The objective of ”Elämänmakuisia matkoja” travel blog is
- to give information and describe my experiences in different destinations, countries and cultures
- to entertain and inspire to find new, interesting destinations
- to brighten everyday life with beautiful sceneries.
I prefer traveling to destinations with beautiful nature and surroundings, with sea (or a lake) and possibilities to swim nearby. I often choose locations I haven’t visited before. Safety is important to me. We travel mostly in Europe and nearby, sometimes further away as well. I prefer smaller, idyllic and more local destinations to those with mass tourism. I mostly travel with my family (my kids are between 15 and 21 years), or a part of the family, and sometimes also for work.
I want to live and travel responsibly and environmentally friendly. For instance, I do compensate for our flight emissions, prefer local services, avoid unnecessary consumption and have minimized eating meat.
