Life lately in France 😍🇫🇷For the past t Life lately in France 😍🇫🇷For the past three weeks we have stayed here in Alsace, and we can't stop admiring the beauty of this region, famous for the wine and old villages with half-timbered houses. Some of the historical towns and villages look like they are out of a fairytale, ad the endless vineyards and rolling hills around them are just so super scenic 💚Sunday reel 29 / 2025#finnsaway #nomadlife #digitalnomads #travelforlife #visitalsace
In mid June we returned to Europe, and to the love In mid June we returned to Europe, and to the lovely Alsace region of France 💙❤️Our flight from Sao Paulo landed in Madrid, from where we jumped to Lyon and then traveled to Colmar in Alsace by a bus. It was a long and tiring trip, and when we finally arrived in Colmar, it was 3 AM and we were super tired. But a walk in the historical center of Colmar in the middle of the night, while waiting for the local bus, was all that was needed to wake us up, this town is magical!😍We have been in Colmar several times, and it always a pleasure to walk along the old cobbled alleys, admiring the half-timbered houses, canals, bridges and flowers. During the summer season (and Christmas market time) Colmar is very popular, but when exploring it before and during the sunrise, we had it all for ourselves, just the moon was watching, before sun took it's place 🌙The seven months adventure in the Caribbean and South America was fantastic, but it feels super good to be back on our home continent! We have been able to settle down for a few weeks in a small village in the middle of the beautiful vineyards of Alsace - more about this wonderful area will follow soon! 💚#finnsaway #nomadlife #visitsalsace #colmar
Beco do Batman in Vila Magdalena neighborhood is p Beco do Batman in Vila Magdalena neighborhood is probably the best known area for street art and graffiti in Sao Paulo, and a great add to your city tour route!This small alley and it's surroundings is filled with colorful murals by local and international artists, that form an astonishing open air art gallery 😍The street art movement in started in the 1980s, when an unknown tagger covered a facade with a huge portrait of Batman. It gave its name to the neighbourhood, which translates to ‘Batman’s Alley’🦇.Nowadays Beco do Batman is a trendy tourist area, filled not only with street art, but also small restaurants, cafés and craft beer pubs, as well as street markets focusing on crafts like jewelry. Most of the Batman themed murals are painted over, but there is definitely a lot to see and do.Sunday reel 28 / 2025#finnsaway #nomadlife #travelforlife #visitsaopaulo
The last destination on our four months tour in So The last destination on our four months tour in South America was São Paulo, the largest city of Brazil. This bustling metropolitan area is home to over 22 million people, and forms the largest population center in the whole Southern Hemisphere.It is of course impossible to get to know such a huge city very well in just a few days, but we did do some sightseeing trips in different parts of it, like in the Centro, that is full of old architecture and administration buildings, Liberdade, that is also known as Japantown.We stayed in Vila Marina area, close to the huge Ibirapuera Park. This city park was opened in 1954 and is the most important urban park in the city, with a lot of activities and attractions.In this first picture dump snapshots from different parts of São Paulo:1) Sé Metropolitan Cathedral
2) On a sightseeing tour in the Centro
3) Municipal Theater of Sao Paulo and the Fountain of Glory, Order and Progress
4) Monument to the Immortal Glory of the Founders of São Paulo

These fellas must be the cutest inhabitants of the These fellas must be the cutest inhabitants of the Iguaçu National Park 😍These funny-looking guys
with fluffy tails are coatis, procyonids that live in Central and South America.The South American coati, also known as the ring-tailed coati or brown-nosed coati, is one of the coati 
species and a member of the raccoon family.Coatis live both on the ground and in trees, and they are known to be curious and courageous. They
are omnivorous but primarily eat fruit, invertebrates, other small animals, and bird eggs.The coatis that live at Iguazú Falls are used to lots of humans, and some of them even have developed a bad habit to try to steel food from the tourists that come to see the falls.#finnsaway #nomadlife #brazil #iguazufalls
Moments from Iguazu Falls, admiring the power and Moments from Iguazu Falls, admiring the power and beauty of this wonder of nature on the border of Brazil and Argentina 💚Sunday reel 27 / 2025#finnsaway #nomadlife #digitalnomads #travelforlife #brazil
Visiting Iguazu falls was one of the highlights of Visiting Iguazu falls was one of the highlights of our travels in Brazilia 🤩💚Iguazu falls in the Iguazu River, on the border between Brazil and Argentina, are one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world, simply stunning! The falls are a chain of hundreds of waterfalls, with total width of 2,7 km, roaring down 60 to 82 meters in a horseshoe form.On both sides of the border, the falls are located in the middle of rainforest and national park. We visited the falls in Brazilian side, in the Parque Nacional do Iguazu. On this side of the river, there is a scenic 1,5 km trail by the river, with wonderful panorama views of the falls 😍#finnsaway #nomadlife #brazil #iguazufalls
Paraguay is sort of a hidden gem in South America. Paraguay is sort of a hidden gem in South America. For some reason many travelers skip it during their tour around the continent, or only make a short visit to one of the border towns to "collect a country".It's true that there are no world-famous super-attractions in this land-locked country, but Paraguay does have a lot to offer for travelers, from old cities with historic areas and modern neighborhoods to stunning riverside beaches and jungles.The capital city Asunción offers a mix of colonial architecture in the partly ramshackle old center and modern city life in the newer parts. Founded in 1537 along the Paraguay River, Asuncion is oldest cities of South America, and nowadays there are roughly 525,000 people in the city itself and over 2 million in the metropolitan area.The landmark buildings of the historic district of Asunción include Palacio de Los López, the neoclassical presidential palace, Metropolitan Cathedral and Casa de la Independencia, that serves as a museum.One of the main sights is the Playa de La Costanera beach by Bahia de Asunción. It may be not as beautiful as Playa San José in Encarnación, but it's a popular place for recreation and spending family time especially on weekends. It's also possible to take boat trips to the bay, which is known for its birdlife.#finnsaway #nomadlife #visitparaguay
