Weekend in the Finnish Archipelago

When Samuel and I were young, we used to do camping trips with our parents around Finland every summer. However, lately we have been traveling around the world and haven't had much time to explore our own country. Luckily this summer we got a chance to go and visit one of most beautiful places in Finland: The Finnish Archipelago. This trip was something we had been talking about and finally made it happen. 

Visit Finland invited us and some of our friends to enjoy the weekend kayaking and camping in the Archipelago. We also did a day trip by boat to see the tallest lighthouse in the Nordic countries called Bengtskär.

We had a wonderful weekend enjoying the warm sea and gorgeous sunsets! Check out the photos and video below.

Road trip to Lofoten - Daniel & Dad

It was a regular thursday noon few weeks ago and I was having lunch with my dad. I happened to look at the weather app on my phone and it showed near perfect blue skies to Lofoten for the next 4 days. I said to my Dad that I'm leaving to Lofoten today! Then I realized that my dad had never been there and he had always enjoyed our photos and stories from our Lofoten road trips. Kind of as a joke I said to my dad that take few days off from work and come with me! My dad said that I really can't, I need to work and I have some meetings the next day. My dad started smiling and you could tell that he had already made a decision to go with me. He went back to work and arranged the meeting for next week and at 4PM we started our journey towards Norway, as I had packed everything while my dad finished his work for the day. 

We had a car, tent, camping food and no plans.

Norway road trip vol. 8

We have been super busy and we have had to put our personal stuff on the side for few weeks, and that is the reason for this quiet time in the blog.

Now that the craziest time is over and I finally had some time to sit down on the computer and upload some of our photos to the computer. This is a photo summary of our trip few weeks ago to Norway. We had an amazing trip with the Veddeng siblings, Andrew from New Zealand and Hannah from the US. The Veddengs had planned us a road trip visiting amazing places like Geirangerfjord, Trollstigen and Ålesund.  We had some plans sleeping in tents too, but the rain ruined those plans. That's totally fine as we ended up sleeping in a nice hut overlooking the beautiful Geirangerfjord.
