Helsinki Hangover & Bella arrives

Here’s a smoother version of your Hangover! I stayed out too late, had a few too many nice drinks with some new Finnish friends, and barely got any sleep before waking up way too early.

Bella was arriving at 12:30, so I managed to drag myself out in time to get my best hangover remedy, fresh orange juice and coffee. Luckily, that was easy to find in Helsinki.

We met at a café and chatted for a while before bringing Bella’s stuff to our Airbnb. After that, we went shopping at one of my favorite secondhand stores, UFF on Fredrikinkatu.

After trying on way too many things, we left empty-handed but overloaded. We needed some fresh air and didn’t find anything this time, but we still have plenty of shopping days ahead.

Eventually, we ended up at the Moomin store, playing around with glitter makeup until we got kicked out at closing time.

To wrap up the day, we grabbed some sushi and were more than ready for a cozy night in bed, since neither of us had slept much.Read more
