Hey guys!

Just wanted to give you a brief update on what's been going on lately and what there is to come :)

Ever since I won the competition in Iceland, I have been working out,
rehearsing my performance and going to a lot of interviews.

Last weekend I flew to London to perform "Is It True" in "the Scala". I am very grateful and happy for all the support and interest there, the audience could not have been better!

The next day I flew to Amsterdam. Right away when I landed, I jumped on a bus with some of the other contestants from ESC. I am very happy I got a chance to meet these people before the competition. Being in Amsterdam was such a good learning experience, because it really was like a mini-ESC.

There were journalists everywhere, the paparazzi, we even had bodyguards! The funniest thing about all of this is that I had been flying so much that I did not get much sleep, nor had the time to change my clothes before I had to get on the bus for all the interviews, so of course I fell asleep on the bus! When I woke up I looked out the window and saw a big red carpet and about 150 photographers and journalists waiting for us! I just thought OH MY
GOD! I did not know this was going to be such a big event! hehe so I turned out to be a big dork in the whole situation:)

Now there are only 7 days until I leave Iceland for Moscow! I am so exited
about the whole adventure!

Hope to see as many of you as possible in Moscow!

Love,

Yohanna
