About 60 km of walking in Eastern Finland? Absolutely! Herajärvi trail in Koli National Park was brilliantly autumnal. Golden colours and cheeky animals.

How to get to the Sugarloaf Mountain in Rio de Janeiro…More on my blog, which is no longer blocked! Link in the bio.
Blog: Rio de Janeiro turned out to be better than I thought. At least I wasn’t robbed. The trip has motivated me to update my blog again, link is in the bio! My time in Brazil is coming to an end but I’ll write a few more posts about it.
Like I flew to the stars. This is why arriving at night is a treat. #travelling #onthego #flying #highlights #citylights
