  • The rainy weather today here in Helsinki and the smell of autumn in the air, it feels just right to share this final #finlandcollage post from our Saimaa summer trip, unfortunately this was the only Norppa seal we saw this time around. I am ready for a busy season that’s ahead of us! And with this, I wish you a great Monday and a wonderful week, I’m at coffee #4 over here.
  • Our big moving day is getting closer and I’m getting more irritable by the day 😹 I hate moving house, packing everything and getting everything organised - not my strong suit! When all I want is to be on the water (my happy place) and soak in views like this. Instead here I am freaking out over boxes, lamps, paint and payments while stress eating nachos 😹 on the bright side: yes I’m beyond excited for the new home, setting up everything and starting things fresh. Wish me luck and lots of nachos ✌️
  • Today is my 9-year Finlandiversary! For the newbies here, I’ll catch you up: I came to Finland for a study exchange, and was originally supposed to stay for only one year. I fell in love with the city, the lifestyle, the nature and the people, and yes - I do like the weather, too. I can’t believe how much has happened in the last years, but this is always such a special day to me. And this summer was the most perfect reminder of why I chose Finland as my home and this photo is a wonderful caption of that. Yay! . 📸 @flyingsharkbear . #finlandiversary #expatlife #finland #expatinfinland #iamanimmigrant #suomi #maahanmuuttaja #minäolenmaahanmuuttaja
  • Good morning! My favourite part of mornings is the first coffee of the day. Whats yours?
  • It’s so secret that I’m a major food snob and I’m happy to spend for a tasty meal. Any day. I’m opinionated and outspoken when it comes to how I like something at any restaurant and at home. But when there’s this view, this setting, the right company and the right mood, a simple pack of freeze-dried, terrible pasta can be the best meal in the world. But a nice white wine always helps, too.
  • Wow so today was a stupid day. Lots of silly bureaucratic stuff came in, unexpected bills and then some. My mood really plummeted this afternoon and I was ready to give in and just cancel today and hedgehog for the evening (ie. rolling up in a ball and hide) but instead I got myself a sinful chocolate muffin and will look forward to sailing with the dear @pinghelsinki team tonight. I’m always so happy on the water (like here on lake Saimaa just a few weeks ago) so I should be happy that today happened to be the day we set out to the sea. Here’s to stupid days and feeling better! . 📸 @flyingsharkbear
  • It’s a new week! And I’m excited for it. The autumn is pretty much here (don’t you feel the autumn vibes yet?) and I’m ready to welcome my favourite season of the year. This photo is from our bbq dinner @nestorinranta a couple of weeks ago, which was simple and wonderful, with a view of Saimaa. I’m so happy we had this trip, full of experiences that gave me terrible fomo the summer before. This year I’m just fully content with how the last months were spent and I’m totally okay with the busy season in front of us. Have you seen the full collage on my profile yet? My Saimaa summer feed is almost completed and I love it! Head to @luminoucity and check it out :)
  • The happiest of Saimaa days! We did a boat course and rented this little boatie boat the following day to explore the lake ourselves. And it was amazing! We had crazy luck with the weather and it was just a perfect day out on the water and the islands. The only thing missing: them Norppa seals. Next time. . 📸 @flyingsharkbear
  • Happy weekend! Just a few short weeks ago this the afternoon visuals: having a delicious lettu by the shore of lake Saimaa and “studying” for our boat course. Which was absolutely the best thing ever. I loved that spot. This weekend, while the entire city is over at Flow festival I’ll be selling old furniture and sorting through the depths of the kitchen cupboards in preparation of our big move at the end of the month. Exciting times! I’d rather be on a boat though.
  • Those Saimaa shorelines ❤️
  • This view though ❤️ we continued to Nestorinranta, which is the cutest little B&B in the middle of the Saimaa archipelago, where we spent the last 3 nights of our #saaristoreitti trip. More following!
  • There are some moments in life that are just too perfect. Like this one. We had the most amazing sauna and swim, with beautiful views (see my last post) and on the way back to the cottage, we decided to get a drink at the bar, and spontaneously also ordered fries with those. And. The fries were so so good. Even the Belgian agreed. This was such a surprise that made both of just thoroughly happy. It’s the little things in life, let’s not forget them. . #saaristoreitti @koskenselka_puumala
