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 […]

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 […]

What makes a good hotel stay? Is it the location, friendly staff, great beds, cleanliness, unique decor or a wide arrange of services available? What’s the most important thing to you when traveling a lot for work […]

The alarm goes off at 4:45am and the instant reaction is to throw the phone against the wall and go back to sleep. But after a moment of staring blankly at the screen, angrily asking myself […]

One of the biggest tragedies of our travels is that whenever we get to stay in a nice hotel, it’s usually just to sleep for a few hours. We rarely get to enjoy all the amenities […]

Oh, it’s that beautiful time of the album release cycle again: Poets of the Fall‘s stunning new album “Ultraviolet” is out (get yours here!) and it’s time for them to hit the road with the new […]

Comic Con Stockholm is the biggest and brightest star of the Nordic convention scene. With 30,000 visitors over three days, it is the largest pop culture event in the Nordic countries. This year, we got to […]

Last night me and Satu attended the screening of #TAKEMEANYWHERE, a roadtrip film by the artist trio Shia LaBeouf, Nastja Rönkkö and Luke Turner. The artists themselves joined the Helsinki International Film Festival event and answered some […]

One of the greatest movies of all times is celebrating its 20th birthday right about now, so it’s quite amazing that we got to stand on some of the locations used in the movie exactly two […]
