After ten years of exploring I've changed vehicles quite a number of times. When I began in the early 2010's I was driving a Volvo 850, between 2014 and 2019 it was a Volvo V70.
In 2019 I moved to the capital region and had no need for a car. However, as the pandemic destroyed my summer plans and I was right in my 30's crisis, I bought an old 850 and went for my vanished youth. I drove 20 000 kilometres around Finland and visited around 120 locations, 40 which I managed to access. In the end the gearbox failed and the poor Volvo was sold for scrap.
Last summer I borrowed my friend's Volvo 960 and embarked on another tour. 150 locations, more than 60 entries. When summer ended, I returned the car.
So most likely I'll be driving some sort of a Volvo between May and August. Between September and April I'll use public transport.
I mostly explore during summertime. The rest of the year I edit photos, write blog posts and gather interesting locations for the next summer's road trips.
I'd love to attach photos, but this platform doesn't make it very easy. Here's one of my old V70.
So if you ever come to Finland in summertime and find a Volvo on the roadside near an abandoned building, that's probably me ;)
