Casa Grande.

I'm somewhere in Arizona.

Apparently Casa Grande.

We left L.A. 

Back on the open road. 

2 of us.

And 3 dogs.

We decided to sleep.

After a 10 hour drive.

And this is where we ended up.

Tomorrow's destination. 

Roswell.

Maybe Ufo's capture us.

And realize they don't need us for nothing. 

We are heading towards Dallas.

5 shows to go.

Houston.

Austin.

New Orleans.

Pensacola.

Pensacola, have you even heard of that place?

I hadn't. 

Last nights cuddles.

Our magical garden in L.A.

Our amazing villa.

The view leaving "home".

Be back soon.

PORTLAND.

I´m backstage.
I hear people screaming.
"I LOVE YOU".
I´m in Portland.
I love it here.
I love Seattle too.
And a part of me stayed in Seattle.
We had a good time.
Tomorrow is a day off.
And then 2 shows left for a week.
I have had a horrible day today.
For some reason.
Blood, sweat and tears.
Some days on the road are easier.
Some days are really though.
I am also smoking way too much.
For some reason it feels like a reward.
After working like a maniac.

I´m so inspired though.
I think the future looks pretty bright right now.
I will get shit done.
And work with my own creative projects.
And it makes me really happy.
I can do it.

Philly.

Nyc.
2 hectic shows.
Sold out.
Yesterday New Haven.
Sold out.
Today.
Philadelphia.
Driving back and forth from NYC.
Tomorrow day off.
Can´t wait.
My body is exhausted.
But there´s a lot more to come.

New Haven was great.
My old friend came to the show.
I love seeing familiar faces.
From home.
Reminds me of who I am.
Where I come from.
Brings back a lot of memories.
This particular friend was my ex-boyfriends roommate.
Back in the day.
And we are basically in the same hometown "gang".

Monday it´s off to Boston.
I am happy today.

LATE NIGHTS AND EARLY MORNINGS. 

For some reason we play a lot of churches, I call it The Church Tour.

Day off.

Yesterday was a show day.
It was great.
Went pretty late.
We stayed here in North Carolina.
I had some beers.
First time for this whole adventure.
The evening was filled with deep conversations.
The more I talk about my photography.
The more I understand what my vision is.
And what I´m looking for.
What I want to show people.
What I want people to see.
I went to late to bed.
Woke up.
Walked around.
Felt good.
This is an amazing place.
I walked out.
And heard silence.
Small town charm.

BY THE WAY:
Find me on Flickr.

Fall trails. 

Portraits. 

Work in the local office. 

1 day.

My day in pictures.
Enjoy.

In the office.

In Ponte Vedra Beach.
Florida.
Last night was Atlanta.
We stayed the night.
Drove 6 hours today.
It´s been a good day.
I will drive away from here.
Tonight.
Tomorrow is a day off.
Destination unknown.
We´ll see how far we get until.
Until I need to sleep.
I am filling my stomach with energy shots.
And coffee.  

I love this woman.
I love this picture that I took tonight.
It´s Nico Turner.
Remember her name. 

On the road.

Somewhere in Virginia.

I'm in the passenger seat.

We have a show today.

And we are about 6 hours away.

We've been driving for ages.

And ages.

I'm getting a slight feeling of panic.

I need to work out a lot of things.

I somehow stumbled into a new role.

I'm the tour manager.

I haven't been crowned.

And I don't want the title.

Officially. 

But I am doing everything. 

I have to say.

It comes very natural to me. 

Music City.

See you tonight.

Nashville.

PS. 

Last time I was in Nashville.

I was in a Honky Tonk bar.

Watching people dance.

To this live country band.

An 80-year old man was eyeing me.

He walked over.

Asked me to dance.

I declined.

Now I can dance.

But as a Finnish person.

Country music isn't in my blood.

Bathroom brakes.

In sketchy truck stops.

Take me home.

Country roads.

Amish country.

Right now.

Beautiful.

I will move.

Home again.

Feels weird.

L.A. feels like home.

Was so good to be there. 

I hope I'll move soon.

I got a lot of new friends again.

And met a lot of old friends.

Feeling inspired.

I cut my hair.

And got tattooed.

I'm like a new woman.

I ran into Lady Gaga at the hotel.

I was introduced to Kristen Stewart. 

It's a small town.

Meditating under the full moon.

Miami.

My friend Adrian.

He redid my hair do. 

He's amazing.

One night.

There was a penthouse party.

We danced and admired the view.

West Hollywood.

Visited Levi's showroom.

Got some free gear.

Wen't to Fairfax Flea.

Always cool.

Poland.

Today is my mums birthday.

I love her.

The show here didn't happen.

The stage was not secure.

There was an awesome dj party though.

So spontanious.

So much fun.

Today was a day off.

And the next 3 days are off.

I wen't to the gym today.

That's about it.

All the tv channels are dubbed.

So I wasn't even able to watch tv.

Didn't feel like sightseeing. 

Tomorrow off to Berlin.

And from there after the days off.

Hello Korea. 

I am so excited. 

Yes over Korea.

But other things too.

scchhhh.

Dinner last night.

I got my dance gear on for the party.

My family members.

Today my run was brought to me by Tunturi

Yes.

It's been a really long while.

I am back on the road.

Paris.

London.

Latitude Festival.

And now I'm in my bed in Birmingham.

Tomorrow Poland.

The Asia.

Had to say goodbye to the oh so comfy tourbus.

So sad. 

It was all of our home.

Early flight.

I need to give a proper update.

PS. I am really happy.

Din Din last night in London.

Me & Ali before World War Z.

Latitude Festival was freakin' hot.

Sleep.

I have not been good at updating.

Now I'm in my bunk.

On the bus.

Had a day off in Amsterdam.

Yesterday.

I saw a good friend of mine.

We met in Indonesia.

A couple of years ago.

It was so good to see him again.

We went to see the Black Crowes.

Had dinner with everyone.

And got a little tipsy.

And me and my dance partner and him all got bitten by the dance bug.

Cheesy saying.

Bitten by the dance bug.

Will never use stupid sayings again.

I fell asleep at 3:19.

Today I saw the Van Gogh museum.

And it was a work day. 

After our extravaganza a band.

Trash Talk.

From Cali.

Played at the same venue.

AMAZING.

A sweaty and crazy hardcore show.

Sweet guys.

Cool peeps.

Got the T-shirt. 

Zzzzzzz.

Oh and I saw the Rolling Stones.

At Glastonbury.

And it was not rainy.

But somehow I managed to step in a pile of mud.

So I can say I got the real Glasto experience. 

TRASH TALK. 

MICK JAGGER. 

TENTIN´.

GLASTONBURY.

VAN GOGH. 

TRASH TALK! 

Bus life.

I'm on a bus.

Somewhere in Germany.

On the way to London.

It's been a long day.

Change of bus.

And fixing technical issues.

What was supposed to be a smooth transition.

Turned into 7 long hours.

It's all Limp Bizkits fault.

All I can say. 

I'm sitting on the sexond floor.

Basically I have the same view as the driver.

It's raining.

Wasn't Europe supposed to be hot?

3:20am.

Sometimes you just do not wan´t to go to bed.
You just wan´t to enjoy those moments to yourself.
Do you have that?
No?
I guess you don´t.
But I guess your life is not work 24/7 either.
I met Of Monsters and Men today at the festival.
I love their overly folky music.
A little too much of "LAA-LAA-LAA".
Oh, Oh and "HEY-HEY-HEY".
And what else.
"OOOH-OOOH-OOH".
"And they´re so happy".
I had to tell them that their song "Love, Love, Love" made me cry.
It was a song that just reminded me of my friend.
(And we´re playing a lot of the same festivals as them)
Oh lord.
I´m so emotional now days.
Toughen up, girl.
Anyways.
I miss her.
And someone was amazingly waving the finnish flag.
In the audience.
In Texas.
No Finnish bands were playing.
I guess that´s what we do.
OR.
It was an american who thought it was the Icelandic flag.
Probably.
DISS.
Finnish sisu.
I think I finally understand the meaning of that.
I have it.

Otherwise I would have given up a long time ago. 

GOODNIGHT.
I fly to Miami tomorrow.

Maybe for a day. 

Stars & Stripes & Annikki. Getting sick of it?

Me & A birthday girl backstage
(never saw the festival area).

Saw this at Taco Bell.
Does that give you street cred?

FIREWORKS AT THE FESTIVAL!

The most amazing pizza box. 

SEE IT?!

I´m good at being messy. 

IGGY. Sorry the worst pic.
He rocked so hard someone had to basically carry him to the car.
He just laid down in the car and they took off his shoes for him.
Got to meet the Stooges though.


PS. DID YA´LL (TEXAS STYLE) GO HERE ALREADY?!
Thanks NYT-liite for mentioning me too. 

Ciao South America.

In an hour we are off to the airport.
After Brazil.
Argentina.
Chile.
And Uruguay.
This South American tour is now over.
Off we go.
Back to the states.
Can´t wait for the festivals.
And then "rest" for 10 days.
I miss both Miami.
And home, Finland.
I wish I could take all my close ones with me everywhere I go.
Ok.
Gotta pack.
See you on the other side.

Video. Montevideo.

Hey.
I have been kind of slow on updating.
That happens.
Today is the last show in South America.
Uruguay, Montevideo.
It´s a beautiful place.
It´s been a rough couple of days.
Or last night.
Yesterday we flew in.
And the whole family went to a tiny little bar.
Stayed there for a long time.
Then an ice bar at the hotel.
Kind of felt like home in a weird way.
Enjoy the blurry pictures.
I am still kind of wondering why no one ever comments.
I guess there´s nothing to say.

Next up Nelsonville Festival in Ohio and Free Press Festival in Texas.

Santiago.
Got a Titanic feeling in the hotel. 

Flew over the Andes. 

KARL!

Statue in Montevideo. 

Montevideo.

Graveyard for slot machines at hotel.
We weren´t supposed to be in here.

View from my room at 8am.

Got a new ring, AGAIN.
Uruguay coin from the 80´s.
