A great big thank you to each and every one of you that has engaged with me on my travels and for the past few years, another huge milestone and for that I am truly grateful.

9000followers

It has been a little while since my last milestone post thanking you for helping me reach 8,000 followers. I haven’t blogged too much in the past couple months but I am on a three day streak and I will aim to keep it going, I love this platform and everyone I have discovered and I aim to be present here for a long time coming.

Thank you again, I am going to celebrate with Italian food tonight and probably wine.

I hope you all have a great weekend!!

    1. You are killing it in your stats! I only have roughly a quarter of that, you must have had a few posts that went pretty viral or something. Keep it up!

      1. Sam, no competition! I just was curious about statistics, because in my job I had to keep them and analyze.

        Finland is unknown to many and I have had the idea about to show photos and tell its gems. There are few people for example who have never heard, for example, about the reindeer races, which are unique in the world, which are free for everybody. Visitors coming to Helsinki have never visited on the area which I call “Unknown” Helsinki.

        Happy Sunday!

      2. But you are running a great blog it seems so well done for that 🙂 I have never been to Finland, however it is so close to the UK so I would love to go when I am back. Your blog will be good for me to get some ideas from!

    1. I have actually added it to my site, I tried it out with ads on my site but the revenue (for me at least) is not worth having ads clogging up the feed. Of course I want to be able to bring a little revenue in to help me improve on the blog however I will wait a little!

    1. I didn’t end up at the Italian, but a nice bar for a couple beers with a friend. Thanks very much Pat!

  20. Congratulations. You were the first human to follow my blog, within days of my first post, back in december. Your commitment to both the craft, to engaging your readers, and to exploring the community at large is inspiring. Well done. (I now have 20 followers, so while youve added some thousands since ive followed you, i can at least brag that ive had a greater % increase!)
