travellerkid asked: Hey Seattle (: I really love your blog, tumblr, facebook etc. That's really inspiring for me as I'm also crazy about traveling and discover other places/cultures. After having read your article about Helsinki, I decided to go there and spend the week by myself, also to get over my fear of being alone. But, I just wanted to ask you, where in Helsinki were you spending the nights, in a hostel, or hotel ? Were you alone or with someone ? Thank you, xxx

Hey, thanks! That’s awesome, I love to hear that people actually go and travel to the places that I write about :D

Most of my trips these days (including Helsinki) are press trips, so they tend to put me up in hotels, which is a bit different than the usual hostels I stay at.

But, yes, I was by myself—and I love traveling alone. I’m so glad that you got to experience solo travel as well!
