My Favorite Thing About BEing Finnish
So, Finland is the happiest country in the world, four years in a row. Amazing, right? There are many things I love about Finland. The amazing social security, the rye bread and licorice, the midsummer nights when the sun comes up at 3 am, and Finnish people’s honesty. The total lack of small talk and polite chitchat when you really want to be quiet. And the natural social distancing we’ve practiced since way before the pandemic.

St Anthony’s Chapel Ruins
On Friday I was in Edinburgh and I am interested in old buildings. My dad was a builder but I could never get the hang of building walls , my limits were hod carrying , block making , mixing concrete , digging holes and sweeping up. All necessary jobs but something that anyone can do.

Bordeaux: A 6-Hour Drive from Paris and What We Experienced
Arriving in Bordeaux Bordeaux is a bustling city in the southwest of France. It is home to many vineyards and chateaus where the worldwide known Bordeaux wines come from. Bordeaux is quite popular among tourists. I was not expecting so many, especially during the slow season in late October. It is a beautiful city with its Gothic and Romanesque styles of architecture, many of which are recognized as UNESCO Heritage Site.

Black Friday Outside the USA
Black Friday Means Something Very Different Outside of the USA… About now, we're all getting spammed with email notifications and social media ads about Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales. The USA is celebrating (or mourning) the Thanksgiving holiday, and expects the rest of the world to join in on the joys of unbridled capitalism.

Neuschwanstein Castle: A Real-Life Fairy Tale
“Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer” – Anonymous Close your eyes and picture a magnificent white castle nestled at the top of a hill. You can see its glorious towers and turrets springing up through the mist. Picturesque snow-capped mountaintops and crystal lakes surround it. Many of you may be picturing the well-known Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland. After all, we see it at the beginning of every Disney movie. Perhaps you have even been there yourself. But, did you know that there is an actual castle in Europe that inspired Disney’s creation? It sits high in the Alps in southwest Bavaria, Germany. It is called Schloss Neuschwanstein, or New Swan Stone Castle.
