Backpack for a One-Week Wilderness Hike

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 [...]

My Wedding Package

With the wedding package I wanted to bring the wedding day alive before the couple even saw the actual pictures on the USB-stick. I wanted to make my clients feel as special as they were on their wedding day, but also to personally thank them for their hospitality. This wedding package was decorated with cones [...]

Happiness is Having Friends with Cabins

The next day after my birthday we got a very pleasant call from our friend. Hey! I just arrived to our cabin, you wanna come? As we were supposed to travel to Southern Finland the upcoming week for a wedding, we decided why not? This way we didn't need to drive the 800 kilometers straight, [...]

Arto never came as South as Oulu, but stayed the whole weekend in a tent near Kiiminki [...]

The Warmer Days

There has been a week of heat, again. There has not been a day without sunshine since we moved There has not been a day without sunshine since we moved to the Finnish side of Lapland. It has been a week of heat and it does not seem to stop. And when I am talking [...]

New Address, New Neighbors

Rovaniemi. I have memorised our new address and navigated my way to closest supermarkets. We have walked around our block. We have found the longest and shortest ways to the city centrum. We have settled into our new home. Even Remu seems to be alright with this life changing move that we decided on without [...]
