I moved to Finland in 2010 and have since explored the country to my best abilities. Finland is an amazing country full of unexpected experiences and stunningly beautiful nature right at your doorstep, even when you’re living the heart of the Capital.

My favourite way to travel are roadtrips, but all these include plane rides or train trips as well.
