Hey there friends! As you can see I come to you with sad news. It’s also the reason why I’ve been silent for so long. Normally I write these blog posts broken up into travelling days and thus the natural continuation would be to now tell you about day five, but the events on dayContinue reading “An early end”

Cycling for Life
Hi there friends! Some people might remember from last time, but with my new adventure coming up I’ve decided to bring back my initiative “Cycling for Life”. As you can see from the infographic it is basically the equivalent to a charity run, but instead of me running, I’ll be cycling. Suicide prevention is stillContinue reading “Cycling for Life”
I’m back: Nordkapp 2.0
Hi there! It’s been a while, I know! Life moved fast, loads of stuff happened, and my focus laid with things other than travelling for a while. Which makes it all the more exciting to sit down again and share some new adventuring news! The Idea It’s not long ago, that I first learned ofContinue reading “I’m back: Nordkapp 2.0”
Wrap Up
Dear friends, it’s been quite a while. I’m really sorry about the silence, but one thing just lead into another and before I knew it, there was so much going on, I just didn’t find the right headspace anymore to write something up here. Funny sidenote is, there is an almost finished blog entry thatContinue reading “Wrap Up”
Day 44 & 45: Nordkapp
Day 44 I headed out for one more day of misery. And weather wise that’s what I got. When leaving Lakselv it was already raining and the wind was extremely strong. The following climbs were extremely exhausting and only knowing how close to my goal I was what kept my mental at a quite goodContinue reading “Day 44 & 45: Nordkapp”
Day 40: Last night in Finland
What a wonderful day to round off my time in Finland. I’ve decided to stay in Inari for one more day as I just felt too at ease and home here to already leave again. So I made the most out of that additional day, visiting the “Siida” – a museum about Sami culture andContinue reading “Day 40: Last night in Finland”
Day 37, 38 & 39: Saariselkä & Inari
Day 37 As a disclaimer upfront, this day and the next were mentally very difficult days due to the suicide of a friend of mine and as such I don’t want to dive into them too deeply. I’ll focus on the less personal things and keep it brief. I started out quite early in Sodankylä,Continue reading “Day 37, 38 & 39: Saariselkä & Inari”
Day 31, 32, 33 & 34: Rovaniemi
Day 31 What a wonderful day. I’ve been looking forward to it for a couple days and it lived up to it in full. Remember my friends colleague and friend that helped me with my card issues in Kuopio? She has rented a cottage with her family in Rovaniemi for holidays. So funnily enough ourContinue reading “Day 31, 32, 33 & 34: Rovaniemi”
Day 29 & 30: Arriving in Lapland
Day 29: Kemi Heyaaaaa. Yup, I didn’t write anything yesterday but I did what I told myself I’d do from the start and what is a big part of this adventure. I did what felt right in the moment. And yesterday I needed a mental break and rest, some “me time”. Why? Well I startedContinue reading “Day 29 & 30: Arriving in Lapland”
Day 28: Oulu
It’s already quite late at the point of writing this and I have yet to cook, so please excuse the possibly somewhat short post. The day started off on a really good note, I woke up before my alarm already feeling energized, so I just got up, packed my stuff ate breakfast and headed onContinue reading “Day 28: Oulu”
