Instagram and spending summer in Helsinki

Recently I also added an Instagram account where it's more convenient to post travel pictures, check it out here. I spent the week back in beautiful Helsinki. It's really gorgeous to see during the summer. Riding the train seeing the rocks, and the landscape of endless green pine trees.

During the summer period Helsinki always blossoms with the period of the summer festivals. This time I was a little bit early and most of the festival activities I had to miss out on. However when I walked out to the harbor I saw an open market. It was a clear blue sky, the sun was shining, about 25 degrees.

That day was pure heaven. I used the Helsinki eye and look out far on the vanishing points to be astonished by the beauty of the ocean.

Travel equipment 101

If you travel frequently it can be an advantage to get some good equipment, but also a very important thing to look into is a continuous travelers insurance. Travel insurance can come in various shapes and sizes. My personal one is with my bank, which covers about 2000-3000 euro in equipment, and I have some options for healthcare, flight cancellation. But it's also very useful to invest in some actual travel equipment. Personally when I started traveling frequently I looked into getting a RFID Proof wallet and I got this organization pack for my suitcase   This is a tremendous help in letting me organize everything tidy because when I open my suitcase otherwise everything falls out like chaos. Another thing I never leave without is my solar powerbank on long flights back and forth to Asia.
