Hey, guys. It’s Shauna from Without Bags, and I just got to my hotel in Helsinki in Finland, and I am in love with it. This is so cool and so cute. I’m so, so, so happy to be here. It’s Hotel Krapi? I’m sure I’m mispronouncing it but it’s K-R-A-P-I. It’s a little bit away from the airport, maybe like 20 minute drive. Absolutely lovely. Apparently it used to be an old farm, so I want to share with you some of the really cool things that I’ve already found out literally just walking in the door, I haven’t even taken off all my gear yet, about this hotel.

First things first, the main part of the hotel actually used to be a cow barn so each of the rooms, I will show you, each of the rooms is named after a cow that lived on the farm. They don’t live here anymore, but name of the cow that lived on the farm. Let’s see if we can … Oh, sorry. I’m trying to figure out how to get out of my room one handed. There’s some very specialty locks on these doors. Anyway, I wanted to share this with you guys. Check this out. My room, the name is Aino. I hope you can see this. Room 27. Anyway, really, really cool. I know. I know. I know but anyway. You can see the carpet actually looks like cow pattern. This is so cool. Gorgeous little hotel.

Let me take you on a tour of the room. When you first walk in the door, you’ve got the main entryway and super cute furniture and very, very simple. I really like it. The room opens up into a really nice just bigger area, very comfortable. The two chairs are really comfortable, really cute views outside. Certainly looking forward to going and exploring out here. All of this land belongs to the hotel, so I think you can rent all those little cabins out there as well.

I’m going to have restaurant in the main restaurant later tonight or on the hotel grounds. Apparently in Finland one of the big things to do is a buffet actually. When I asked the people at the front desk, they said that that’s what you do. When you go out to a restaurant here in Finland, the buffet is the common … That’s how the Finnish people do it. And, I said, “Well, are there any special food, or desserts, or anything that I need to try?” And, she said, “Cheesecake.” The cheesecake is actually the best thing that they have here, so I will be definitely having the cheesecake for desserts. I know life is so rough as a correspondent for Without Bags. Super looking forward to trying this cheesecake.

Just so you get a full version of the rest of the room, there is some ensuite bathroom. If you’re used to booking in America, you always have an ensuite bathroom, but that is not necessarily true when you’re in foreign countries so always make sure if you want a private bathroom, always make sure that your room does come ensuite. That’s typically how it’s … E-N-S-U-I-T-E. Ensuite bathroom. Here’s the bathroom. Super cute. I love the doors. To be honest, I don’t think I’ve ever seen doors like that before. His and her robes and shoes and very clean, very, very well done. I do have to say if you guys have never seen this before, they actually give you two options on the toilet so there’s the low flow option. You see this little tiny button? Then, if you need more water, you can use the heavy flow option. Really trying to work on conservation of water out here.

Anyway, I just wanted to give you guys a little bit of a tour. I’m super happy with the hotel. It’s really super cute and can definitely recommend it. And, as soon as I get to dinner, I will let you guys know what’s going on. I think I’m going to go take a walk outside. It looks way too cute not to go outside. I’ll let you guys know and maybe take you out on a tour of the ground so I’ll see you guys soon.
