is all that matters.

I have constantly broken my plans. So often I stopped telling people about them, cause I knew I would have to put myself in reverse and change my sayings. You never know what will pop up in life (read previous blog " And Im back in the game").


The most beautiful things, episodes, experiences and people show up when you least expect it. They will never be on a list. Nor will they come if you did type them down when being a young girl.
When being open to change; change will happen. When being open to love; love will happen. All this and more, when you keep your spirit free and go with the flow of life.


Yes. With this life-style I cannot "save the world" nor do I tend to. Nor do I wish to. I truly believe when you are deeply happy, that's when you can make people smile. Doing what you "should, could, would" will only benefit others. Doing what makes YOU happy, smile, love and live life the way you wish; that's what will expand your horizon and be worth while. And something I see everyone in your life odd to accept. If there is no accept to reach, at least respect the choices an individual makes. This is where you will make a significant change in people's lives. You might even be inspirational to others; friends, family and even strangers. That is beautiful and uplifting to me.

So I changed my plans, again.

Whether I changed it for love, a different adventure or just for the sake of change will always be the questions I will be asked. The answer will always be my own. However, I will share one day when I'm ready.


I am currently sitting on my new boat's deck. Enjoying the freedom to write what comes to mind, loving the peace and quiet and sucking in all the knowlegde I can learn from my new "partners in crime". Anyhow, life on this beautiful Danish 46 feet catamaran will take me places in mind and body, I never thought were possible.

Final destination; unknown - in every possible way.

Just the way I like it.

Love will take you places you never thought were possible. One just gotta stay open to new options in life and take in what may come to you. Just significantly beautiful!

Making a difference in life will be well-considered and thought of with a constant stream of motivation. If only I could make a difference in one person's life, I would rest easy and be satisfied to the limit!


That will, no doubt happen one fine day. Till then, I will enjoy my new love and somewhat new life-style.
