Planning

  • I traveled Finland on a backpacking trip through North-Eastern Europe with the Baltic States. I flew from Germany to Tampere, which I explored by bicycle. The train continued to Helsinki, where I made trips to Suomenlinna and the Helsinki Zoo. Then I went by ferry to Tallinn (Estonia).
