ABout this blog

In the beginning I didn’t keep any records about my travels. Even when changing laptops, I didn’t transfer old files with plans, maps, and descriptions of places worth visiting. I must admit, I really regret it now. Later, when I wanted to talk about some particularly interesting place, I began to realize that details were falling out of my memory. I remember that I ate in a very authentic restaurant in a village not far from Asti, but the name of the village has already been erased from my memory. And I began to describe my travels very briefly in one of the social networks. First, a week-long trip with one or two posts. And lately I’ve been keeping a diary in which I record the most vivid impressions every day.

 

This site is my personal blog, I will collect my impressions of present and memories of past travels here. Perhaps my reader will not agree with me on everything. But I describe exclusively my personal experience and only my impressions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Anyone who wants to go on a virtual journey with me, look at this world through my eyes and, perhaps, get excited about visiting exactly that country or that city that they read about on my page. I am an active reader of many travel blogs myself and I trust them more than travel agency brochures.
Of course, no ready-made tours and no groups. The optimal composition of my tour group is one companion. It is desirable that this person himself “burns” with this country. A like-minded stranger can be a better companion than a good every day life friend who has completely different travel priorities. I have a positive attitude towards looking for travel companions on the Internet and personally I have had only positive experiences. I know how and love to travel alone. In such solo adventures you can truly relax and make new acquaintances. The situation practically forces you to contact with locals and gain more experience. But this is not the most budget option. 50% of the cost of a double room is always less than a single room price. Solo travels are the best for cycling trips and for overnight stays in hostels or in a tent. If you plan to travel by car, take a taxi or even a car with a driver, then three is the optimal amount.

A car! I like rental cars. Renting saves a huge amount of time, allows you to make changes to the original plan, and get to places where public transport is not available. There are not many options for traveling by car from Finland. Of course you get anywhere by car, but I feel sorry for wasting precious vacation days for gasoline burning when I can fly in a matter of hours and get a car right at the airport.

 

Camper! This is simply a brilliant invention of mankind! It allowed me to spend 3 weeks in Norway and 3 weeks in Switzerland on a super low budget. I would never have been able to afford such trips financially, If not the opportunity to cook my own food and no need to pay for hotels.

 

Bicycle! My favorite way to move when traveling. But I understand that it is not suitable for everyone. Almost every person can ride 100 km without training, but riding 100 km every day for a week or two requires practice.

 

Public transport! if there is an outing for some long weekend in some European capital, then, of course, there can be no question of any car.

 

Well, I would like to highlight hiking separately. Even if your vacation is still far away, you can always go to the nearest national park or walk some eco-trail.
