A Guest Blog Hello, my name’s Juliette, but I blog as Helsinki-Budapest because right now that’s my life.

To get a grasp on how to get to know San Francisco, Henry and I got on one of these circulating tourist buses that are available in most big cities. After a while we got places and headsets to hear the information about the city. Suddenly this huge beautiful Grace Cathedral in Gothic style stood high above in the street. […]
My husband was convinced that he didn’t want to rent a car and travel from San Francisco and down the coast towards Los Angeles.
