About Finally Lost
Welcome to Finally Lost – a digital travel magazine and photography journal dedicated to independent travel, scenic road trips, and slow adventures.
We believe that life is too short for ordinary stay-at-home vacations. Through our deeply researched travel guides, curated itineraries, and professional storytelling, our mission is to inspire you to step out of your comfort zone, discover hidden gems, and create your own unforgettable travel milestones.
Meet the Team
Finally Lost is created and run by Annika and Mini – two creative souls, independent travel journalists, and content creators who spent five years living and working full-time from a motorhome, exploring Europe from north to south. And, of course, our journey wouldn’t be complete without our third crew member.
- Annika is a professional freelance journalist with a passion for deep research, local cultures, and culinary journeys. She uncovers the stories behind the destinations, ensuring every guide is packed with expert advice and authentic insider tips.
- Mini is an award-winning professional photographer with an eye for dramatic landscapes, wild nature, and the raw beauty of the open road. His imagery brings our journeys to life and captures the true essence of wanderlust.
- Morris is our official mascot and the smallest member of the team – a little adventure-loving rhinoceros. He travels with us everywhere in the motorhome, keeps us company on the road, and loves to hitch a ride in our backpacks during hikes. Keep an eye out for him in our stories!

What To Expect on this travel blog
We travel our wild and weird but wonderful world, attempting to find the best places to share with our readers. We are not counting countries while traveling. Exploring and moving slowly is our way to do it. We are very honest and share all our highs and lows (mostly highs). It is not always easy to travel full time (although we do not feel sorry for us). We want to inspire you to follow your dreams and get motivated, whether it is exploring or pursuing your dream.
What do we write about on this travel blog:
- Activities
- Culture
- Food
- Camping
- And much much more
What Not To Expect on Finally Lost
Since we don’t have any children, our point of view is adults. We do write about attractions for children also. That is because we love doing childish things. We also borrow our family children sometimes. But mostly when we write prices on attractions that are for adults.
Finally lost Policies
Trips featured on this travel blog are based on our own travel experiences. The majority are planned, booked and paid for by us. We accept the occasional discount or sponsorship from a tourist board or travel company. These will be clearly marked and we will still give you our honest opinion. Simple as that!
How are we funding our travels?
Annika is working as a freelance journalist. Writing about our travels in magazines such as Swedish “Allt om Resor” (Sweden’s largest travel magazine) and South African-based magazine “Travel Ideas“. Mini is the photographer for the articles and also for this website. We have collaborations with companies and sell some ads on our website. We also do press trips and write about our experiences. Our posts that are press trips are always marked as such. We also write honestly about the destination – even if we got it for free.
