Helsinki & Turku Food Diary
When it comes to food, my heart beats faster than standing in front of some department stores or designer shoes. After my Travel Diary from Helsinki as well as Turku from Finland, I am very happy to show you the places I, or let’s say my stomach, fell in love with. Please enjoy my Food Guide/Food Diary from both cities and let me know what you think! Love, Alice.
