Someone once told me..

Someone once told me that when paradise becomes home it’s time to leave.
That’s kind of hard when you really don’t want to. Paradise changing shape and becomes your life. Every day is a party. Every day is vacation. And every day you think that today is the day you actually gonna do something.

Back home there’s always something you need to do, always a deadline, always someone you need to meet. The only thing you need to do here is to decide what to eat, where to sit and when to take a shower. It’s a lazy life. It’s a brilliant life.
But if this was everyday life back home I would shoot myself. Today I woke up tasting like an ashtray in my mouth, with a head as big as a pumpkin and a face looking like a dead person. This is not healthy. This is not paradise.

But what can you do? You keep on going. You keep deciding what to eat, where to sit and you take about four more showers than you usually do. And maybe… just maybe you actually go to the beach.
Paradise is my home and it’s time to leave. It’s time to grow up and start doing stuff. Hahaha,, Never!
I hate stuff!

Remember.. I am Charlie. I am the manchild refusing to grow up. Life is a bitch and I just fell in love with her. Keep r ocking that hula-hoop!

2592000 Seconds

A month is 30 days, 720 hours, 43200 minutes or 2592000 seconds. About a third of all those minutes and seconds you’re either asleep or have no idea of what you’re doing.
I’m in Thailand for a month. I’m in Thailand for one and a half week more.

I’m in Thailand for another 15840 minutes and I don’t know where all my time went.

Where did my minutes go? People say time flies by when you are having fun. I have loads of fun. But still.. I need more minutes.
Coming to Koh Chang again is amazing. It’s like coming home. It’s 30 degrees, the sun is shining and the water is warm. And you actually don’t need to do anything.
We did go to Klong Plu waterfalls, went to the Grand Lagoona and had bbq brunch at a friend’s house. And I did burn my nose. I do stuff, but I don’t need to.

In a way I miss home. I miss my friends. I miss my job and I miss my apartment. I miss all those small things you don’t think about when you’re actually back home living it. But home is always there.

When I leave Koh Chang it’s going to be a whole year of missing something you don’t know if you’re coming back to. I’m gonna miss all those people you’ll never see again. The people that became your family a few weeks in paradise. The people you keep mailing telling them you’re going to visit them.

And all you have back home is a red nose, peeling skin and a bunch of out of focus pictures of you and you’re family drinking a bucket with five straws and a happy smile.
It’s strange to be going home. It’s strange not to be at home. It’s a really annoying thing to have a red nose.

Once I fell in love with this island. I’m falling in love again. But in one and a half week I’m going to fall in love with Gothenburg again. My nose is going to be normal and I’ll be texting my family on the Face. But until then..
I’m gonna keep doing nothing. Keep riding my bike. Keep sunscreening my red nose and keep falling in love with Koh Chang.

Life is a filthy whore and I just paid her of. I am Charlie! I am living the life. I am the rednosed motherfucker in the land of buckets and sunshine.

Helsinki Disturbia

Im suffering from a major hangover!

Turning 27 was a bucket party I to much enjoyed. Im finally back in Thailand. Strangely enough I still think about home and work.

I will make one thing clear for everyone. If you ever plan to go travel. Dont go to Helsinki airport. Not a good place to spend 9 hours alone. Not even 5 hours alone. The big bkk is a blast even when you walking the streets by yourself. But sitting on a airport doesnt give you much to do.

I love it here. I love the sea. I just have to learn not to dive in those qute little buckets.

Its raining and I think Im gonna watch an entire season of Gossip girl. Can you blame me? I still have 3 weeks left in paradise. I dont need to go to the beach today. I dont need to do anything.

Im just gonna kick back and picture my 10 hours in Helsinki airport on my way home.

I am Charlie. Im the vacation whore loving life. I am a screaming hangover from hell!
