TRAVELOGUE: Stockholm

Stockholm. I don't know where to begin. The Stockholm I pictured in my head was the typical stereotype, Land of Ikea, but it's so much more than that. Stockholm has a charm, that captivates me, and it has my heart. Or should I say Scandinavian countries has my heart. Although I did of course pop into Ikea and you never say no to meatballs, you just don't. 

 

 

 Interesting fact, Stockholm is made up of 14 islands which are connected by bridges. I love water, sea, ocean, lakes, I love them all. And one third of Stockholm is actually water. I wish I could call it home. 

Did that make you wanna go there too? Or perhaps my pictures are not good enough. Imagine 20x pretty than that in real life. Now you would want to go. 

Take me back to Stockholm, now. Perhaps spending a few months or a year there is a really good idea? I wish I had the luxury of spending a few months just travelling. #wanderlustfever 

Hello Helsinki

I am finally here in Helsinki, Finland! I can hardly wait to start school, mingle with my classmates, explore Helsinki and fall in love with Finland. Quaint neighbourhoods, efficient public transports, friendly people, it is hard not to like this city.

Took a walk around the city centre after settling down, and realised that it's actually really small. The whole city centre is within walking distance. There's hardly an high rise buildings, the whole place is filled with low rise buildings of European architecture. I am indeed fascinated with this city people hear very little about. Looking forward to the next couple of weeks here!
