Long distance busses are a great way to get around Brazil. I used them in Pantanal for shorter and longer journeys.
Travel
Backpacking Pantanal – Campo Grande, Miranda, Corumba
What are the towns next to the world's largest tropical wetland like? I visited three towns in Pantanal.
The best way to the Sugarloaf in Rio – Via Dos Italianos
Take the cable car up to the Sugarloaf Mountain and be boring. Or climb all the way up and enjoy the view much longer.
Stressing about safety – Rio’s bad reputation
I started my short trip in Brazil from Rio de Janeiro. I was told I’m likely to get robbed so I tried to make sure I wouldn’t…
Camping alone – with an intruder
I spent a night in the woods alone in October. Some might think it is brave. Is it?
Finnish folklore and the creation of Milky Way
Finns are often said to be "connected to nature". These Finnish folk traditions and folklore I talk about circle around trees.
Västerby – Trail runs and tent spots
Visit Västerby recreation area in Finland. I challenged myself with a trail run but a calm camp night is just as good option.
Flying horses – Musée national Marc Chagall
Marc Chagall plays with colour and inserts strange creatures in his paintings. The museum in Nice is definitely worth a few euros and a short visit.
Hat for the statue and picnic at a park – My cap’s first May Day
I had never worn my graduation cap on May Day - it is a Finnish tradition that I had missed due to living abroad. It is not just any kind of hat though.
Before the storm – Tapiontaival trail in Salmi
There was time to go for a quiet winter walk before the snowstorm Valtteri/Malik arrived.
