I have been writing articles for Finnish Magazines and Newspapers since 2001.
As a freelancer, I take on economic risks, including the time spent traveling and writing, as well as travel expenses. Some articles are bought shortly after the trip, but sometimes the period between actual site research and publication can be years. However, this method has been fruitful as the best ideas often emerge while traveling.
I also take photoes for my articles.
Recently, I have focused on my independet blog when it comes to travel. My blog Mummo matkabloggaa is aimed at Finns aged 38+ (travel, inspiration, literature)
