I live in Europe and only speak one language fluently. I'm like the human equivalent of a console TV.

I normally go for a well-pulled, single-origin espresso (never for takeaway), but come on, €2.60 for a pumpkin spice latte? Props to Normal for an affordable seasonal drink with unusually well-textured milk as a bonus. #NormalCafe #Finland #Helsinki #PSLseason #OatMilk #CoffeeSnob

I was in the mood for some cookies, but I wasn't going to make any till I remembered the inspiring words of the Swedish Chef: "Flurbon cooken da chookdlad chup chup". Bork Bork Bork!

Three random things I miss every now and then since moving from Washington State in the U.S. to Finland 13 years ago: Alpine lakes, longer summers, and looking for deals on clothing at Ross Dress for Less. #Finland #ExpatLife #RossDressForLess

No sun when I wake up anymore. In the U.S., that means it's pumpkin spice season, in Finland, that means it’s officially darkness season. Darkness season lasts way longer than pumpkin spice season. #Finland #Suomi #darkness #PSL

If there is one thing I miss living in Finland, It's Costco. I would support them if I could. I would shop there if I could. I would work there if I could. #Costco #respect #business

Customers will pay more for an experience than for a product but if the price reflects an experience that doesn't exist, your business will most likely fail. #business #CEM #BrandStrategy #CustomerExperience #Helsinki #Finland medium.com/@jasonchrist...

After working with a couple of cafés to use dice as part of a fun, memorable, and repeatable rewards experience, I’m now seeing others doing something similar. Coincidence? Maybe.
Either way, any move away from a robotic customer experience is a win in my book.

After voting in yesterday's local elections here in Finland, I'm reminded of the convenience of having voting day on a Sunday rather than a weekday. #Finland #elections #vote

Here in Finland, the neighbors in my building would rather climb multiple flights of stairs carrying multiple bags of heavy groceries than risk an encounter in the elevator. That's one way to stay fit! #Finland

I grew up in #Washington State, but now I live in #Finland. It’s amazing how life changes, yet the essence of who we were stays with us.

Waiting for summer in #Helsinki / #Finland. I'll be waiting for a while.

I've always been a summer person. Even though I really don’t like winter, I can still recognize and appreciate the beauty in it. #photography #finland

Sometimes, I crave a good chocolate chip cookie. Always, I have to make it myself. Sorry, northern Europe, but you have other strengths. 🇺🇸 🇫🇮

The only problem with the #Oodi library in #Helsinki is that it makes every other otherwise nice library I visit feel remarkably underwhelming. oodihelsinki.fi/en/
Home - Oodi
Oodi is Helsinki’s new Central Library and a living meeting place. It will function as a living room for residents, located right at the heart of Helsinki.

Who remembers 'tweetups' back when Twitter was kind of new? Does this mean I'm old?
