Vilnius, Lithuania

Though many told us to visit Kaunas if we went to the beautiful country of Lithuania, we decided to stick to Vilnius and spend the (almost) last days of our 2 1/2 week tour exploring the city and it's secrets. 

Vilnius was hot, beautiful, full of great little bars and pubs and interesting history. Our hosts from Australia and Germany gave us a grand tour of everything and now I miss the sun there. 

To me, Vilnius was a great mix of grungy pubs, artsy corners and amazing people. It had so much potential and gorgeous scenery, combining a relaxed atmosphere with interesting history (don't miss the genocide museum, a sad place to visit but well worth it) without being overly touristy. A backpackers heaven with low prices and lots to see.

Canada

I miss you so much. 

These are all shots from Toronto, Ottawa or Newfoundland. I just loved the people, the country and everything there is. I also think that a significant part of this yearning is about the fact that Canada was the first country I spent a longer time living in besides Finland. But still, still I love it and miss it and have to go back someday. Just wish it weren't so far away. Damn you Atlantic Ocean.

Summer please be here

Fun fact: did you know there's a song with  lyrics "Do you suffer from longtime memory loss? -I can't remember."

It's amazing. Trust me.

These shots are from Geneva, last year. Very pretty!

We have a crazy ass schedule with no time to deal with basic functions like maybe, dunno, sleeping? Here are some snaps from our trip. 

Peace!

Oh là là, I love you Russia

Back home from our firms excursion/refreshment trip to the lovely amazing city of St. Petersburg. We started our trip from the Helsinki railwaystation, taking the new Allegro-train to Russia. The journey on the train was suprisingly nice, relaxing and fast! Our weekend went by way too quickly (I miss the hotel breakfasts already), but we did manage to squeeze in some shopping (I'd probaly squeeze this in even if my pants were on fire), sightseeing and a tour of the Winter Palace. All in all, the city is amazing with all it's history! 

This is what St. Petersburg was for me:

Fancy seilings

Enthusiastic tour guides

Italian mosaics
