A new beginning: Sunny Beach

Preamble: 
The last 8 years of my life I have been a girlfriend, a student and a responsible daughter... I always acted like everybody wanted me to act...I always had a program and a backup plan... Have a boyfriend, move to Finland, find a job, pass the test for the university, study, study more, work, graduate... Don't misunderstand me.... I don't regret anything of what I did in my life. Ofc I was happy but something was missing! I was living with someone, cooking for someone, taking care of someone, studying a lot and having good results, all good things but...Did I had fun? Did I put myself as a priority? I don't know... I don't think so...Than I graduated and something happened, I didn't have a goal anymore, not a program for my life... And it was panic! I started to think about my life and what I want to do before settle down and I made choices...difficult ones actually...I broke up, I left my job and I started guidelife... and than? Than SB happened :D In Sunny Beach nobody knew the old me! I wasn't just someone girlfriend, I wasn't  just a student, I was a cool single tour guide and I had the possibility to just let go and try to live without a plan, go with the flow... CARPE DIEM! And it's exactly how I lived SB... It's how I will remember this place... A new beginning.... and it feels so good :)

How it started:
When I came back from Cyprus I had 10 days to mentally prepare myself for working in Sunny Beach. I wasn't so negative about it anymore but... I did one mistake. I started watching an english Tv- program "What happens in Sunny Beach". If you don't know about this program, just watch it and you will understand why I was so worried after I saw it :D
                                   Just watching the first 10sec of the video will give you and idea :D



Arrival:


Let's be honest... All those who go to SB for holidays have this face when they arrive. Is not that you don't know how your vacation in SB will be. SB=Party&Alcohol. Everybody knows it. But what I didn't know by than was that that face will also be my face after a while there :D

First days:
My colleagues will maybe not believe this but the first month in SB was not easy.... I liked the place and the colleagues where nice but I spent my free time alone in my hotel room because I didn't really connect with anyone in my group... Than there was also another problem... In this company there is always more swedish and danish guides than finnish ones and when you go out together everybody will just speak in Swedish...not because they are mean but  they just forgot that you don't speak theirs languages.... so sometimes you feel an outsider... after a while you just have the courage to say " hey peeps english, NOW" but at the beginning, especially the first season when everything is new, you don't dare because you feel like they just don't want to talk with you... So if new guides are reading this blog, if you have the same problem (and you will have for sure :D) just remember them to speak in english and they will do it ;)
After a month I felt already home, I had routines at work and I felt like everything was in the right place.... Also two amazing people took place into my heart... two swedish sweeties: Sandras  <3
                If  I love Sunny Beach it´s just because I love every moment I spent there with you girls <3

The work:
The work in Sunny Beach was fun :) You work more as GOL that means guideonline. You answer the phone, the emails and the sms. I did also airport, had service in our service centre and had excursions to the wine cellar in Pomorie and the evening one in Erkech :) For the finnish guides is more quite comparing to the swedish and danish but still, you learn a lot :) It´s a good first destination  :)


Free time: 
Omg where should I start with this!!  Sunny Beach was party and I was the party queen!!!!! :P

Pub Crawl, NeoSplashParty, BoatParty, FoamParty, BeachParty and so many nights out in our favourite place....
                                                          DEN GLADE VIKING <3 
DGV was ours (me and Sandra) second home! Gosh we love that place! All the good memories ( and not just memories :P ) are from there!!! The best bartenders? In Viking!! The best music? In Viking! The best drink? Also in Viking... HOCKEY <3 Try it and fall in love  :D And remember YOU DON'T DRINK HOCKEY FROM A GLASS! YOU DRINK IT FROM THE BUCKET!!! :D




 There is so many things that I can tell you about Sunny Beach but I thing that this is all for now :)
