#Helsinki is situated at the northeastern edge of the Baltic Sea between Sweden and Russia, drawing influence from both Western and Eastern European traditions.
Begin your #vacation #sightseeing. #Visit Suomenlinna Fortress which has protected the Gulf of Finland for almost 300 years. #Explore the many museums and galleries across the city, including the Helsinki Design Museum, featuring a permanent exhibition for great moments of Finnish design.

Uspenski Cathedral is built with dark bricks; it is powerfully conspicuous as it rises from the surrounding white granite of the Katajanokka district.
It’s not the sights alone that lure visitors from all over the world, it’s the people. See for yourself why Helsinki’s long-held reputation is that of one of the world’s happiest places.

As a former Big Four senior analyst, I’ve spent a number of years developing the ability analyze and interpret quantitative metrics. After successfully launching an international fitness boot camp tour across 3 cities in China, despite not being able to speak a lick of Chinese and while knee-deep in 55 hour work weeks at my firm, I had my ‘a-ha’ moment - I'm passionate about executing on multiple goals and projects while progressing with my career, and would love to help others do the same.

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started “travel hacking” & finally decided we wanted to travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016. We started this YouTube channel to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling! So we extended our 1 year trip to now FOUR years :) Now we have a goal of traveling to 100 countries before 2020! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)

Our second day started bright and early as we started exploring Helsinki on foot soon after waking up and eating breakfast. The cool breeze in the morning and lower temperatures made for ideal walking conditions; although, I'm sure Audrey would argue that point, as prefers warmer weather whereas I'm in my element when temperatures are hovering around twenty degrees of less ;)
We couldn't help but notice how quiet and empty the streets were this early in the morning. We could sometimes go an entire block or two with seeing a single other person. On our way to visit Uspenski Orthodox Cathedral, we noticed a park dedicated for dogs and their owners; naturally, as pet lovers, we went to check it out but the dogs weren't as pleased by our presence. This distinct landmark cathedral offers a fantastic vantage point overlooking downtown Helsinki.
From the cathedral we continued to the main train station where we would be meeting one of Audrey's Canadian friends from back home who is studying nursing in Finland. Along the way we walked by several stores selling Finnish souvenirs; several groups of performers entertained pedestrians including a a group busking.
Soon after meeting Audrey's friend, our focus shifted towards Finnish cuisine. Specifically we wanted to try eating Finnish Reindeer meatballs. As we approached Market Square, we noticed a change in atmosphere much different from the quiet neighborhood nearby our hotel. Finnish vendors were selling everything from trinkets to local delicacies. Meanwhile, a sea of people made their way up and down the rows gobbling up delectable delights, shopping and sitting down for coffee. Although the pace was definitely lively it was nowhere near as chaotic as some of the markets we've visited in Asia, such as Jonker Street Night Market in Malacca or the Shilin Market in Taipei.
How did the Reindeer meatballs taste? Well, they weren't nearly as distinct as they thought they would be. I have a lot of experience eating animal meat such as deer, elk and moose having grown up on Vancouver Island. I was expecting the Reindeer to have more of a pronounced and unique taste; however, it was rather nondescript, at least in the form of these meatballs, and I wouldn't have been surprised if somebody told me these were pork or chicken balls. I'm hoping to soon try Reindeer steak which I think may have more of a unique flavor.
Finally, we ended up coming back to Market Square for dinner where we ended up having the same thing; except this time we replaced the Reindeer meatballs with grilled salmon. If I had to choose between the two, the salmon would win hands down. I'm a huge salmon lover (it's probably one of my top 5 favorite foods) and this was grilled to perfection with each piece melting in my mouth.
Overall, our second day in Helsinki was very pleasant. Our plan is to do a bit of island hopping tomorrow along with a day trip to Tallinn, Estonia the following day. Although we don't actually have a lot of time left in Helsinki, I'm sure we'll make the most of it gormandizing on more salmon and hopefully some reindeer steak:
Meidän toinen päivä tutustuen Helsinki, Suomi annamme sinulle kiertue ympäri kaupunkia jotkut ehdottivat asioita keskustan alueella sekä vierailu Kauppatorilta maistella suomalaisia elintarvikkeita, mukaan lukien poro lihapullia, grillattua lohta, perunaa, vihanneksia ja valkosipuli kastike.

Turkey to FINLAND (our 90th country!)
Travel day! We flew from Istanbul, Turkey to Kemi, Finland (our 90th country!) with a [way too] short layover in Helsinki. We used our new cameras for the first time and couldn’t BELIEVE how much snow there was! It’s our first time in Lapland, and we are so excited for the adventures to be had in this gorgeous place.

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started “travel hacking” & finally decided we wanted to travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016. We started this YouTube channel to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling! So we extended our 1 year trip to now FOUR years :) Now we have a goal of traveling to 100 countries before 2020! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)
