I was fortunate to have time to explore Helsinki. The city and nearby islands are beautiful, giving a mix of urban and nature to enjoy and explore. The exploring, food, outdoor swimming asn sauna at Allas Pool and boat trips to Lonna were fantastic!

Paris, France
Paris is such a lovely city to wonder around, in various districts such as the 9th and 18th district, and by the Seine. I enjoyed brunch under the Eiffel Tower, dinner on a boat on the Seine as the sun set and visiting art and antiwue markets.
Paris (Amélie sets)
I visited locations in the brilliant film Amélie, including the cafe, the grocery store, the carousel, Basilique du Sacré-Cœur, the canal and a train station and photo booth, which was truely magical!
Barcelona, Spain
Barcelona is a lively, gorgeous city. I visited years ago, but have not had the time to explore.
Amsterdam, Netherlands
I had a winter trip to Amsterdam.
Mallorca
Mallorca is gorgeous. The waters were clear turquoise, white sand and bright terracotta coloured rock at the coves. We visited beaches and coves, swimming with fish. Our hotel was fantastic.
Treehouse, France
The treehouse was magical!
Copenhagen, Denmark
Copenhagen is a lovely and vibrant Scandinavian city. We walked, cycled and had a boat ride to get a taste of Copenhagen. The food was fantastic! I wish I had had more time in Copenhagen, but look forward to going back!
Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy
I was so pleased to be able to have a day trip, across the Italy-Slovenia boarder, to the Italian region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia. We stopped at Lago del Predil, a lake in the the Carnic Alps, and had food there in the sun. We stopped at a village on the way back to Slovenia too
Slovenia
Slovenia has incredibly beautiful nature. We stayed near Bled, in a cabin, looking out over mountains.
Croatia
Hvar, a popular island in Croatia, had been on my list for years, and I was thrilled to finally experience it. The water is bright clear turquoise, enjoyed from boats, exploring the surrounding areas. I also saw Split being visiting Krka National Park.
River, France
After staying in Nice, we traveled north for a long walk up the river, stopping for a packed lunch and to swim at various spots. The blue-green water was beautiful.
Nice, France
I enjoyed being back in Nice. This time, hiring a sun bed on one day, to relax and swim.
Sardinia, Italy
Sardina was beautiful. We stayed at a friend’s property on the east side, enjoying visits to coves, beaches and towns. The clear water and pale sands were gorgeous
