Holidays in Finland | PART TWO















This is part two of the Finland photos! Featuring flowers at the botanical garden in Helsinki, celebrating my birthday with bowling and champagne, going to the Särkänniemi amusement park in Tampere while we were visiting my father and his family, going for a dip in the lake in Hämeenlinna and climbing up to enjoy the sights at Aulangon Näkötorni, and finishing off the 10 days with going to the Jamaican Independence party, having some lunch at Hernesaaren ranta and having some quality bonding time with my cat while waiting for the bus at the Frankfurt airport. 
I have also started my Youtube channel! Go check out my first video, a travel vlog from our adventures in Finland! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY9emTkekqY

Voici la deuxième partie des photos de Finlande! Nous avons admiré les fleurs au jardin botanique de Helsinki, célébré mon anniversaire en faisant un bowling en famille et en buvant du champagne, nous avons été au parc d'attraction Särkänniemi à Tampere avec mon père et sa famille, nous avons été se baigner dans le lac à Hämeenlinna (l'eau était gelée!) et nous sommes montés tout en haut de Aulangon Näkötorni et nous avons fini les 10 jours de vacances à la fête d'indépendance de la Jamaique, et en déjeunant à  Hernesaaren ranta. Pour finir j'ai passé un petit moment avec mon chat à l'aéroport de Francfort en attendant le bus.
J'ai également commencé une chaîne YouTube! Tu peux aller voir ma première vidéo, un vlog de voyage sur la Finlande: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY9emTkekqY

Tässä toinen osa Suomi-kuvista! Kävimme Helsingin talvipuutarhassa, juhlittiin mun synttäreitä keilauksella perheen kanssa ja myöhemmin kuoharilla hotellihuoneessa, käytiin myös Särkänniemessä Tampereella isäni ja hänen perheensä kanssa, käytiin myös uimassa Hämeenlinnassa (vesi oli k-y-l-m-ä-ä) ja mentiin myös ylös Aulangon Näkötornille ihailemaan maisemia. 10 päivän loma loppui nopeasti, vikana iltana käytiin Jamaikan itsenäisyyspäivän juhlissa, ja seuraavana päivänä ennen lentoa käytiin Hernesaaren rannassa lounaalla. Frankfurtin lentokentällä kisu ei jaksanut enää olla kärsivällinen, joten otettiin se häkistä ulos ja käveltiin vähän ympäriinsä :)
Aloitin myös YouTube kanavan! Voit käydä kattomassa ekan videon, matkavlogin Suomen matkasta: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY9emTkekqY

Holidays in Finland | PART ONE





















We just got back on Friday from an awesome 10-day holiday in Finland. This was the only holiday I got to take this summer, but it was definitely worth it to spend the time back home. Seeing my family and some of my friends (unfortunately I didn't have time to see all of them and some of them were not in Finland) was so so relaxing and I got to introduce them to my boyfriend as well! 
These are photos of the first half of our holiday (there are so many that I didn't want to fit them in just one post, this one already contains a lot of pictures), where we arrived, went for some personnalized Magnum ice cream, hung out with kittens and friends and family, had drinks and food, celebrated our anniversary and enjoyed the sights in Helsinki. 

Wedding season








Wedding season is upon us! This year I had the chance to go to my boyfriend's oncle's wedding just north of Paris, in the beautiful French countryside. Unfortunately the weather was not the best, but the evening was still amazing. Not only did I get to eat all the delicious Réunion food, I also got to meet almost all of my boyfriend's family, which was absolutely wonderful. Family first -my own AND my new one.

Tallinn: walking around down town
















As I mentioned in my last post, my job does sometimes have its perks. This means that I sometimes get to travel, and two weeks ago I got to go to Tallinn on business. I've been there quite a few times before due to the obvious closeness to my natal home of Helsinki, Finland, but I've also had the chance to go there on business quite a lot in the past 15 months I've worked for the company that currently employs me. I was able to go for a walk and some dinner on a Friday evening in the nice sunny nothern weather they had going on, here are a few snapshots I took along the way.
