Good Friday in Helsinki

Hello, I decided to go for a long walk yesterday to enjoy the lovely spring weather. Whilst the ocean is still frozen the air is slowly getting warmer. The spring seems to be just around the corner. Since I am basically using all the words I know for my final essays I simply have nothing…

Helsinki Week 1

I wanted to keep a weekly journal about my life here in Helsinki. For the first week I decided to note down the strange things that I have noticed. Some of these things are bad, some good and some just odd. If I were in the click-baiting game I think the title of this…

My Bucket List for Finland

As I am moving to Finland I wanted to have a bucket list of things I would like to do while I am there. When I started scouring the internet for ideas most of them had one thing in common, midnight sun and northern lights. Both something I have had plenty of in Iceland and…
