Eat, drink and explore
I’ve been going back and forth with my own thoughts lately. Our summer vacation is not coming up until mid-August, which is making it hard for me to commit to any plans. I had already settled for the plan to explore Eastern Finland. Now, however,…
If you take a longer trip it’s wise to take jetlag and travel fatigue into consideration when making plans. I know how exciting it is to explore new destinations and you may feel like you’re missing valuable time if you take some downtime. I dare…
I’ve been contemplating writing a post of what my day looks like in these exceptional times for a while. Finally, I decided to put pen to paper (or in this case start typing). This post really has nothing to do with travel, so if that’s…
At least for me, finding free Wi-Fi while traveling is essential. I always book accommodation with free Wi-Fi, which naturally means I don’t need Wi-Fi as much when out and about. However, Wi-Fi is still also necessary when roaming the destination. Whenever I enter an…
Lauantaina maisteltiin taasen Rosa ruoka- ja viinikerhon toimittamaa viiniä. Laseihin päätyi tällä kertaa ranskalainen roséviini. Olen suuri roséviinien ystävä ja etenkin kesäisin juon melkein mieluiten juuri roséita. Usein miten juon kuitenkin roséni sellaisenaan, enkä ruuan kanssa. English summary at the end of the post.

Viikonloppuna oli taas aikaa maistella Rosa viini- ja ruokakerhon toimittamaa viiniä. Viiniksi valikoitui italialainen punaviini, jonka seuraksi kokkailin pasta carbonaraa. Tiesittekö muuten, että aidossa ja alkuperäisessä carbonarassa on vain viisi aineosaa: spagettia, guanciale-lihaa, munia, Pecorino Romano -raastetta ja mustapippuria. Guanciale on savustamaton italialainen, pekonia muistuttava…
Despite last week’s post and slight depression, I’ve now found a bit of motivation to try to come up with some vacation plans. Over the weekend it hit me that I have to come up with something, as sitting at home throughout our three-week summer…
