I had an early start this morning to hitch a ride from the hotel driver to town so I can do a Husky ride! Insert excitement of hanging with dogs for a few hours here. The hotel will make you a takeaway breakfast bag but you have to request it and get it from reception…

Day 5-A day in the life of a 40 year old kid in Finland

I was awakened by warm berry juice from the hotel staff at my wake up call time. Warm berry juice seems to be a thing they do in Finland because they offer it everywhere! I undid my warm cocoon and put my feet into my freezing boots and headed to the warm locker room to…
