Say what?

Exactly one month ago, I was sitting at the airport in Helsinki, waiting for my flight, exited and scared at the same time, full of thoughts about this new adventure in LPA ... and now?I have been here already 1 month! SAY WHT??I can not believe it!Time has gone so fast and  I really feel like home here!!! Gran Canaria is different of wht I thought it will be... in a good way ofc...A lot to see, nice colleagues and you can actually live a normal life here...Cook, go to the gym, go out, see a movie...I have actually been thinking that Gran Canaria will be a very nice place to live in. I could easily move here...I just need to find a job and a spanish man :D 
Sandra will kill me for wht I´m about to say BUT I think I found a touch of Sunny Beach here this week!!heh If you just want, you can party ALMOST as crazy as in Sunny! :D And I did...ou jeah I did...Let´s just say that it´s good I don´t remember half of the night!! :D  
But ok, like I said, I like LPA but still, is nothing compared to BOJ :D This week I was looking at  my BOJ photos and I found this one! I almost started to cry! We had an amazing season in Bulgaria and I really miss Sandra and our nights out! :( 

I think you can just feel my happiness from this message... We actually have been thinking to apply again for BOJ S15 :D But there is a lot of things we need to think about!
Like for example:
- We don´t want to ruin our memories of last summer
- I just started to work out again...In SB? Not possible 
- I´m maybe already to old for SB? :D 
But let´s see :D
------------------
Work has been hard but very very very nice!!! I just love it!!! It´s busy but challenging and it was just wht I needed!!You don´t even have the time to watch your clock!You sit at 7:45 and next time you breathe and look at the time is already 17!!The days go very fast because I have finally something to do and to learn!And the service phone? Oooh here it ring every night :D Yes, also the Finnish one :D Is sooooo true when they say that after Guide Online LPA you can manage everything and, in my opinion, not just in the Tui´s world but you learn stuff that will help you in life and in future jobs with other companies!! We also have a good team and it helps a lot... when you are busy and stressed the team spirit is the thing that help you going and make it until the end of the day! 
This weeks we also studied two very nice excursions! Jeep&Camel safari and Garbos show! The excursions here are so nice and you really want to sell it to the guest to give them a nice experience and beautiful memories of this island :)

--------------
Here in my freetime I´m trying to do as much as I can! I work out at least 2 times a week and yesterday I finally went to the pool! First time I´m swimming and sunbathing here woop woop! I´m thinking about to go diving and surfing in the next months and also I´m planning my week-end trip to Tenerife to see my loves!!!!! <3

I also got my vacation days 8/2 - 22/2!!! Woop Woop! Soon I will start to plan my trip to THAILAND <3

Wht about my life with my roomies? Mmm is not easy  :D but still, I´m very happy to live with them also if sometimes they do staff like this....
Yes, that´s Kasper... 
Yes, that´s my bed...
Yes, that´s my macbook air...
Yes, he is wearing  my glasses... 
NO, I did NOT tell him to do it!!! :D
-----------
New week is about to start with new adventures,  new person to meet and new feelings to try!!! 
So I think I will start my week thinking like this!!! 

HASTA LUEGO!

Studytime is over!!!!!

This second week in this island has been better than the first... New people came and we visited so many beautiful places like Puerto Rico, Playa de Amadores and Puerto de Mogán! <3 If you ever come to Gran Canaria these are the places to see :) Especially Puerto de Mogán! There is a lot of local people there and a very special atmosphere that I can not describe in words :) <3 Just lovely!

But studytime in Gran Canaria is over now and yesterday was time for my first day of work in this island!! The first Finnish flight landed around 12 and tomorrow we will have the second arrival and next week???! 7 more flights woop woop! So exited!! A little bit different than in Sunny Beach where we had 1 flight/week:D In these two days I did and learned more than in 3 weeks in SB :D ofc I still don't know a lot of things but I just need to give myself some time...I will learn everything, no stress :) And the colleagues and the managers are so good and nice that you can always count on them :) That´s just perfect in this kind of job! :)
My roomies are now here so I'm not living alone anymore! :D For now everything is good! They are good guys a little bit messy maybe but they are guys soooo nothing you can do about it :D Kasper has bring the PS3 with him from home so they spent a lot of time just playing FIFA while I can watch movies and tv-series and have time by myself, and relax!sooo nice :D

 Yesterday they had a boys night out so I just took my wine and went to casa the guias with Rosa :D When I came home the boys where gone and the apartment was a mess! But since I´m very nice, I clean up everything so the boys could have a nice hungover day today without the need to clean :) Kasper came home around 4AM and he was sooo drunk! haha He came into my room and hide under the bed and said staff like "Look Elina, I´m invisible" !! :D I was almost dying for laughing so much :D


Fit season started well!! I'm so proud of myself :D I also have a good PT! :p I'm going with Kasper to the gym so he can learn me some exercises :) It will be good for me training with him but during the season will be almost impossible!I´m also eating quite healthy but sometimes is good to reward yourself with something good right? So I have been eating a little bit of candies, I tried a very good Nestea and Froyo with nutella :D!! Nam nam! :P


Today we visited Palmitos Park before my GuideOnline shift :) It was sooo nice! Love the dolphines!!!! <3



Tonight and tomorrow I´m having the servicephone so...
 wish me luck :D

Gran Canaria: First impressions

Hola a todos!
I´m finally in Gran Canaria woop woop! I have been here already a week!! It´s crazy how time goes fast! The trip was loooooong! From Helsinki to Stockholm, from Stockholm to Copenhagen and from Copenhagen 5h 30min to Las Palmas! The flight was also 45min late but fortunately the trip went fast. I had my new mac book air with me so I watched The Big Bang Theory for 5 hours :D
My manager came  to pick me up at the airport and all my luggage arrived in LPA jippii :) During the car drive she told me that I will live with Kasper and another danish guy woop woop! Is me and the danish guys this winter! :D  She also told me I will live in Kentya and that is just 5 min walking from the office! Nice! I knew that the apartments here are better than of what we were used to in Sunny Beach but... OMG! When I saw the apartment  :O



Everything is new!! The beds, the kitchen the toilets!! We have washing machines and also a dryer!! Awesome!! And my room... ooooh is sooo nice! I bought candles and new sheets from Ikea and when I got my new salary I will buy something more just  to make it more cozy! <3


                                                    ---------
This island is huge and there is a lot to know comparing to SB! I have been here a week but I still feel like I don´t know anything! I´m  kind of lost and my mind is still in Sunny Beach for some reason! Hope is normal :S  I´m a little bit scared because learning stuffs in SB was quick and easy! It´s gonna take time here but I hope I will soon fit in this place and in my new team :) It´s always hard at the beginning I guess... I really miss my friends and colleagues from SB! Here you need to start all over again and sometimes I feel just like I don´t have the strength to do it! But soon or later everything will be in the right place... or I really hope so :) And Mr. Sørensen is coming on Friday so I will have a piece of SB with me!





Saturday we had our first night out!! It was fun and different :D No disco and no buckets just tapas and sangria in Pica Pica and after that karaoke time in an Irish Pub :D But it was really nice, the night went so fast and TG I had a day off on Sunday :D Goodbye hungover-free nights! That was possible just in Sunny Beach <3 :D
Monday I also started my new healthy life!! I bought a gym card and I started to eat better! My legs are still hurting after the first work-out! I really am in a bad shape! I hope I´m able to go the the gym tomorrow :D



 I must say that for now, everything looks pretty good and I really hope thing will go just better and better :)

Hasta luego!!
