The Letter of the Month

We have passed over one thousand on the visits to our blog! Wow! Thanks to all.

We also would like to thank you all for the nice comments you have been sending us regarding our blog – in either directly here, Facebook, Couchsurfing profile or email. Keep on posting, and asking questions.

A few answers here in public. Many have been asking how we can afford to travel for so long. Truth is, that we cant. So if you know a way to make money while traveling, please tip us… (and yes, I WILL write articles, thank you for asking).

Weather has been so far surprisingly cold and rainy. So Virve, woolen socks wouldnt have been a bad idea at all, but I thought I leave Finland to go to warmer climate. Well, you cant get it all.

The most beautiful places so far have been Burano (in Venice), Lucca, Siena and San Gimignano. And I fell for Rome today, but more about that later.

Pictures of our new hair cuts will be published (as well as other new photos and videos) shortly.

And then, last but not least, I would like to publish the message we loved the most so far. Its from total strangers to us, a couple living in Veneto area, and we were highly touched by this.

“Hei,
Usually I/we don’t do this, but after reading your profile how you met, where you met, what you do and
where you live, etc; I have to say this: if you guys ever end up around here, where we live- you
know that you’d be welcome in our home, not only for a couch :)

Maiku, humble and amazed.
