So much happened in 2018 that I cannot get the feelings, events and changes in one post. I am going to let these pictures tell the story of the past year. Niin paljon tapahtui vuoden 2018 aikana, etten pysty kuvailemaan tunteita, tapahtumia ja muutoksia yhdessä postauksessa. Annan siis kuvien kertoa tarinan. May the new [...]
I feel that together with Arto we are quite well prepared for everything that comes to hiking with Remu. In addition to our first aid kit, we pack a separate first aid kit of him. We are carrying not only his food, but hydrating powder and energy paste in case of an emergency. We know [...]
I got so depressed after coming home from our hike. The weather changed completely, from the frosty cold to dark, rainy, and slippery. All the magic once seen and felt in Lapland was gone. Now it seems that the winter is actually finally here and as I started planning my next hike I looked a [...]
Käyrästunturi is the cutest place to take a day trip in Rovaniemi! The fell, an hour drive to North from the centrum of Rovaniemi, is not so high, but the view opens to every direction with beautiful sights. There is no hiking trails in Käyrästunturi, but you can hike to the top either on a [...]
Nights are getting even darker and even colder. Last weekend we got to experience the best and the worst that autumn has to offer, as we hiked in Pyhä-Luosto National Park. This is how I prepared for it. Trail: Noitatunturi Summit about 15 kilometres You have to feel a little cold when you start hiking. This [...]
Happiness is having friends. Especially friends with cabins. And especially friends with cabins next to lake Jerisjärvi. Friends cabin, that I am so privileged to be able to visit, is for sure an important place. It is when I park my car on the side of lake Jerisjärvi for the fifth time, that I realise [...]
Lately I’ve been missing my friends Lately I’ve been missing my friends so much, people who know me and understand me. Due to my habit of bathing in misery I tried to deny my feelings and stay strong. My fake happiness kept me moving but hollow inside. How wonderful to happen, I got two friends [...]
From Rovaniemi you can find hundreds of outdoor destinations: lean-tos, fireplaces and trails ranging from short evening walks to longer hikes! Kuninkaanlaavu (King's lean-to) is located 8 kilometres from Rovaniemi city centrum. Car can be parked on the side of the Ounasjoen itäpuolentie, on the side of Santavaarantie or on the top of the hill, [...]
We have couple of minutes to follow the clouds gather up on us, until the heavy rain starts to fall down, lightnings striking and thunder rumbling nearby. We had three days to “enjoy” the heat on our week long hike. At the end of day three the boys are going fishing and us girls are [...]
Probably the best part about this summer was our hike in Vätsäri Wilderness, that I have so much more to tell you about. The weather is getting colder in Rovaniemi. Last night was really cold and I would have needed more than a sweater on when walking our dog in the morning. Probably the best [...]
