FinnsAway blog – nomad life and travel adventures
Welcome to the travel site of a Finnish nomad couple, that has been traveling the world full time since 2017. With our travel stories we want to inspire people to travel independently and with an open mind, and to see the wonderful world also off the beaten path. We write destination guides and also open up the financial side of digital nomad life, sharing all our expenses to prove that traveling the world for long-term can be done with low budget.
We work location independently, and often stay a bit longer in one location, doing house- and pet-sitting. When not working, we enjoy hitting the hiking trails and running, as well as learning and blogging about local craft beers. We have traveled in more than 90 countries so far, and still want to keep exploring the world more!
Dive in the blog and find new destinations for your next travels, and maybe even inspiration to plan a longer trip around the world, or to start your own journey as a digital nomad some day!
For our Finnish followers; check out also our Finnish blog about life as digital nomads, Elämää Nomadina!
