Hei,
My name’s Tom and I recently moved from Portland, Oregon to Helsinki, Finland. I’ve started this blog, my first public blog, with the goal of posting 3 pictures a day. In addition to the images I’ll include a brief paragraph or two on the subject matter. I hope you enjoy. Feel free to comment, I would love to hear from you.
Tom
Dear Tom,
I discovered your images of Finnish New Year’s tradition of tin melting. Do you happen to have a high res version available I could use for a Finland travel story? Thank you. Your blog is really nice.

Sure thing. Can you email me at bomteidler@gmail.com?
Hi Tom,
I just happened to stumble upon your blog and saw some of the beautiful photos you’d taken on your balcony and thought “Heey, wait a minute, this looks familiar!” and realised that you live in the exact same apartment as me, just two floors up, since I live on the 6th floor. What a coincidence !
Anyways, I think your blog is awesome, it is so interesting for me to read about your experiences here in Helsinki from a foreigner’s point of view, especially with the optimistic attitude that comes across in your posts. Also, having lived in the US with my family, I have so much to relate to in your texts, adapting to a new country imand culture is never easy. For me it was basically the same situation, apart from the fact that you’re an american in Finland and I was a Finn in the U.S ! Maybe we’ll catch the same elevator some day, so weird that we never have!

Joona,
What a small world. Hopefully we will see each other on the elevator to compare notes.
Tom
