I’ve had the privilege of exploring the stunning landscapes of this beautiful country. From the trails of Lapland to the frozen rivers and forests, pristine lakes, midnight sun and Northern Lights, the natural beauty of Finlands nature never ceases to amaze me.
When I’m not guiding or planning exciting adventures for others, you’ll find me exploring the nature with my snowshoes strapped on, mountain biking or carving down the slopes on my skis.
