As it wasn’t sure if I could travel abroad this summer, I planned a road trip to the west coast of Finland with a friend who lives in Oulu.

First leg is to travel to Tampere by train. We will arrive at Tampere almost at the same time. Today, we will stay at Tampere and enjoy Roof walk and nice dinner. Tampere is not on the west coast but it’s a good location for us to get by train and start a road trip. I’m excited about the trip and prepared to enjoy all!

Less is more. As to packing, I don’t want to carry a big luggage. So again, I packed everything I need for one week neatly in the carry-on size suitcase. Waterproof hiking shoes, a wind & waterproof jacket, a beanie, a laptop, a book, seven sets of T-shirt and underwear, an umbrella, cosmetics, swimsuit, a bit nicer clothes, yoga mat, yoga belt, etc.
