Hi!
This is my
first post at the blog and I was planning to introduce myself. So in this post
you will read a little about me and my time here in America so far. Enjoy your
reading!
The basics:
My full name is Melina but my friends just call me Mila. I was born 4th
of November 1995, in Sweden. After eighteen
years living in the same country, city and house, I felt ready to explore more
parts of the world. I love to travel; I can never get too much of experience
and memories! So far I have been in 21 countries, mostly just in Europe. Euro
trips is me and my family’s favorite way to travel, it is just to pack the car with
some necessary things and then you are ready to drive around in Europe wherever
you feel like going, if you never done that, I would really recommend you to
put that on your bucket list.
Other fun
random facts about myself:
I love sushi, and American pizza. I love skiing and tennis, have done both of
these sports my whole life. Sport is my thing I think, probably just because of
my time growing up. I have an older brother that always brought me with him wherever
he goes, so I have spent a lot of time together with him and his friends playing
different sports as basketball, soccer, and floor ball. Fall/Christmas is my
favorite time of the year because everything is so cozy, calm and beautiful.
But I think I love all the different times of the year, rain, sun, snow, whatever.
My time in
America so far:
Eight months ago, I left Sweden and started my adventure in America, in Estes
Park, Colorado. But after one and a half month in that beautiful village, we
had a natural disaster (flood) and I moved to Steamboat Springs, where I now
lived for six and a half months. I love both of these places, each place has
their own positive sides. Both of the places are beautiful and full of
possibilities to hike and explore the nature. But Steamboat has the skiing,
which I am really thankful and happy for.
So far I
have done a lot, which makes it hard to put it down to just words. So I was
thinking to give you a summary both in pictures and words below.
