Really, we do study... time to times!!!

We just love our study program. Of course it is serious stuff but as the saying goes; When you work hard, you need to play hard, or something like that. Well anyways we have done bunch of fun stuff at school, for example Circus training. How many of you can say your school send you to practice circus skills, seriously :-) We have been training how to make cocktails, how to serve, cook, how to be a good seminar host and now we are organizing a seminar about Tourism in Europe, pretty cool.

But why are we writing about this, is because we have company visits every Friday what we really enjoy. We go see different hospitality companies and get to know their organization and how does it feel to work there. Last Friday we went  to Hotel Haven in Helsinki. It was AMAZING!!!!

We only have 2 luxury hotels in Helsinki; Hotel Kämp and Hotel Haven, which is Finland´s first member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World chain.

The hotel was full of little detail which made it really fancy but in a comfortable way. It didn´t feel like we should wear dresses while walking around, it was warm and welcoming place.

Near by the lobby, is this comfy area where you can play chess, read books or just chill by the fire.

View from some of the rooms was quite astonishing, especially in brilliant winter sun.

If you have some suggestions about companies we should visit, let us know. This Friday we will visit China Liangtse Wellness :-)

Hunting companies for Co-operation

We are so sorry for not having time to update what we have been up to but last week was all about emails! We sent tons of them and we are trying to keep in mind how usually it's one out of ten who is saying yes. But we won't accept the answer no.
Training is the thing that will save us from all the stress! Luckily we have to find time for practicing. It is really a great break from all the "paper work".

All thought last week Laura´s daily routine got totally messed up cause of two bugs, but they are so cute... :-) Of course she rather went for a walk with them than cycling indoors, besides weather last week was not typical Finnish weather... Sunshine almost everyday, UNBELIEVABLE! And also it was kinda compulsory considering how active they, or actually the other one is. But that did NOT make them be quiet during the night... Oh my goodness how LOUD they can be when they sleep!!! Oh well, now they are back at home and Laura can return to her normal schedule!

It is Monday, which means new week, new tricks but same old us!!!

What a weekend

Travel Fair was a lot of fun. We got to talk with people from The League of Finnish American Societies and they invited us to one of their meetings to tell everyone about our Cycling Summer!!! :-D Pretty exciting!!! BUT the best news was that we got our Minister Alexander Stubb to be the patron of this project!! HOW COOL IS THAT!!!! We just can´t stop telling that to everybody :-D

Oh and the most important thing of course, we finally published our website!!!!

So thank you all who started to follow us here, on Facebook and Twitter, we really appreciate that. Keep on following, spreading the word and donating when we get the permission to start collecting donations!

Hope you had a fun weekend as well, now it is time to start getting ready for Monday, The not-so-cool- day :-)

Getting started

Holidays are over and we're training as much as we can find time for. Yesterday we pedaled about an hour and a half. Today it's all about Matkamessut (Travel Fair) and trying to get some contacts! This week has been crazy busy with all the work for Facebook page, Twitter, emails, website and so on! (Remember to check out our Facebook and Twitter from the right bottom of the page). Luckily exercise really helps you to get rid of all the stress, and we're getting both a lot :D 

Love,
