Looks like I'm moving to Helsinki in April. Well, hopefully. Definitely travelling there for at least 3 months if not more. Applying for jobs like crazy. Will be doing Berlin, Leipzig, Edinburgh and New York before the year's out, but Helsinki's home base.
Why Helsinki? I haven't been there yet but I have been to Turku in the summer (which is awesome as the sun hardly sets!).
Yeah, I have been quiet on LJ - I rarely have time for a good ol' LJ rant like I used to :) Or perhaps, there is not much to rant about. Hmmm... But I do use facebook quite a bit to upload photos from all my adventures :)
Helsinki because a). Finland sounds unexpectedly lovely in a lot of different ways, and b). I've started seeing a girl who lives there and we want to take a shot at making it work. The aim is to get a job over there so I can stay put.
I know what you mean about time. Jesus.
For now I'm still in Melbourne, but I don't know if I can afford it for much longer. Rent here is insane. Absolutely insane. Unless I (or most people i know) want to share a place with other people there's no choice but to move at least 30kms out. Helsinki will actually be easier and better. Plus I get to learn Suomi.
Soooooo looking forward to adventures, my God. As soon as I get over there we're headed to Berlin for a week, then Wave Gotik Treffen in Leipzig, then back to Finland to spend a month working on a farm. Then the Edinburgh Comedy Festival, then a week or two in New York. For starters, if I have any luck.
Finland sounds like a fun adventure :) Isn't it quite expensive though? I know Norway is, can't remember Turku as it was a work thing (all expenses paid wOOt!).
Who knows - we may be living in Edinburgh when the festival is on...

Glad you're still in one piece. :)
