Finland, march 2025

   Beginning of March, we went to visit our lovely friends and snowboard a little. As they live not too far from Helsinki and we only went for a long weekend, we did not go to the north, but opted for some smaller resorts near Espoo and Kirkonummi. Still more slopes than in Estonia. Also, did some sightseeing and walking around, cooked together and had a great time. Fun fact, we chose the warmest weekend to go, which is not the greatest for hitting the slopes. It was +10 degreed on couple of the days..

Summer stories vol 1: June

June hasn't really reached any summery temperatures but global warming aside it has been a pretty great month. Besides I'm off to Cyprus in 2 days to bake myself in +48 C. 

Winter stories vol 2

Stefano came to discover north-east, find polar-bears and freeze his nose off a little bit. I really enjoy this being a tourist and a tourguide at the same time in my own city.

Helsinki, Finland

I've always thought Helsinki to be quite a random city to visit, maybe because it is so close and as a kid and early teen I've been there a million times, but also because there is not much to do. Well, we went to Mumford and The Sons concert on Saturday (I have to just stress out again how much I love bands that are true performers, their live was so good!). We stayed at Felix and Sara's seaside apartment and had a blast with them. Went for some turkish buffet for lunch, spent time in Kiasma (more like ran out of time), went for a few drinks to Molotov bar at the hipsterish area and walked around the areas I've never been to. After the concert met with their flatmate and his coworkers and had a lovely glass of wine at a central hotel. Helsinki can be heaps of fun!

Himos, Finland

On thursday early-early in the morning headed to snowboard at Himos, Finland, with Keiu, her parents and some family friends.Two full days on the mountains - enough to discover a bunch of new muscles that can ache on your body. Himos is not a dream destination to go snowboarding, but a lot better than nothing, it had some pretty decent slopes!
