Rediscovering Finland, the Land of Santa Claus

by Satu Vänskä-Westgarth November 14, 2013

Have you ever met Santa Claus? I have, several times. Looking back to my childhood, it is kind of strange how he looked slightly different every year, when he paid his visit to our home on Christmas Eve. There was one year we didn’t meet him at all, as he […]

For One Week Only – Living Like a Local in Dublin

by Satu Vänskä-Westgarth November 4, 2013

I didn’t want to tell stories about Ireland and pass Dublin without a mention, but what’s there to tell? If you flipped through the images I took you could see a sunny day spent in the Phoenix park or us huddling under the trees at St Stephen’s Green in rain. […]

Beautiful Ireland in Five Images

by Satu Vänskä-Westgarth October 17, 2013

We have been traveling around Ireland for the past two weeks and all I can say, Ireland has been good to us, once again. Since coming back, our household has turned more or less into a madhouse though. Our bags are partly unpacked. The washing machine is spinning like crazy. […]

Instagram: More than Pretty Pictures?

by Satu Vänskä-Westgarth October 10, 2013

Good morning from Ireland! I know I know, yesterday I was talking about surfing in Norway and when you read this, I’m most likely surfing in the Atlantic Ocean off the Irish coast. Or at least building sand castles in the howling wind on the beach with little miss Mini. […]
