Tom’s Travels: Helsinki
ScanAm World Tours

Day 1 I left for Helsinki on a Wednesday. A short ferry ride to Logan Airport in Boston (3 1/2-hour layover) was followed by a 1 1/4-hour flight to JFK (6-hour layover). The 8-hour flight to Stockholm was, I believe, the longest flight of my traveling career. The 6 1/2-hour layover in Stockholm seemed longer. 55 minutes in the air followed by a 28-minute train ride to Helsinki and my hotel seemed like a walk in the park. Exhausted upon my arrival at Hotel Lilla Roberts, I powered through 2 hours of work followed by a great meal in the hotel and was “toes up” at around ..read more

A Short Guide to Biking Norway’s Rallarvegen Road, Myrdal to Flåm
ScanAm World Tours
by Sharon Parker
4y ago
Immersing yourself in Norway’s forests, fields, farms, and fjords isn’t that hard to do: nature is what Norwegians are all about. Even the famous Flåm Railway is built around the landscape of the Sognefjord, providing a quick yet scenic route through fjord country, but there’s a drawback: you’re limited to what your eyes can see. Did you know that there’s an alternative route to the Flåmsbana (the local name for the Flåm Railway) that allows you to experience this part of fjord country with all five senses? Rallarvegen is an old navigational road created during the construction of the Be ..read more

A Short Guide to Sea Kayaking on the Fjords
ScanAm World Tours
by Sharon Parker
4y ago
Paddling over serene, rich blue waters between steep fjordscapes just might be one of the most surreal experiences you’ll ever have. You’ll glimpse farms in bright Scandinavian colors dotting the mountainsides like miniature scale model homes, far above the fjord waters. Snow caps the mountains above even in summer, and an abundance of wildlife—including sea eagles and porpoises—are almost close enough to touch! It’s definitely not your average kayaking experience when taking the scenery and the wildlife into account, but it’s also a leisurely, uncomplicated excursion through one of the most p ..read more

A Short Guide to Bergen: Walking & Dining
ScanAm World Tours
by Sharon Parker

One of the first things you’ll notice on a walking tour of Bergen – one of northern Europe’s oldest port cities – is the vibrant mixture of an inescapable small-town friendliness combined with a bustling city atmosphere. A guided walking tour of Bergen’s city center is one of the most eye-opening experiences travelers can take: it exposes you to the diversity of Nordic culture in all its forms, from architecture and history right down to the various staples of Nordic food. And at the heart of Bergen’s city center: the famous Bryggen Hanseatic Wharf (Bryggen Harbor). Bryggen Harbor: a 12 ..read more
