🪵🌞🥾It's been a good weekend for exploring in nature. In Finland, nature is near everywhere. Today is Kalevala Day, marking the anniversary of the publication of #Kalevala, compiled by Elias Lönnrot (1802-1884) from Finnish and Karelian oral folklore and mythology. The #Finnish national epic has inspired generations of artists and helped shape the nation’s identity. #thisisfinland #kalevaladay #finland #finnishculture #finnishnature #gotothewoods #nationalepic #turku #greatoutdoors #dinkgotravel #lähiluonto #urbannature #komoistenkummut #arkeologia #archeology #mythology #mytologia
🗓🗺 What happened four years ago? Well, 24. Februry 2017 we launched DINKgo - Travel Stories Worth Sharing. To document & cherish our own travel memories, to share tips, to inspire and get inspired. Travel and hospitality is part of our life professionally and personally, world is truly our oyster.
❄️Micro adventures and appreciation of the special things of your own hoods can absolutely be a good alternative to long haul stuff that can't happen these days. ❄️What's special in this particular photo? 1) What you see is River Aura, an essential feature of our city historically, culturally, economically, environmentally. There's always something new you can learn and experience here because of the river. 2) People walk and ski on the icy river. Winters like this are not frequent in this part of Finland. Being able to walk and ski on River Aura is exotic even for us locals. 3) Sun. Winter sun. That we never have too much, it does feel special. ❄️ This is the 4/10 of #matkakuvahaaste #travelphotochallenge ❄️ #kotimaanmatkailu #100syytämatkaillasuomessa #localtravel #visitturku #turunlähettiläät #turku #riveraura #aurajoki #talvi #winter #finland #discoverfinland #microadventure #localtravel
🌱Humble looking, hard working. Mangroves are extremely important to the coastal ecosystems they inhabit. Physically, they serve as a buffer between marine and terrestrial communities and protect shorelines from damaging winds, waves, and floods. 🌱The photo 3/10 of #matkakuvahaaste aka #travelphotochallenge was taken in #Belize three years ago today (13022018). For our estuary boat exploration we had a fantastic local guide who told us about the flora & fauna. Even saw some manatees. #travelmemories #travel #visitbelize #discoverbelize #caribbeansea #mangroves #ecotourism #flora #fauna #estuary #dinkgotravel #couplesthattravel
🐂🌝Happy CNY, it's the year of the ox and this is 2/10 of #travelphotochallenge aka #matkakuvahaaste 📷 In 2017 we visited Lantau Island of Hongkong and met these horned friends by the giant Tian Tan Buddha. It was a boiling hot day and the air smelled heavily of the dung 🐂 #cny #chinesenewyear2021 #chinesenewyear #lunarnewyear #travelmemory #lantauisland #tiantanbuddha #discoverhongkong #lovehongkong
📷 Thanks for the travel photo challenge, @tangeliini - here's photo 1/10 and as it's International Pizza Day, lets start with pizza 🍕We've tasted pizza around the world. You'd think this is an easy dish to master, but well... We have learned that there are the good, the bad and the ugly. And the simply divine ones. 🍕And obviously, people have different tastes. Thin crust or pan pizza? Various toppings or just a few? Are there ingredients that should be left out of topping options? 🍕We often eat our own, personal pizzas as our personal fave toppings are mostly not a match. However, as we looked for pizza photos we chose this one: as we visited Messina, Sicily 2018 we shared this simple, yet tasty pizza tonno e cipolla for lunch at Comparello Bello. A pizza that was a perfect for that particular moment, leaving a lasting memory. 🍕If you like, join the 10 days, 10 travel photos challenge and each day pass the #matkakuvahaaste challenge on, @sepposuomela 📸 😎#travelmemory #sicily #messina #pizza #travelphotochallenge #eataroundtheworld #foodmemories #couplesthattravel #dinkgotravel #italy #italia #pizzalover #internationalpizzaday #simpleisbeautiful #sharethelove #matkakuvahaaste
😍🍍Three years ago today in Cartagena, Colombia. No wonder”The Magic City” has inspired such creatives as the Nobel prize-winning writer giant, the wizard of magical realism, Gabriel García Márquez of Colombia. Established in 1533, the city of Cartagena hasn’t lost it’s charm and in 1984 the colonial, walled city & fortress were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.🍍 #travelmemories #cartagena #cartagenadeindias #magiccity #gabrielgarciamarquez #visitcolombia #discovercolombia #history #urbanphotography #unescoworldheritage #beautifuldestinations #oldcity #southamerica #cruiselife #cruisenorwegian #worldisouroyster
📿⚜️Traditional Mardi Gras parades in greater New Orleans in Jan & Feb have been cancelled for obvious reasons. But I love the attitude: the actual holiday isn't cancelled. Make sure to listen to the music. Eat the King Cake. Dress up & dance with family. "The Spirit of Mardi Gras lives on in New Orleans year round and keeps us going during this pandemic." Photo from our last trip to NOLA two years ago.⚜️🎭📿🎉 💜💛💚 #onlyinneworleans #onetimeinnola #neworleans #laissezlesbontempsrouler #louisiana #mardigras2021 #mardigras #vieauxcarre #frenchquarter #bourbonstreet #travelmemories #coupleswhotravel #dinkgotravel #streetlife #urbanphotography #sreetcorner #matkailu #onlylouisiana #feedyoursoul
