As I’m about to fly home, here are some quick snaps from my wonderful week in Helsinki. Two years ago I spent about 48 hours in this city and I’ve been eager to come back ever since. So happy the first #WCNordic happened here last week which gave me an excuse to spend time connecting and coworking with friends, freezing my butt off exploring the city, and relaxing in all the typical local ways. I had so much fun in the Löyly sauna (did not go in the sea this time but next time for sure!). I fell head over heels in love with the central library Oody – the most wonderful shared space I’ve seen to this day. And I was lucky enough to have lovely people around to share this with and to climb rooftops with at sunset. And, unsurprisingly, now I’m itchy to go North. Next time. Gonna go on an adventure looking for white reindeers. .

What a magical Sunday we had – an unexpected, quiet, white journey through Moominvalley. The day just kept on going and I didn’t really want it to end. Stayed in bed for several hours unable to sleep rereading some of my favorite Tove Jansson pieces. I had forgotten the brilliance of her quiet wisdom. Thank you for the gift, @phoenix2k ❤️ ——— “There are such a lot of things that have no place in summer and autumn and spring. Everything that’s a little shy and a little rum. Some kinds of night animals and people that don’t fit in with others and that nobody really believes in. They keep out of the way all the year. And then when everything’s quiet and white and the nights are long and most people are asleep—then they appear.” . . . . . . . . #finland #moomin #ToveJansson #introvert #nomadstories #traveldiary #booklovers #moominvalley #instatravel #moominmuseum #journey #trains #ontheroad

Last report from Sri Lanka before I fly home in a few hours. Had a day to explore Colombo with friends and found a couple of really awesome places I’d gladly go back to. Wright @ Co, the Gallery Café, Barefoot – the store & the garden coffee shop to name just a few. Still, nothing beats @saltyswamis down at Hikkaduwa. Most definitely the gem of this trip. Celebrated March 1st away from home yet again. Plus side: got 70 humans from all over the world to make martenitsi for each other. It was glorious ⚪️🔴 Overall Sri Lanka is a weird mix between Thailand & India, but greener. Like… a lot greener. I would have loved to explore the insides of the island, take the train into the mountains, spend more time surfing the coast, and maybe go East. Alas! Need to go back to Europe for a thing. But got my “Next time in Sri Lanka” list prepped. The Sinhala script, to this day, remains at the top of my favorites list. ආයුබෝවන් 👋🏻❤️ . . . . . . . . . . #srilanka #kalutara #colombo #travelphotography #girlslovetravel #nomadstories #instatravel #hikkaduwabeach #adventure #neverstopexploring

Last #hmretreat day – skipped the trips to avoid the heat & had a bit of fun in the water & chill time in the shade instead with other cheeky humans. @noeltock took some great shots, didn’t he? #srilanka #travelphotography #nomadstories #kalutara #srilankatrip #instatravel #chilling

And overnight, out of the blue, temperatures drop by 10 degrees and you wake up in the middle of Autumn. A special foggy delivery, right for my birthday. Thanks Karma, you b{#^ch! Luckily sunshine supplements are all around me: people glow when they’re happy, have you noticed? And thank chocolate Jesus for that cause I got a head full of lightning, a hat full of rain. Thanks Mishoni, for my beautiful BD Tom Waits sketch. And everyone, for all the sunflowers. @sianaraykovska you were first 🌻 + . . . . . #TomWaits #picoftheday #traveldiary #instatravel #sunflowers #summerstories #autumn #art #drawings #ink #nomadstories #instaarchive #music #musicquotes #artwork #blues #presents #flowers
