February 2013 in Instagram Photos

on in Site Announcements

February was a big travel month. Here are a few photos from what I’ve been doing for the last month. Follow me on Instagram to see what else I’ve been up to.

The pictures include Washington DC, Finland, and Italy. All of the pictures are in order from when they were taken.

ShopHouse Kitchen

In Washington DC, there’s a restaurant called ShopHouse Kitchen. We decided to check this place out. It’s a SE Asia fusion. Super spicy and very delicious.

backpack

The start of our Europe trip. This is the biggest backpack I’ve ever traveled with. It’s a 70L and I love it.

Kemi Finland

That’s 14F. Behind me is a snow castle complete with a chapel, restaurant, and interesting art. It’s also a snow hotel and where I’ll be sleeping tonight! Yes, the entire thing is made out of snow. Bigger than you think! Loving this small town.

Snow Restaurant

Never thought I’d eat in a restaurant made out of snow.
