When I was studying circus in Lahti I had this thought, this fear knocking back my head that I was just a dreamer. I had all these ideas and stories I wanted to bring to people to see but how? What if I lack something to make my big ideas concrete? This fear pushed me forward to prove myself I have it in me. I took one of my ideas and started to work with it and soon I was touring on my own around Finland street performing. I created myself a summer job for 2022 and 2023.

The best moments I experienced on tour were the people I met. I made many friends and even performed some of them during the tour. While writing this text I still feel deep gratitude in my heart. The purpose of the tour was to liven up street circus culture in Finland. I wanted to bring street circus to places where people haven't experienced much of it. 

Applying for grants for the both years was very beneficial despite that I didn’t get the grant for the summer 2022. I learned how to write and develop my applications and in 2023 Finnish Cultural Foundation granted a One-woman street circus tour. That was very helpful because without the grant I wouldn’t be able to tour the second year.
