Welcome to my blog about Finnish countryside, nature and smaller cities!
I am Alexander from Vaasa, Finland, and my main hobby is exploring this wonderful country and writing about it. I've visited all its cities, national parks and many other places and local sights. And I'm writing about them here. And sometimes about the neighboring countries too :)
I'm originally from Russia and I moved to Finland only in 2017. I am however absolutely against the war in Ukraine; Ukraine must win and Russia must lose and disintegrate. I am a citizen of Finland, I value that very highly, this is my home and where all my sympathies and loyalties lie, and Russia is threatening my home here now. I do not visit Russia anymore and have no ties with it.
I was traditionally mostly writing in Russian but no longer see a real need for this, and decided to switch to English as a default language for new content again. Unfortunately most of my posts from 2021-2022 aren't currently available in English. Some things I translate also into Finnish, but this is a considerable effort to make.
