Finland Blog

Are you currently planning a trip to Finland? The country east of Sweden and Norway is often overlooked when it comes to beautiful countries in Scandinavia. However, it doesn't have to hide. I promise you that Finland will blow you away.

During my first visit to the capital, Helsinki, and a road trip in the south, I was completely captivated. On my way to the North Cape, I decided to drive through Finland for a bit. Lapland is amazing. The land of the Sami, incredibly beautiful. More lakes and forests than roads and towns, a little bit of Scandinavia and a pinch of Russia promise many experiences and adventures!

Soon I will be traveling back to Lapland, this time in winter. I am very much looking forward to it.
