Let’s take a quick 5 minutes to get to know expatriate blogger,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Jari\u00a0Latvala, with his lifestyle Blog \u00a0<\/span>Finn Abroad<\/a>!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Why did you decide to start blogging?<\/b><\/p>\n

I’ve been blogging since relocating to London eight years ago, but that was more to keep my friends and family back in Finland updated with the latest in my life.\u00a0After booking a holiday to the Philippines for this November, I started writing about my preparation for the trip. I then thought “maybe, just maybe, someone other than my family would be interested in this stuff”. As with a lot of things in my life, a small idea quickly snowballed into something much bigger, so straight away I bought a new domain and set up a whole new blog to talk about not just the upcoming trip but a whole bunch of other stuff too.<\/p>\n

Why lifestyle, tech and travel?<\/b><\/p>\n

I have a lot of different interests – food, travel, photography, tech – and I wanted to be able to cover them all. Lately my posts have revolved around food, restaurant reviews and travel, but there’s a couple of other topics I’ll be covering soon. Watch this space.<\/p>\n

Who or what would you say inspires you?<\/b><\/p>\n

Creative people – artists, designers and people who are passionate about tech.<\/p>\n

What is your pitch to PRs? How would you prefer to be contacted by them?<\/b><\/p>\n

I’m a new blogger starting to build a regular following and welcome new ideas. I’m likely to cover a wide range of topics. I prefer to be contacted via email (finnabroad.blog@gmail.com<\/a>) or Twitter (@finnabroadblog). Oh and don’t forget to add me to your distribution lists!<\/p>\n

And finally where would you like to see your blog in one year from now?<\/b><\/p>\n

Would be nice to see a steady increase in visitors to my blog and to start\/spark conversations. Having established good relationships with PRs and other bloggers out there. Maybe a guest post here and there?\u00a0I’d also like to have been able to tick a few new countries, cities and restaurants off my bucket list.<\/p>\n
