August in Finland 🧡We had wonderful time in o August in Finland 🧡We had wonderful time in our home country, visiting family and friends in different parts of the country, and soon it's time for new adventures abroad!🤩When looking at the photo album, it seems that we didn't take much pictures or videos during the month, but maybe that just tells that we were focusing on meeting people and enjoying the summer wholeheartedly. But here some memories of the beautiful summer of Finland 💚Sunday reel 36 / 2025#finnsaway #nomadlife #digitalnomads #travelforlife #travelphotography #travelinspiration #instatravel #locationindependent #visitfinland
Romsdalstrappa is a scenic hiking trail in Åndals Romsdalstrappa is a scenic hiking trail in Åndalsnes, western Norway, leading to the Rampestreken viewpoint at 537 meters above sea level. This viewpoint is a 20-meter long steel ramp, with the last 8 meters extending straight into the air.The viewpoint is the most popular place to enjoy stunning views of Åndalsnes, the Romsdalsfjord, and the surrounding mountains, but you can also continue further up – during our visit in July there was a long queue to the platform, so we headed up on top of Nesaksla mountain instead, and the views, especially towards the Romsdalen valley, just kept getting better!🤩The trail to the viewing platform and the mountain peaks is relatively short, but the ascent is quite steep, and features both sections of stone steps and sections with rocky paths and tree roots. Wear comfy shoes and bring water and some snacks to best enjoy this beautiful trek! If the ascent feels too demanding, there is also the option to take a cable car up to the mountains.#finnsaway #nomadlife #visitnorway #romsdalstrappa

Moments from along a road trip from Sweden and Nor Moments from along a road trip from Sweden and Norway. After ferry crossing from Helsingør in Denmark to Helsingborg, we drove north towards Norway.The first actual destination on this leg was Oslo, the modern capital of Norway. We visited on a lovely, hot summer day, and there was huge amount of people in the city center as well as swimming in the sea right next to it.We drove further northwest past Lillehammer, and stayed for a night in Brumunddal. After visiting friends near the Rondane National Park, we followed the turquoise Gudbrandsdalslågen river towards Åndalsnes.Sunday reel 34 / 2025#finnsaway #nomadlife #digitalnomads #travelforlife #nomadiclife #travelinspiration #roadtrip
Throwback to the sunny streets of Helsingør with Throwback to the sunny streets of Helsingør with these random pics from the medieval old town and the Culture Yard just next to it by the harbor.Helsingør, also known as Elsinore, is an 800-year-old market town, and home to the Hamlet-famous Kronborg castle. The small historical center is a lovely place for a short stroll along atmospheric, cobbled streets lined with colorful houses.#finnsaway #nomadlife #visitdenmark #visithelsingør
The UNESCO-listed Kronborg castle in Helsingør, D The UNESCO-listed Kronborg castle in Helsingør, Denmark is one of the most important Renaissance castles in Northern Europe.  It was immortalised as Elsinore in William Shakespeare's play Hamlet, and is a very popular tourism destination in this old coastal city.The castle's history dates back to a stronghold, Krogen, built by King Eric VII in the 1420s. Along with the fortress Kärnan in Helsingborg, on the opposite coast of Øresund, it controlled the entrance to the Baltic Sea. From 1574 to 1585, King Frederick II had the medieval fortress radically transformed into a magnificent Renaissance castle.Hamlet was first staged at Kronborg in 1816, in commemoration of the 200th anniversary of Shakespeare's death.Sunday reel 33 / 2025#finnsaway #nomadlife #digitalnomads #travelforlife #nomadiclife #instatravel #travelinspiration #kronborgcastle #visitdenmark
A tip for Sjælland island in Denmark; a visit to A tip for Sjælland island in Denmark; a visit to Vallø Castle park in Køge!This handsome castle, with a beautiful, large English landscape -style park with green lawns and groups of old trees, is a great destination for a day trip from Copenhagen. The current castle, that dates back to the 16th century, consists of four wings with towers, and is surrounded by a moat. The architecture is a mix of Gothic style and Baroque elements.In 1708 Vallø was acquired by King Frederick IV who passed it on to Anne Sophie Reventlow. In 1731 King Christian VI passed the property on to Queen Sophia Magdalene who in 1737 founded the Noble Vallø Foundation for Unmarried Daughters. Owned by the foundation, the castle has served as a residence for unmarried, widowed and divorced women of noble descent.The castle park provides an elegant setting for the castle, and is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike for spending time in summer. The castle itself is not open to visitors, but it is allowed to visit the castle courtyard.#finnsaway #nomadlife #visitdenmark #valloecastle
The last stops of the road trip in Germany, before The last stops of the road trip in Germany, before continuing north to Denmark, were the Hanseatic city of Bremen, and Flensburg at the tip of the Flensburg Fjord.Bremen is a handsome, historic city, and of course home of the famous Bremen Town Musicians. The main sights include the magnificent, UNESCO-listed town hall, several majestic churches and the Schnoor quarter, Bremen’s oldest district. A walk along the old Böttcherstraße street combines impressive architecture, arts and culture.While Bremen is a well known and popular city, the small Flensburg in the north is more of a hidden gem. Our visit was very short, but we liked the atmosphere of the town, and the sunset by the fjord was beautiful. Located very close to the Danish border, Flensburg has somewhat Scandinavian feel, and it is a meeting point of German and Danish cultures.Sunday reel 32 / 2025#finnsaway #nomadlife #digitalnomads #travelforlife #nomadiclife #visitbremen #visitgermany
