Time flyes!



So many days it feels I have not wrote here. So many things have happened. At the moment Im already in Linz, Austria. I tried first time hichiking abroad. I was afraid it will not maybe work. I took last metro stop as far possible from city and before trying my luck ate kebab. I went to local bus stop and started there....after 5 minutes I tought it will never work out. So I made a paper with Linz and tryed again...and deem it was sucessful 2 minutes and brand new Audi picked me up. So my trip was really fast 150-170 avarage speed and had a good talk with couple in car as well who where around 30's.

In Vienna Saturday got a bit crazy....I went out with my host and her friedns. First some drinks on Julia's place and then club. Omq entrence 15eur but I tought this trip is fun and work so its ok. About beer prices 3.5 eur. Not that cheap at all :P But I had fun with them and next morning hangover so packing my luggage to leave next city was very complicated! In this moment I didnt want ot think about it! (but everything went super)
Now Im in Linz....with other 5 people in apartment. Really cool people...today we will go out becouse its university starting party. They gave me own big room and double bed...Im soo lucly! And mattress is super...I sleep so long all the time on it...best bed!
About my work...Linz is so small compearing with Vienna its crazy 200 000 is small :D
So I made a lot of balloon animals for children and made most of my living here out of that.

Till now everything has been really nice about my trip and thank you friends who supported me before going on my trip!

First experiences!

Sunday was my first "working day"...Deem I was afraid to leave a house. With my clown costume on...taking metro walking on streets. I got a lot of eyes on me...I still do!!!
Sometimes I feel its too much attetion to me...I enjoy it but not exactly like this. Today it was funny day, two people wanted photo of me in metro...and if I performed some people come only for photo. :) What was awsome in Monaday that I was invited to child birtday party. One cool mom asked can I came next sunday but then Im not here any more and finally she called before I was in my host place and I got back ot metro and found birtday place. Altough there was only 3 children but 15 adult so I made show for both of them. They seemed to entertained :) I even got piece of birtday cake and really enjoyed myself there. That is what I would like to do...make shows, people appricate it more I think and ten you have a preparation time and some relxation time as well....not 4-5h work as clown.
So who are my main "clients" parents with children...mostly no other people, sometimes somebody comes for photo or stays to see trick but not so much.
What is most difficult...finding a good spot to perform. Becouse in this business location is most important...more important than in a real estate ;) And sometimes if you think you will stant same place where yesterday...then somebady is already there. And walking around with clown costume in middle of old town I still dont feel comfortable :P Perforiming is other thing!
What gives me energy and is positive. If I see children happy faces or people smiling back to me. Then I direclty see how I influence people around me. Specially with magic wow effect is cool to see.
So far best trick what works and is fast without no set up is cups and balls. That was a good buy :) As well thumbtip...but that I perform when I a bit more people looking me.

Now Im really tired...working as clown is much more difficult than I tought. 4-5h is max what Im able for and then I feel like I worked 12hours.

Aaa...yesterday I went out with my hosts and their friends....met some cool people. I had few beers at apartment one on the way and two at bar. So about beer prices...in shop its cheaper than in Estonia....65cents avarage beer...on the way bought from Kiosk it was 1.80 and on bar 3.80 In bar I told to my host friends that I will tell if you buy me a drink I will show you how its done, tell you secret. Before I made few easy tricks! So I got one beer bought to me :)

Goodnight from lovely Vienna...where weather is still perfect! :)

Life in Vienna



This trip already has been already worth coming! Vienna is so so NICE altough I discovered it only today but more I will see after some days. And weather it can not be more perfect. I came from Estonia where its kind of 24h light rain, cold, terrible autumn. And now I enjoy wearing shorts and T-shirt at 8pm how awsome is that?!!
And to mention my host...Im the luckyest person to find her :) Seriously. Great apartment close to city center...she offers me help and a beer. Its my first experinece by couchsurfing so far I would reccomend that to everybody.
Today Im really tired walked a lot and was 2 hours a clown as well. And probably not totally rested from bus trip.
But most important I feel good, great! And I think its most important, like some of my friends say not destination but journay is important. They are so true!


Here is photo from street of Vienna!

My 34h trip to Vienna

That was my longes bus trip ever 34h in bus. Luckily I was seated last row so I could lay down half of the time and strech my legs. Altough durin night time there was strage older guy next to me so sleeping was difficult. To get better sleep I ordered beer what costs 1.5EUR in bus. During all trip they showed 2 movies animations. (like it was children bus) and of course in Russian. I asked about English movies to but on there was none! :( And there was no plug ins as well that I could use my laptop. In general wasnt so bad I just missed talking with somebody. You could say that bus was full of people...mostly it was but I didnt find my age peolpe who spoke English. In slovakkia I tought why Merit left from there and came to Estonia...weather there was perfect and country seemed so nice as well.
When I fiannly arrived to Vienna it was 9pm. and I had to find Johnstrabe. Next to this metr

Deem I felt good after long bus trip and being safe and having a bed :)
Here is all stuff what I had to

Hoping to find my way till Portugal and back to Estonia!


My big plan is travel from Estonia to Portugal, useing no air transport. And traveling city/town by city. Lets see how far can I go and how long time will it take.
Im not putting myself timeframes...I will just try to enjoy myself and of course challange myself. Getting out of my comfort zone and moveing every week to new places what might not be easy. Let's see how I can handle langages what I dont understand, different cultures, people etc.
Why Portugal...its farest point where I can travel by land in Europ and I know that friends will welcome me there. And as it gets colder and colder traveling to south makes more point! :)

Will I came back to Estonia or I will find my treasure somewhere?
