Happy Friday! This has been an intense and fun week for us, with bike rides, museum visits and lots of work on the blog. As you read this, we are in Tallinn, Estonia.

Question box on the blog
This week it feels like there has been a bit of a "question box" on the blog. We've received lots of questions, both in comments and by email - about everything from buying a motorhome, installing bike racks and getting around the Algarve coast to the Coronavirus and its impact on travel. We can't answer everything, of course, but we do our best to answer or refer. Feel free to ask!
Freedom-present
This week I (Helena) received a small gift from a colleague. Hero unexpected but so funny. The gift came with a 'candle only' guideline. And so it goes! Peter no longer smokes, but we like to light our candles with a FREEDOM lighter!
Article in Finnlines Travel Magazine
We have managed to write a small article for Finnlines Travel Magazine. We were asked to write an article about a road trip in Central Europe and we chose to write about one of our favourite countries - the Czech Republic. You can find the magazine at this link.
Museum Week
This week has also been a real "museum week". We've decided to scour Stockholm's museums - one at a time - to write about them. It has turned out to be a really fun assignment! When we have nothing else to do, we get on our electric bikes and go on a museum tour. This week we have written about three museums:
Tallinn trip
Right now, as you read this, we are in Tallinn with the Estonian Tourist Board. We have written both Friday's and Saturday's posts in advance, as we know that we will not have time to update during the trip. We might be able to post something on Instagram: @freedomtravelnews
Best this week
The best part of this week is probably all the nice and interesting visits to museums, and of course the Tallinn trip! What has been the best part of your week?
The week ahead
We will of course tell you about our trip to Tallinn, and there will also be more reports from museums in Stockholm. We haven't had time to tell you about all the ones we visited yet!

What a great article! Interesting reading!
Nice that you have started to visit Stockholm's various museums and there are plenty of them in all sizes and specialisations. Many of the museums in the city I have visited both at work and privately and there are many "gold grains".
Wishing you great days in Tallinn.
Best part of my week? Nice summer weather, new work assignments coming in and being in Spain.
Have a nice weekend

Wishing you a pleasant stay in beautiful Tallinn. Our favourite memory of this week is Carvoeiro and the lovely weather here in Portugal.

Fun with museums, that was also my ambition for 2020. Or, not just museums - but want more cultural experiences in life. I miss that side, which has been left behind during the most intense toddler years.
Have a nice trip!

Understand that it is difficult to be so cultural during the toddler years! But of course it's fun to try to get some culture! 🙂

I first read "Bird Box" and was a bit confused... Haha!
A wonderful trip to Tallinn!
The best thing about my week was probably that the journey home went so smoothly. But I'm already looking forward to travelling again 😉.
Enjoy your stay in Tallinn!

A nice, short and concise article about your favourite country, the Czech Republic.
Oh, you've started just right with "small" museums, there are still lots of the big museums left. Then I'll probably only have time for one a day, I would guess;-)
Hope you have a really nice time in Tallinn. Will be fun to read about your trip.

So good that you have been able to post early! You should work more on this so that you can also have holiday days.
The best part of the week was a lot of bureaucratic crap that is starting to unravel.
Or no, the best thing to do is of course to talk to your mum who sounds better after the operation and hospital stay.
