Hi, my name is Elina!

I’m Finnish native, adventure loving storyteller, the face behind Nordic Diaries. Besides traveling and writing, my another passions lie in nature and outdoor sports.
I love an easygoing lifestyle, seabreeze in my hair and long walks in a forest, and I would never say no to a açai bowl.

Looking for my spirit animal 🐾 . . What animal you would like to see in the wild?🦁🐬🦄? . . Seeing wildlife ranks always high on my favorite travel memories. Unfortunately this time we didn't bump into the locals 🐻. . If I could decide, next animal I would like to see in the nature 🌿, wild n free 🌪️ , would be some of the local predators here, a bear, wolf, lynx or a wolverine. Which one you would pick? 🐺 . . _________________________ www.nordic-diaries.com _________________________

D R E A M I N G 🌠 . . Do you like castles? 🏰 . . I'm a lil history nerd 🤓 and love putting my imagination to work when visiting historical destinations. Here I am, pondering about life back in the medieval times, when this Northernmost castle was built in the lakeside Finland. Olavinlinna, Olaf's Castle, has seen rulers from east and west, before losing its strategic importance after Finland gained its autonomy. How would Finland be, if we would still be under Swedish or Russian rule? . . _________________________ www.nordic-diaries.com _________________________ . .

It would be terrible, if the planet would brake. It is so beautiful 🌎✨ - Tove Jansson . . And she sat there thinking, how will the world be in hundred years. Will there be forests left to roam, and oceans to sail. Will there still be the big five in the plains of Africa and fish in the sea. What is left for the future generations is up to us. Let's protect the ones with no voice to speak 💚 . . _________________________ www.nordic-diaries.com _________________________

E V E N I N G T H O U G H T S ✨ . . I wish that there would be more hours in a day. I have dreams to make true and personal deadlines to meet, bu also everyday chores have to be done. But sometimes you just need to loosen up and sit back. Small step 👣 is still a step forwards. Appreciate the present and what you have done, instead of blaming yourself for not doing enough. Take a moment and pat yourself on the back, you are enough ♥️ . . How are you doing today? . . _________________________ www.nordic-diaries.com _________________________ . . #stayandwander #wanderlust #wildernessculture #theoutbound #goneoutdoors #folktravel #travelwithme #lifeofadventure #moodygrams #nordicdiaries #naturelovers #letswander #girlslovetravel #wanderfolk #optoutside #sheisnotlost #outdoors #keepitwild #backpackersintheworld #finland #100syytä #europetravel #sunset #countryside #dreambig #motivation #travelbusinessbabes

Road to the Lost City . . Today I wish I could teleport myself back here. In to the Andes, discovering new. That's all for today, tnx & byee! . . Where would you like to be right now? . . _________________________ www.nordic-diaries.com _________________________ . #sheisthewild

Hello wilderness 🐺🐾 . . In a place like this, one can feel themselves very small. You might feel vulnerable, but also very much alive. In here, you are just another part of the food chain. . . Where do you feel most alive? . . Stories from the outbacks of Finland 🇫🇮 🌲 coming up. I'm working on blog posts from our recent camping trip! . . _________________________ www.nordic-diaries.com _________________________ . . #stayandwander #wanderlust #wildernessculture #folkscenery #theoutbound #goneoutdoors #folktravel #travelwithme #lifeofadventure #moodygrams #nordicdiaries #roamtheplanet #landscape #naturelovers #hiking #letswander #girlslovetravel #wanderfolk #optoutside #sheisnotlost #trekking #outdoors #keepitwild

S u n s h i n e through the storm⚡ . . Would you believe me if I'd say, that each day can end gracefully. Would you believe that after each storm🌪️, the skies are painted with the brightest colours🔥, for those who stayed there to watch. After each rain, there is clear skies. After each sunset, there is a new day. . Mother Nature 💚 put on her best show on this summer eve. One could believe in magic in nights 🌜 like these. No filters needed. . . Where is the last unreal sunset you have seen? . . ________________________ www.nordic-diaries.com ________________________ . . #europetravel #finland #nordicdiaries #sunset #skyphotography #naturelove #camping #photooftheday #naturephotography #landscapephotos #gltlove #natgeo #wildernessculture #travelphotography #outdoorlovers #outdoors #lakeside #lifeofadventure #earthofficial #wanderlust #tourtheplanet #sunsets #instago #ilovetravel #momentsofmine #sheisnotlost #photogram #travelnorth #sunsetchaser #igtravel

E v e n i n g S u n ☀️ . After sauna and skinny dipping, feeling fresh and grateful for the beautiful nature we have up here in the North. . These waters are guard by freshwater seals and bears roam in the forest. If you get lucky you might also see the mighty old elk, wearing his crown head up high. . Todays score was a snake, a raven and a seal. Tales from the Finnish countryside will continue when we head more north tomorrow. Who knows what tomorrow might bring! .
