Eat, drink and explore
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.

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 …
One of my pet peeves while traveling is slow people in security lines. You know the people who only start digging out things from their bag when it’s their turn to pass through security. Or the people who start asking whether they can bring their …
