Finland – STRAYLIGHT Travel

"I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move."

A few photos I captured along the way – mostly in checkpoint cities.

A highlight of this year’s race was our crossing from Sweden to Finland.

A second race across Europe, this time heading north instead of south.

Photos from my architecture-heavy tour of the Finnish capital.

Dining is rarely a focus of my trips, but in Helsinki I enjoyed several excellent meals.

Helsinki offers many remarkable buildings, but three stood out as highlights of my visit.

For this year’s biggest adventure, I chose an ambitious destination.
