Take off in three days!

Hey guys! :)

Today was my last day at work. As I mentioned earlier, I've been working in a kindergarten, and truth is it was terrible saying goodbye to all those cute faces! It still can't overshine how excited I am that I'm leaving in three days though I did need just a little moment of tears, haha :)

Today is also the day that my snowboards were picked up for shipment! I wasn't home when they picked it up, but my mom says there were some problems, but he brought them with him anyways, so hopefully everything will be alright!

Whistler Blackcomb also just posted this picture on their facebook site:

SNOW HAS FALLEN!!! Which means that my workplace is beginning to look like something, and that I am SO stoked that I will be there next week!!! 

Next week at this time I will probably be sitting in the bar in the Samesun hostel listening to Julia and Andrew from the Working Holiday Club helping all us newcomers through applying for SIN-number, bank accounts and phone plans. They will be at the Samesun from next monday and two weeks ahead helping all us newbies in big scary Vancouver, haha :) 

Oh, and my parents are really beginning to panic about me leaving, and this is the result: 

They took me and my sister out for goodbye-brunch this sunday, which was so nice and really delicous too :)

And well, it doesn't stop there!

Right now my parents are cooking christmas dinner because they won't be able to come visit me for christmas, and I can't go home to visit either. I think it's really cute that they're doing it, and christmas food is so goooood, so I'm excited about dinner tonight ;) 

One of my best friends, Linea, is coming to visit me after dinner and I'm looking forward to seeing her as well :D But I think I'll go help with the christmas cooking now :) 

Thanks for reading!

Preparations and going away party

Hi readers!

So this week has just flown away, and it feels like yesterday I was preparing for my last full week at work. Now it's saturday morning, I haven't really slept well and I gave up after 5 hours of trying.
I'm not sure if it's because it kind of hit me last night. I'm really going!

I had a going-away party last night for my gymnasium class and it was great seeing people again. We laughed and caught up with each other and they all hugged me and told me to have a great time when they left, so I think I'm really beginning to understand that I will be in Canada by this time next week!!

I had made jell-o shots for the guests, which turned out okay! I usually don't really succeed when trying to make them, haha :D They were all gone within an hour so I guess people liked them. I even dared eating two myself! 

 This is my friend eating one of the jell-o shots. Took the picture for proof that they were edible, haha :)

Oh, and two of my friends were so sweet, they gave me a present!!
Stine and Line (also weird danish names ;) ) wanted to give me something that I could bring with me to Canada, so this is what they gave me:
(From the left)
A bag of danish liqourice called Salty Fish. They are so gooood, but appearently only danes like it.
A packet of dip-mix for chips (because we're not sure if Canada will be providing this, so they had to make sure I would have dip if I needed it, haha :D)
The two last bags are spices for some danish christmas cookies. Since Canada doesn't have this and christmas just isn't christmas without these cookies, Stine and Line has made sure I will be able to bake them myself. The cookies are called "Brown cookies" and "Pepper nuts", haha. 

Stine and Line, if you're reading this I want you to know that the present made me very happy. It was very sweet of you, so thank you so much! I will be thinking of you guys with every bite of my present, haha :D Tak! (Thanks in danish)

This week I've also tried to get my things ready. I printed out all of the documents I will be needing and sorted them in a folder. I also finally bought the shipment for my snowboards. They will be picked up on tuesday and then shipped to staff housing in Whistler, who promised that they would store them for me until I arrive - so nice of them. 

I think that now I just need to begin my packing and then my adventure finally begins! Okay, it actually already has begun with all the planning and all the brochures and videos The Working Holiday Club has been sending me the last half year, haha :D

I guess that that was it for now! I think I'm going to start packing my stuff today, yay!
Have a great day everyone :)


Oooh, and Whistler Blackcomb just posted a picture of the peak. SNOW HAS FALLEN!!!

Something about me

Okay, so I was thinking maybe you should get to know me a little!

As I already mentioned my name is Vibe, and it's weird. So weird that once, when someone dared me to change my facebook name into something more inappropriate, Facebook wouldn't let me change it back to Vibe. I guess my name just sends out bad vibes ... No, sorry for the lame pun, haha!

I'm 19 years old (turning 20 in Canada!!) and I live in a medium sized (I guess that would be small for people not living in Denmark) city half an hour north of the capital of Denmark, Copenhagen. If you dare pronounce it, here's the name: Hillerød.
Since I was two years old Hillerød has been my home.

I've tried almost every sport there is, but eventually settled on classical ballet. I loved it and actually wanted to become a ballet dancer. I stopped dancing three years ago even though I sometimes miss it terribly.
I think I love ballet and snowboarding equally, though ballet never hurt me as much as snowboarding did, haha:)

Speaking of snowboarding, I want to show you my two snowboards which I will be bringing with me to Canada!

These are my snowboards. On the left is my newest snowboard. It's a Bataleon Evil Twin with Union Flite bindings. My parents gave it to me last Christmas (pretty awesome parents, huh? (or should I say Eh??)). On the right is a snowboard that a family friend gave to me right afte my first snowboard vacation because his son had outgrown it. 

I currrently have 10 days left in Denmark before leaving for Canada. I will be flying with AirCanada through Toronto and then arriving in Vancouver on October 19! Then Samesun Hostel will be my temporary home while I arrange my SIN-number, bank account and phone plan. Finally on the 25th I will be able to call Whistler my new home!! :)

Until two days before leaving I'm working a job in a kindergarten, which I must admit I kind of love. I used to say I didn't like kids, but that was until I started this job. Now I can't stop talking about them, haha:) Which is good because I really need to be there a lot in order to earn some money for my adventure! And as you can see, today I taught the babies to give me high fives, so it's pretty awesome.

I think you know pretty much all you need to know about me now. I could go on and on about how excited I am, but I think I'm gonna save that entry for the day before leaving, haha :) Thanks for reading, and don't forget to subscribe :)

The adventure begins

Hello world,

and welcome to the adventure that is about begin in my life!

My name is Vibe (yup, weird danish name, try [Vi-be], haha) and I live in Denmark. Well, for the next two weeks at least. Here is my story:

Ever since I took my first turn on the snowboard, I knew I had to do that a lot more.
When I got back from that holiday I sat right down with the computer and found the resort of my dreams. Whistler Blackcomb.
I don't know why, I just know that that was it - and it still is.
With the help of The Working Holiday Club my dream is finally coming true.

I was 13 years old then. Now I'm 19 and two weeks away from the biggest step I have ever taken.
In 13 days I will be standing in the airport. Bags packed, snowboards shipped, saying my goodbyes to friends and family, and hello to the next seven months, which I believe will be the best months of my life.

When I say the best months of my life, I mean it. And you will get to see why. Which is why I made a list. I'm calling it my teenage bucket list:

• Move out
• Move to Canada 
• Snowboard an entire season
• Snowboard to work
• Work an awesome job
• Use my lunch break for snowboarding
• Get friends for life
• Get friends from all over the world
• Go to my first ever after ski party 
• Eat my weight in Tim Horton doughnuts
• Take my first lap in the fun park 
• Do my first 360 while maintaining the natural color of my butt 
• Make people try danish food and laugh at them ;)
• Experience holidays in Canada

• Coming home wanting to go back 

And those are only like half of the things that excites me about going! I am stoked beyond limits. It has gotten to the point where there are no more snowboard videos I haven't seen on youtube.
It is the only thing I talk about and at the moment there is nothing that I'm doing which is not directly related to going to Canada.

   This is my favourite at the moment. Torstein Horgmo killing it and being super funny at the same time. :D
Might also be due to the fact that I have a teeny tiny crush on him, haha! 

This is my dream. And I honestly don't think that I could have done it without the Working Holiday Club.
I've never experinced people go beyond really good customer service to make sure that my dream was is safe hands. But now I have!
I would recommend going with the Working Holiday Club to anyone asking for my advice. Simply because I could not have felt in more safe hands than with the Working Holiday Club.

From emails, to visa applications, to doubts to job interviews - the Working Holiday Club was there, constantly making sure I was prepared.
Basically all I had to do was check my email, show up to my interview and try to not get cramps in my cheeks from smiling so much.

So yeah, that was my first entry in this blog. I am so excited and I hope I will one day be reading this and thinking about what an awesome season that came my way.

Thank you for reading!
I'm going to go rewatch some snowboard videos now ;)
