Did you know that there are several accommodation

Did you know that there are several accommodation options in Giza with stunning views to the Pyramids of Giza?🤩When planning our trip in Egypt, we decided to stay in Giza instead of Cairo, and ended up booking a place right next to the pyramids. There are several hotels, hostels, guest houses, restaurants and cafes with rooftop terraces and great views to the pyramids.We stayed in a small, new hotel @pyramidsonthespotview and simply loved the view! When having the first breakfast on the roof, we almost had to pinch ourselves to believe that the situation was actually real, the pyramids were so close and looked so stunning in the morning light. Also the sunset views were spectacular, and in addition we could watch the famous sound and light show from the roof too😍We don't usually do much guided tours, but decided to book a tour to the Pyramids of Giza, Saqqara necropolis and Memphis from the hotel. The day was great, and we had a brilliant Egyptologist as a guide.This was not a paid promotion, but just a travel tip if you are planning to visit Cairo / Giza!#finnsaway #nomadlife #travelblog #travelbloggers #locationindependent #digitalnomads #digitalnomadlife #nomadiclife #travelforlife #travelphotography #travelinspiration #instatravel #egypt #gizapyramids #visitegypt

Throwback to Egypt with snapshots from the streets

Throwback to Egypt with snapshots from the streets of (the pyramids area of) GizaCamels, horse and donkeys are a common sight on the narrow streets of the pyramids area of Giza. Camel rides are advertised for tourists as a great way to explore the Giza necropolis, and horse-drawn carriages are used as a taxi both by tourists and locals. Donkeys are used by locals to move around different kinds of cargo🐫🫏🐎We are generally against animal tourism, and even if it was quite tempting to take a camel ride around the pyramids, we refused. We also didn't want to support the horse taxi business, as the it's not certain that the horses are well-kept. This is bit controversial though, since the animals are fed with the money that the drivers get from the rides. However, photographing the animals doesn't harm anyone, and especially the camels are a beautiful sight, somehow these big fellows manage to look lofty and gentle at the same time😍#finnsaway #nomadlife #travelblog #travelbloggers #locationindependent #digitalnomads #digitalnomadlife #nomadiclife #travelforlife #travelphotography #travelinspiration #instatravel #egypt #gizapyramids #visitegypt

Greetings from Egypt!🤩 Our travels in this wond

Greetings from Egypt!🤩 Our travels in this wonderful country started from Giza, a bustling city right next to Cairo, famous for the ancient pyramids of Giza. The largest of the pyramids, the Great Pyramid of Giza, is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.The pyramids of Giza are simply a majestic sight, and it remains a mystery how these gigantic stone structures were actually built. The Giza pyramid complex is the most well-known and most popular tour destination in the Greater Cairo, but there are several other super interesting archaeological areas.We took a tour to the Giza pyramids, Saqqara necropolis and the ruins of Memphis. All three sites are full of history and consist of several sights. We especially loved our tour in Saqqara, where we got to admire the amazing wall decorations and hieroglyphs inside one of the pyramids (the Pyramid of Unas) as well as inside a tomb (the tomb of Idut).The wonders of ancient Egypt cannot be described, they must be experienced and seen with your own eyes. However, of course we tried to capture the beauty in photos and here are some photos from our tour.1-3 Giza Pyramids

A throwback to October and the first week of Novem

A throwback to October and the first week of November with a small picture collection from northern and central Europe. After the road trip in the Balkan countries, we made a two weeks visit to our home country Finland, and stayed for a while in Tallinn in Estonia as well as in Warsaw and Toruń in Poland.The main reason to visit Warsaw was related to our craft beer blog (we visited the wonderful Warsaw Beer Festival), but Toruń was a totally new destination for us. It's a wonderful, historic city with handsome architecture, including old city walls with part of the gates and towers still intact. It's also the home town of Nikolaus Kopernikus, and the home of gingerbread biscuits!From Toruń we continued via Berlin to Alsace region in France. This area by the German border is dear to us, and it was great to return again, to visit friends and to admire the beauty of the old villages surrounded with vineyards. Then it was time to say goodbye to the camper van for the winter, and to head to warmer destinations outside Europe.As you may have seen in stories, we have arrived in Egypt, and are exploring the wonders of the ancient Egypt in Giza and Cairo - posts from here will follow soon!🤩1) In Tallinn Old Town in Estonia
2) Visiting Rovaniemi, Finland
3) Kaunas Castle, Lithuania
4) In the Warsaw Beer Festival
5) Royal Łazienki Park, Warsaw, Poland
6) Old Town Hall of Toruń and the statue of Kopernikus
7) Toruń has Hanseatic heritage
8) Medieval Mostowa Gate, Toruń
9) Reunion with Pixel in Berlin
10) Always a pleasure to visit Alsace#finnsaway #nomadlife #travelblog #travelbloggers #locationindependent #digitalnomads #digitalnomadlife #nomadiclife #travelforlife #travelphotography #travelinspiration #instatravel #roadtrip

One of the highlights of our stay in Slovenia, or

One of the highlights of our stay in Slovenia, or actually of the whole road trip in the Balkan countries, was a hike on top of Veliki Draški peak in September. This mountain peak (2243 m) in Triglav National Park in the Julian Alps offers stunning views towards Triglav, the highest peak of Slovenia!🤩Veliki Draški is rather easy to reach, and the hike up is super scenic, if the weather is clear. We started from the parking lot of Hotel Center in Goreljek, and the walk up took only couple of hours. The hike along well marked paths was mostly easy; only the final ascent from Studorski Preval pass to the peak is a bit more challenging and maybe not for those with fear of heights, but there is also another, easier path to the peak.This amazing day hike left us with a desire to make a multi-day hike in Triglav National park, hopefully already next summer. It's an amazingly beautiful area with rugged peaks, green valleys and turquoise rivers and lakes💚💙#finnsaway #nomadlife #travelblog #travelbloggers #locationindependent #digitalnomads #digitalnomadlife #nomadiclife #travelforlife #travelphotography #travelinspiration #instatravel #roadtrip #hiking #mountains #hikingadventures #visitslovenia

Hi there!👋 We are back online after a few weeks

Hi there!👋 We are back online after a few weeks break in posting stuff. This wasn't really a planned break, we were mostly just too busy with other projects and travels. But now we are here again, so let's jump back to Balkans for a moment, before revealing travel plans for the winter months!🤩Our long summer road trip in Balkans ended where it started, in lovely Slovenia!💚 We did another house-sit in Bohinj area in September, and shortly visited also cities like Ljubljana, Maribor, Kamnik, Brežice and Nova Gorica. Our travels in Slovenia were mostly craft beer related (for those interested in beer, there is plenty of posts about Slovenian microbreweries in @craft.beer.nomads account), but we also did some sightseeing and drove around the country along the winding countryside roads.Slovenia has become one of our favorite countries in Europe, and we will for sure be back to explore more in coming years! In the pictures a small collection from around Slovenia, and more will follow in the blog - it is a super beautiful country with stunning nature, charming towns and friendly people!🥰In the next post we'll share some snapshots from the Julian Alps, a stunning mountain range in northwestern Slovenia!😍Have you traveled in Slovenia, or would you like to?1) Ljubljana is a wonderful destination for a city holiday
2) Kamnik is a small, historic town right next to the Kamnik-Savinja Alps
3) A cute "love bench" in Brežice by the Croatian border
4) Maribor in Lower Styria is the second-largest city in Slovenia
5) Swans are a common sight on (and by) the Drava river in Maribor
6) View towards the Bohinj Lake from "our village" in Triglav National Park
7) Our neighbors in Bohinj saying hello!
8) September was beautiful on the mountains
9) We were taking care of chickens, but then these three showed up
