Would you be a proud #Estonian farmer? I like to think I’d be, but experience suggests otherwise... gotta say, my quotas are pretty bad. #🏚 • #makeyourquota #matchbox #estonia #cccp #sovietpropaganda #soviet #communism #communist #estonianssr #ussr #postussr #sovietregime #propaganda #matchboxart #kgbprisontallinn #visittallinn #🇪🇪 #👩‍🌾

Just a moment of #fern for you. • #loveferns #fernobsession #iniö #scandi #greenthings #turkuarchipelago #ferns #natureisgood #wildfinland #thisisfinland #scandinaviannature #fernlife #natureloversofinstagram #plantpeople #loveplants #plantlife #botanicallife #naturelovers_united #momentofzen #livenature #naturevids #🌿 #💚

Turku was fun - a small port town that comes alive during the day when cruise and ferry tourism boosts the population. Arriving late on a Sunday night was another story: thank goodness for #Rkioski which is pretty much a Finnish 7-11. Dinner that night was a “gas station sandwich” (surprisingly good)... Fast forward to the following weekend, after returning from the bike trip, when the daytime market was in full swing. Late August is a gorgeous time for produce and there was no lack of selection among berries, mushrooms, sunflowers, gourds and just about everything else (including hand woven rug beaters, which is 100% awesome). • #farmersmarket #farmersmarketfinds #freshberries #currants #turku #finland #travelfood #travelgram #finnishfood #eatlocal #farmfresh #travelingfoodie #colorgram #mytravelgram #harvest #farmersmarketinspo #foodiegram #wildfood #redberries #ig_food #tastetherainbow #marketsquare #epicurean #mushrooms #seabuckthorn #berrylove #foodobsession #harvesttime

One thing I was most excited about on this trip was getting to hike some mossy, boggy, mucky areas. We don’t have many places in the states where elevated trails are needed - it’s just not that wet in the majority of the US. Maybe walking on boards is a silly goal, but I was super thrilled to know I’d have the opportunity in #scandinavia and so far Sweden hasn’t disappointed. Estonia: you’re next! • #bogwalk #mosslove #thisissweden #hike #boardwalk #walktheplank #naturreservat #stockholm #daytrip #nature_good #instahike #optoutside #lowa #hikeordie #doeverything #lovenature #hikingadventures #travelstoke #natureporn #livetoexplore #hikelikeagirl #travelblogger #hikingboots #didit #girlswhoadventure #passionpassport #greenworld #🗺 #🌿

Let’s take this moment to marvel at a breakfast buffet that includes husk cherries... and at the restraint I exercised by not shoveling the entire bowl onto my plate. • #stockholm #huskcherries #huskcherry #strangefruit #cardamombuns #kardemumma #swedishfood #ig_breakfast #worldcuisine #freshfruit #traveleats #foodpicsforfoodies #travelerlife #vacationfood #boutiquehotel #brunchstyle #nomnom #instagoodness #breakfastporn #plating #travelbloggeres #breakfastlife #globalfood #breakfastgram #🥐 #☕️ #🇸🇪

This little spot was at the end of a grassy, well-marked “barefoot path.” More than happy to kick off my shoes and leave them behind, I followed the trail through apple trees, a wheat field, past a mossy brook... and then things took a turn when the cool grass became a gravel path. Which then became a rockier gravel path, which then of course became a somehow sharper and rockier gravel path. The feet survived, I relearned a lesson for the eight billionth time, and serene dock views were enjoyed. • #wearshoes #korppoo #dockside #thisisfinland #finnisharchipelago #ig_explore #travel #instatravel #travelgram #tourism #instago #passportready #travelblogger #ilovetravel #livetotravel #instatravelling #instavacation #travelblogger #instapassport #postcardsfromtheworld #traveldeeper #travelstoke #travelling #trip #traveltheworld #igtravel #getaway #travelblog #instago #travelpics #tourist #wanderer
