I have travelled and lived in many countries. The places I have enjoyed the most have been when I’ve met cool people, many I am still friends with. I’m a magnet for crazy lost souls like me. And they are a magnet for me. Law of attraction right?
Anyways these guys I met in Split, Croatia. Wonder full times. My plan was to travel anonymously and trade cryptos. Well the market crashed and so did my plans.
It was fun being nobody again. Broke and crazy with thunder in my veins. And loins. We drank and partied and mollied and danced like grizzly bears and sang like we were kings of the aliens. And dont get me started on the tap dancer…
Another life. Would go back if i could. Had to leave because things were getting too wild! And the hangovers/comedowns were getting real bad.
You guys are awesome.

‘Twas a strange night. Arrived at my sojourn in montenegro but there were no people anywhere to be seen. Just a bunch cats. Cool cats. Alley cats. And this cat smoking in the corner who called himself Tom. He seemed to be Waiting for someone but never figured out who. He wasn’t much for small talk and to be honest with you dear reader, nor was I. Since i wasn’t in the mood for all this marvelous pussy, I dropped my bags off in my room, went to the loo and became a born again atheist based on what I saw there. I was beginning to wonder if this was a dream but had not yet learned how to break test reality. #montenegro #coolcats #tomwaits #atheism #lostintheworld #balkans #dreamworlds #winsomelosesome
Bologna, Italy (March 2018)
We met in Croatia and decided to meet again and spend a week together in Italy and see what happens. It was romantic, wild and exciting. Polar opposites in every way but also found something of ourselves in each other. Something universal that unites faraway places like Finland and India. Touch. Laughter. Music. Travel. Attraction. Lips. And other parts. Viking beast and Indian princess. Italy. We had some interesting conversations…
I regret not buying that jacket but i just couldn’t afford it. One day.

Florence, Italy (March 2018)
Jesus appeared to me as a dog. Follow me he said. And then i alienated everyone i had ever known, even myself because i just wanted to go where the light took me. An excuse to continue this work. Self doubts creeped in. Nobody cared or understood. Maybe some day they will when i am already doing something else and they will say i sold out.
Feeling secretly relieved.
Never underestimate the power and beauty of an unloved unliked uncommented social media post from some unknown has-been.
Like untrampled snow
Jesus also loved the loveless

Markus is a character i sometimes like to play. #masks #demons #costumes #makeup #personalities #characters #enneagram8 #enneagram2 #enneagram4 #enneagram9 #enneagram7 #enneagram6 #enneagram3 #enneagram1 #enneagram5
All these mask photos are from a shop I discovered in Florence. I was mesmerized. There is something about Italy that really calls for me to go back and explore. The language. The food. The clothes. The history. The women. The art. The men. The streets. The buildings. I wanna stand in the middle of nowhere or maybe writing on a train and in that moment think, is THIS italy? Where is it exactly? And where is it not? Is there such a place?

March 2018. The winter seemed to be following me wherever I went. It was even snowing in Italy. Europe was blanketed with fresh white powder and the trains and other systems were in chaos because they are not built for viking weather. So i decided to fly to Malta but wasn’t feeling it so went to Bucharest, Romania where i met some cool people. The city was decadent and beautiful. I stayed at podstel hostel which was legendary. Fun times until the winter came there also and I fled to Istanbul.
As I reflect on these travels, I miss this way life. Travelling without a destination, meeting people, paying music, walking around in new cities, writing poetry about whatever is going on. Maybe it sounds boring to you but for me it’s thunder and gold.
I am an unparallelled master at appreciating things when they are long gone lonesome blue.

Remember this @bsnyder22 ? We were on a bus from Thessaloniki to Athens. This guy had the worst body odour ever and seemed to insist on flaunting it to his fellow passengers. Wtf? Well, we survived and finally got what we needed. Or at least Brent did. I did too a few days later… heheh #somewhereingreece #longbusrides #yougetwhatyouneed #deodorant #peopleareawesome
Athens, Greece (March 2018)
Travelling in Greece with my pal Brent who i met few months before in Croatia. Thessaloniki, Athens and then with ferry to Crete. I was running out of money so got quite depressed and fell into my precious darkness blackhole despair modes which sucks extra when in sunny paradise and you just wanna disappear. Trading cryptos but not succeeding. So flew back to mainland europe.
Would love to go back to Greece.
Amazing place.

April 2018. Poland, Ukraine, then back to Finland for the summer. Inner voices calling for me to go back to places and people but too many options so easier to go back into the poetry and playing piano. This way you can spread yourself out across the lands and oceans, time travelling through the eras. But every note becomes a haunting memory of a potential life. What if there is another way to live you begin to wonder. Hungry for answers and longing to re-unite with the beloved. #futureplans #timetraveler #writingpoetry #drinkingwine #lookingforanswers Finding none.
