Chasing Sheep and Other Fun Activities in the Norwegian Mountains

by Satu Vänskä-Westgarth July 8, 2013

The kind of activities I would like to be participating in and writing about this summer are quite far from what I’m actually tackling. White water kayaking, hiking the ten tops of our mountain region, finding new single tracks in the forest with my bike and scaring myself, and most […]

Omey Island: The Island that Wasn’t

by Satu Vänskä-Westgarth June 24, 2013

Island that isn’t an island? Don’t know about you, but I got curious when I heard of this little island, Omey, off the coast of Connemara in the west of Ireland. And when I could find hardly any information on it, I got even more curious. What was hiding in there? […]

Finland in Five Days

Foreword: It’s been a month (or two) of technical problems, changing hosts and what not, in which I have learned a whole deal of the technical side of blogging. The most important lessons? It is worth paying someone who knows what they are doing, AND going for the cheapest services […]

Easter Escape to the Mountains

by Satu Vänskä-Westgarth April 1, 2013

Bored of wintery mountain pictures with blue skies and lots of white snow yet? I thought I was. I mean I thought I was 100% over and done with winter too. It’s the start of April and the temperatures still drop to −10C (14F) in the mornings. Something is not quite right […]
