Air guitar. We’ve all done it. Our favourite song comes on the radio and before we know it we’re strumming along with the best of them. My personal favourite is actually air drumming, but that’s a story for another day. The reason I bring it up is that Oulu, up on Finland’s north-west coast, is […]

It turns out that Walla Walla is in Washington State in the US, about four hours inland from Seattle, and there’s […]

I grew up on a […]
Visiting Iso Syote, Finland – A Complete Guide
