Who? What? Why?

This blog is a yearlong travel adventure of a couple in our early thirties. We are exploring and getting mesmerized by the world in our five-meter-long van, while living the working life of digital nomads.

A kiss for the new year! 🥳 Hope the coming year

A kiss for the new year! 🥳 Hope the coming year will bring you lot's of joy, happiness and good health.
It is with a blue heart that we now post this pic, as it was the last one taken with Lörppö the van. We decided to let the van go, as we simply could not fit a family of three in it anymore. Our beloved travelpartner found a new home in Lapland, and it's adventures continue on in the North.🏔
For us one door closes, while another one opens. We are superexcited for the months ahead and looking forward to new van adventures to share with you.
Happy new year everyone! 🤩🤩🤩🤩

Happy independence day! So grateful for being able to roam free under the blue skies of Finland. Thankful for the veterans who fought for our freedom and made it possible.🇫🇮💙🇫🇮

On a dark November night like this, we're missing the sunny summer days in Latvia. The coastline there is amazing for vanlife! And we're lucky, since it's so close to Finland! 😄

Once upon a time in Norway... the sun was shining, there was a heatwave, and we took the canoe out for a spin on this incredibly colorful lake

Longing to be on the road again. We've come to understand, that our van simply is not functional for a family of three. Therefore, we are planning to scale up a bit, and search for a slightly larger travelpartner. The account has been quiet for a while, since we haven't been able to take any trips since summer. There is no safe place for our ever-so-active toddler to sleep anymore, and we can't figure out how to make the van work for us, withouth loosing too much living space. So for now, we'll have to start looking for a new van and post pictures from previous trips. Stay tuned!

Over 1000 followers! Thank you all for following us!! This account started out as a means to keep family and friends with us on our travels, now it has become a way to get in touch with other vanlife enthusiasts and travellers. When we started our vanlife journey in 2016 there weren't many of us out there on the road in Finland, let alone on social media. Today the van lifestyle is booming, and we are happy to see the community growing in Finland. We hope our journey has inspired others to take the leap into vanlife, and that we have left a small but permanent footprint in the finnish vanlife scene 😎

First few days on the road with the little one. He

First few days on the road with the little one. Here's a few thoughts so far. The van will be fuller than ever before. Even though we cut down on most of our stuff, there is so much baby gear taking up space. The tempo is waaaaay slower than before. We really need to contain ourselves and make sure we do not fit in too much in one day. Babies do not require much. As long as mommy and daddy are keeping up with entertaining the little one, she'll be happy wherever. Taking breaks is key, and keeping everyone fed will help keep up the good mood. Such a shame she won't remember any of this, but we're hoping she'll learn to love the van and the vanlifestyle eventually. 🥰

Ready for the next adventures 😍. On saturday we are heading to the Baltics. For us it is a new kind of adventure, because for the first time there will be three of us on a longer trip.

Thank you @sak.oy again for fixing our car. We can really recommend the repair shop. They have kept our wheels rolling since 2016 💪

Lazy days enjoying the beach at Jussarö Island. The mining on the island seized in the 60's, leaving behind a black beach made of stone and sand from the mines. A gorgeus place to feel the sea breeze and escape the heatwave :)

So many months inside the finnish borders has us itching for adventures abroad. Allthough we love the finnish nature and all the cool spots here, there's something extra special about experiencing a new country in our home on wheels. We are longing for that sense of freedom of hitting the road, reaching places we've never even heard of before. Places that we would have never experienced was it not for our beloved van. ❤

Feels like most of our storage space is taken up by gear for activities. Our must haves are our bikes, our kayak, hammock, snorkeling gear and mini bbq. What are yours?

Miten muitten pakuilijoitten kesäsuunnitelmat? Rullaako paku ulkomaille vai pysyttekö kotisuomessa metsien keskellä koronasuojassa? 🌲🌲🌲🌲 Meillä kova hinku etelään, mutta katsotaan pääseekö/uskaltaako lähteä.

Three years ago, this picture was the starting point of living in the van full-time for almost a year. A lot has happened since then, and we are dreaming about covid-free adventures ahead as a family of three. In the meantime, we decided it was time for some throwback pics and sharing fond memories of past travels. When you can't travel, you can always dream back to the days you could 😍

Happy new year everyone! 🍾Let's hope for a safe and healthy 2021! Our year will be very different from the previous, as there is one more person in our family. Not much has happened in terms of vanlife these past few months due to Covid-19 and a newborn in the house, but we are hoping to het back into vanning soon again! As the weather warms up, we will take our first overnight trips with the little one.👶 Exciting times ahead!
