WAVEJourney’s Adventures in Finland’s Archipelago
Biking Day with Ulrika Ström in Finland’s Archipelago
I’m a water baby. I celebrate my birthday in the summer month of July and it is my personal mandate to be on/in the water to mark “my day” each year. I also revel in remoteness, the out-of-the-way charm of a not-so-well-known destination. Throw in some tranquility and you’ve got my definition of paradise. Well Happy Birthday to me 2012, because I found it! And hello to Finland’s Archipelago.
