Read all about our travels! For us, traveling is a hobby, a passion, a way of life. Here you can join us on our adventures in Europe, Africa, North America, South America, and Asia. We have been to many countries, but there are still many left on our list. Not only do we write about the places we have been to. We also want to share tips and travel inspiration with you. Come along as we travel the world!
As always, we appreciate your comments. And remember, let us know if you have any questions!
For my final day trip from Warsaw, I chose the smaller town of Żyrardów. This destination was much closer to the capital, which meant a shorter train ride and a more relaxed schedule. I took a slightly later train, which gave me a calm and easy start to the day after the longer journeys of…
Just a year after our last visit, Susann and I returned for another summer weekend in Kaunas. In the summer of 2024, we had explored Lithuania’s second-largest city with Little A, but this time it was an adventure just for the two of us while she spent the weekend with her grandparents. It felt both…
The summer of 2024 was truly a season of adventure for us. Just a few weeks after visiting Tallinn, it was time to return to the Baltic States. We had already completed our Arctic Tour and my solo trip to Poland. Now, the calendar was set for a final summer weekend in Kaunas, the second-largest…
The summer of 2024 was already packed with plans. We had just returned from an extensive Arctic Tour to Nordkapp with Susann’s parents, and the calendar was filling up fast. Susann and Little A were preparing to visit the Åland Islands, while I was planning a solo trip to Poland. Additionally, we had a family…
The summer of 2024 developed into a season of extensive travel for our family. We had already completed a long Arctic Tour to Nordkapp in June and enjoyed a weekend getaway to Tallinn earlier in July. However, the travel season was not quite over. Before our final upcoming trip to Kaunas at the end of…
Our Arctic adventure in the Nordics was about to come to an end. We had seen some amazing places in Finland, Norway, and Sweden over the past two weeks. We had stood at the border tripoint between the three countries at Treriksröset. The number of places we had seen was more than we had anticipated…
Arriving in Villähde outside of Lahti the night before, we knew we were going to have one full day to enjoy the city. This would be our last full day in mainland Finland before it was time to continue towards the harbor in Naantali and back to the Åland Islands. It was going to be…
We had reached Siilinjärvi, just north of Kuopio, and it felt like we had properly left the far north of the Nordics. The Arctic was now far behind us, and the sunshine and summer heat were about to welcome us to the south of Finland. We had set our target on the city of Lahti,…
After a night in Kemijärvi, it was time to leave Finnish Lapland and continue even further south. It was going to be a day with a very long drive, a drive that quite soon took us past the Arctic Circle and further down towards Kuusamo and later Kajaani. But it was not going to be…
Waking up at the shores of Lake Ukonjärvi, just a short distance north of Ivalo, was the start of a day that would include plenty of reindeer sightings. We had already seen many reindeer in Norway and also had an encounter in Inari. This day, however, would be filled with them at every turn. We…
After a few days exploring the far north of Norway, seeing the Arctic Ocean, and cycling along the fjords, our Arctic road trip had brought us back to Finland. We had reached the border village of Nuorgam and were about to start making our way south and closer to home. Our adventure was, however, far…
Where do you go after reaching Nordkapp? If you are traveling by road, there is really only one direction available from this point, and that is to drive south. We knew we would stay a few more days in the Arctic as we set our course back along the shores of the impressive Porsangerfjorden. With…
