Half an year in Sweden!

It has been 6 months since I came to Sweden! Yes, that much!! When I got here I couldn't think how would I survive here for this much time, but I did.

I have had many thoughts about it and I've felt great here and as bad as I could be. Changing school, sport, life and friends is not something easy to do in life, but that's how you search for a better life.

I'm loving my new school, having lessons in english gives me opportunities everywhere around the world. My classmates are great and the fact that we are from 15 different countries has only made it even better.

The training has been hard and adapt to this new conditions was difficult in the beginning. My brother's fellowship has been great and together we are training very hard every day.

I've had some competitions that went pretty well and I'm looking forward for some more.

Life here has been very varied, visiting new places, meeting very different people and tasting swedish food (not nice to eat).
Here are some pictures that describe my time line in sweden:

 My new place to live...


Getting here in the summer for some first "discovery" bike rides
 WTS Stockholm a unique experience with the best in the world competing













The cold autumn got here and the colors look gorgeous!
The First snow arrived in October

Enjoying the Höst lov in Helsinki with my dad
In November I had my first triathlon competition and victory in Sweden









The training kept hard, while the sun was shining but the temperature was low.














Enjoying the last cycling tours before the snow threw us down to the spinning







Getting use to long swimming sessions was hard...

















 And the first trainings in the real snow, -10°!!
Coming back home on Christmas time to kill all these: "Saudades"
A special day: 17th of January when I finally got age to go to high school in Sweden :)
Spending it in London just made it perfect!


 Going in the coldest study visit to Stockholm with my classmates.
And the day that snowed so much that cycling home was impossible! It was a very cold and funny experience.
