After I finished my 1-year lasting civil service for the government at the Helsinki University (this is something we must do in Finland if one is not willing to do the military-service. The 3rd option being: spend your time in jail or otherwise released from the service), I started to work for about 2 months as a cabdriver for my dad at my hometown and filled in my savings that I required for the travels. Before this I was studying for about 5 years continuously completing the "double degree" on audiovisual -communication studies in vocational school and high school at the same time.
