PIECE OF Jewelry I @SatuVW I Destination Unknown

What Do You Bring Home from Travels? PIECE OF – Anniversary Giveaway!

by Satu Vänskä-Westgarth March 31, 2014

I was sitting at the Marrakech airport with a brown ceramic dish wrapped in a dirty coloured paper wrapping on my lap, and wondered what I had done. I had just spend my last dirhams in a haste, keen only to get rid of the extra cash, and purchased something […]

Crash Course to Norwegian, the Moroccan Way

by Satu Vänskä-Westgarth March 27, 2014

As if forty-eight hours travel back from New Zealand to Europe wasn’t enough, couple of days later and two flights in I was standing at the Oslo Airport, still jet-lagged, making introductions in my broken Norwegian while my head struggled to keep up with the familiar phrases resonating around me.

New Zealand via Instagram Feature I @SatuVW I Destination Unknown

Good Bye New Zealand. E noho rā.

Instagram Travel Thursday in Melbourne I @SatuVW I Destination Unknown

Escape to Melbourne – the Sweet Life of a Solo Traveler

by Satu Vänskä-Westgarth March 14, 2014

15000 kilometres of New Zealand Beaches I @SatuVW I Destination Unknown

15,000 Kilometres of Beach

by Satu Vänskä-Westgarth March 6, 2014

Beach holidays make me cringe. The memories I have of the last one involved two bright red legs with white hand-marks on the thighs, where I had carelessly slapped on some sunscreen. And this was after lazy day(s) on the beach followed by margarita filled night(s) in the local nightclub. […]

Fishing in Raglan New Zealand I @SatuVW I Destination Unknown

Something Fishy Is Going on in Raglan, New Zealand

by Satu Vänskä-Westgarth March 4, 2014

I wish I knew how to write about food, but I don’t, so I’ll make this post (almost) all about fish instead. Something strange happened when we landed in New Zealand. I have tons of photos, hours of video clips and many unfinished stories to tell. But they are waiting. […]
