In 1999 Andrea and I spent a semester at the University of Illinois. We used every chance to travel and explore the continent. In summer 2000 we visited our friend Arto in Finland and explored Finland and Norway up to the northernmost point, the North Cape.

On my page you'll find a brief compendium of our journeys, illustrated with photos from the places we visited.

It's not intended to provide an in-depth coverage, rather to share our personal experiences and ideas. Detailed geographical information can be found on the net, but I found just a few pages sharing personal, non-commercial information.

Enjoy your virtual journey!
