Kun kerroimme muille tulevasta Ikilomastamme, vastaan tuli mitä erikoisempia reaktioita. Toiset kaverit tiesivät väittää, että nyt on kolmenkympin kriisi alkamassa, ja toiset kaverit epäilivät mitä erikoisempia salaliittoteorioita.
Pois oravanpyörästä.
Kyseessä on pitkäaikainen unelmamatka: aiomme matkustaa paikkoihin, joissa olemme aina halunneet käydä. Nostamme rinkat selkään ja laitamme vaelluskengät jalkaan. Matkustamme ilman aikatauluja ja ilman tarkkoja reittisuunnitelmia.
Paluulippuja emme aio ostaa etukäteen, koska emme vielä tiedä tulemmeko takaisin tänävuonna, seuraavana vuonna vai joskus myöhemmin…
Tervetuloa mukaan seuraamaan Ikilomaa! Toivottavasti nautitte Ikilomasta yhtä paljon kuin mekin!

We’re off to ikilomalle!
We have decided to jump off our busy everyday rat race and go on a Ikilomalle. Ikilomalle means “to depart on a forever holiday” more or less anyway. 🙂 One way tickets to Siberia can be soon found in our back pockets any day now and at the end of this ridiculously short summer of Finland, we will be packing everything our home consists of into cardboard boxes and neatly into storage. We will bid farewell to our friends accompanied by strong hugs and say goodbye to our permanent jobs.
When we told others about our upcoming Ikiloma, we met some unusual reactions. Some people claimed that we are experiencing a pre-30 meltdown crisis, and some doubted the most unusual conspiracy theories you can imagine 😀
NO: we are not going to jail, we are not going to have secret children abroad, and we are not (hopefully) having an age crisis. We also did not come up with the idea of a Ikiloma during a intoxicating Kentucky fried weekend.
QUIT THE RAT RACE.
This is a persisting and incurable dream to us and a journey of a lifetime: we’re going to go experience places where we have always wanted to visit, but never had the balls to go. We will fasten our backpacks and slap on our hiking shoes. We travel without schedules and without definite route plans.
We will observe, take part and experience everything new and memorable. We will photograph, write travel blogs and produce video material of our journey – something we’ve always dreamt of doing.
Return tickets are not bought in advance, because we do not yet know will we be back this year, next year or some time later…
In this blog we will tell and show what’s it like to be on Ikilomalla, and to share inspiration, travel recommendations, as well as trip ideas for unique travel destinations in a somewhat professional manner.
Welcome aboard Ikiloma! We hope you enjoy Ikiloma as much as we do!

Kuullostaa ihanalta ja vähän pelottavaltakin. Onnea matkaan!
