Have you heard about the Game of Thrones snow village yet? When we say “snow village“, we aren’t kidding or making it up: such a thing exists and it’s even more magnificent than you could ever […]

One of the most anticipated movies of 2019 didn’t disappoint. We loved every second of Captain Marvel: the incredible lovable characters, the pace and the rhythm, the tear-jerking tributes to Stan Lee and the subtle, yet […]

In the past six months, I’ve become familiar with Hotel Rantapuisto thanks to several photography gigs and other work related visits. But this Helsinki design hotel is much more than just a nice spot for photos […]

Here, watch it first, we’ll talk after. Thoughts? We are pretty much speechless. We both got on the GoT wagon a little late, but BOY, what a ride it’s been ever since. It’s no wonder this […]

People often think we’re a couple. We travel almost everywhere together, spend a lot of time at the same events and same circle of friends and constantly tag each other in social media posts. Maybe even […]

We usually travel together with Satu. We like each other’s company and most times than not, our travels are related and pretty much built around Fangirl Quest. Filming locations, collaborations with tourism authorities and local hotels, […]

A few months ago we joined our friends at FOX Finland for the magnificent pop culture event that is Stockholm Comic Con. Aside from meeting Mads Mikkelsen (😍😍😍!), we spent several fun filled days among our […]

It’s kind of weird how we react to the destinations we travel to. Some cities we like: we come back telling our friends about all the nice cafes, interesting things to see, the museums we visited […]

Today we’re thinking about CARDIFF, WALES! It’s one of our favorite TV cities in the world and the place where our whole crazy Fangirl Quest journey began back in 2013. We were both unemployed and/or working […]

I recently spent a day on film set along with (I can’t believe I’m actually saying this) Donald Trump. Also present in the stunning, several-thousand-euros-per-night hotel suite were ol’ Donald’s trusty aides, a bunch of filmmakers and […]

Hotel Oscar in Varkaus welcomed us earlier this fall on a cold Monday with our car full photography gear. On our way from Helsinki we tried to remember if either one of us had ever been […]

Did you know that there’s a city in Georgia where vampires roam freely and dine in fancy restaurants? Where vampire brothers form alliances with the locals and werewolves defend their ancient territories fiercely? Well, at least […]

For space nerds such as ourselves, Kennedy Space Center is quite a treat. Astronauts, training simulators, rockets, shuttles and an endless amount of historical titbits, stories, space equipment and close-up looks at mankind’s greatest space achievements. After Damien […]

I felt nervous, excited and a little overwhelmed all at the same time. We were driving down the narrow roads in Northern Ireland, following a massive horse truck somewhere near Downhill Beach. It was a stunning […]

UPDATE Nov 23rd: Ok, I’ve managed to build the site back up with a new layout!! There’s still a lot of work to do to make everything smooth & pretty, but at least the content is […]
