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 fresh coconut water.

Spread your wings and learn how to fly, otherwise you'll never know where the life could take you. #machupicchu #peru . . I believe in taking your chances. Always. Opportunities open for the curious and all you have to do is to grab the bull by the horns, as we say here in Finland. I'm also a dreamer but I'm determined to turn my dreams into experiences. . Visiting Machu Picchu was a dream of mine, now its a precious menory 💕 . . #roamtheplanet #visitperu #southamerica #nordicdiaries #blogger #nomad #solotravel #letsgosomewhere #visualwanderlust #travelbug #travelblog #travelgram #planetdiscovery #keepitwild #adventure #worldtraveler #wanderlusters #discoverearth #earthofficial #alwaysgo #theoutbound #lifeofadventure #liveauthentic #visualwanderlust

Welcome to Mars #atacama #chile . No, I'm obviously just kidding. This is Valle de la Luna, Moon Valley, in Atacama desert. Last rays of daylight before the sunset #valledelaluna . Atacama is such a fascinating place to visit. Weird rocky formations, pre-colombian ruins, salt lakes and flamingos! Blog post from Atacama will be up in the blog tomorrow! . What do you prefer on your travels, historical sights or nature experiences? . . #nordicdiaries #southamerica #visualoflife #makemoment #thehappynow #desert #planetdiscovery #wildernessculture #gltlove #keepexploring #folktravel #roamtheplanet #doyoutravel #travelstoke #openmyworld #goplayoutside #lonelyplanet #lifeofadventure #alwaysgo #finditliveit #mytinyatlas #adventureculture #liveinspired #thewanderingtourist #desert

The journey teaches you more than the destination. #peru . . Often we are so happy when we reach our destinations we forget what we have learned along the way. Journey often means struggle and hard work, but how could we grow as persons without facing our fears and limits? . Pic from Peru, day 4/5 of reaching Machu Picchu by foot. Challenge overcome ✔️ . What is the latest challenge you've beaten? . . . #goplayoutside #travelstoke #traveldeeper #glt #salkantay #machupicchu #nordicdiaries #nature #exploremore #wanderfolk #momentsofmine #sheisnotlost #wildernessculture #travelphotography #trek #trekking #outdoors #hiking #lifeofadventure #freedomthinkers #optoutside #folktravel #travelwithme #bucketlistadventures #visitperu #visitsouthamerica

Life in Isla del Sol, Bolivia #isladelsol #bolivia . . After busy La Paz, we escaped to lake Titicaca to enjoy some fresh air and stunning sceneries. Watch the lamas and donkeys roam free as the islands only traffic is created by a pack of sheeps passing by. If the inca ruins, steep hills and Andes don't take your breath away, the altitude of 4100m asl surely will! . New blog post from Isla del Sol.

Be curious, kind and stubborn like this donkey and you will get far I promise. . . 🔜 Working on a post from Isla del Sol, Bolivia. Easy living, fresh air and inca ruins at the world's highest altitude lake ☀️ . . #bolivia #titicaca #isladelsol #visitsouthamerica #nordicdiaries #roamtheplanet #blogger #nomad #letsgosomewhere #visualwanderlust #travelbug #travelblog #travelgram #planetdiscovery #keepitwild #adventure #worldtraveler #discoverearth #earthofficial #alwaysgo #theoutbound #lifeofadventure #liveauthentic #donkey

Finding my own path to walk 🌠 👣 #bolivia . . I walked a long route to learn to say no and accept that I'm still enough. Imperfection is perfect and we should not have to prove ourselves to anyone. I'm still walking on that road but I've passed some pretty important milestones for myself. One of the most important life lessons I've learned is to be true to yourself, always. Have an awesome week and remember to love yourselves! ❤️ . . #nordicdiaries #southamerica #visitsouthamerica #dailydoseofcolor #travel #welivetoexplore #femmetravel #sheisnotlost #ilovetravel #gltlove #tasteintravel #photosinbetween #explore #travelgoals #bloggerlife #travelblogger #openmyworld #wonderful_places #worlderlust #holiday #girlsvsglobe #nomadgirls #traveladdict #traveljournal #folktravel #keepexploring #traintracks #desert

Sunrise on a sacred mountain 🗻 #emeishan #sichuan #china . . A sacred Buddhist mountain and some of the earliest references to Shaolin monasteries practicing martial arts. After a hard day's trek and spending the night in a Buddhist monastery, we rised before the sun to continue to the summit. . You could take a bus as well but then you would miss best of the magical mountain and its many monasteries. . .

Where time has been forgotten. #tiradentes #minasgerais #brazil . . Don't you just love visiting those places where it feels like time has frozen? Tiradentes is an old colonial town in Minas Gerais, Brazil. It has beautiful old houses aligned after each other, by the cobblestoned streets and footsteps of horses echoing on the small alleys. This is a place where I don't mind to get a little lost. This is a place which time has forgotten. . . Have you visited any dreamy destinations lately? . . #nordicdiaries #visitsouthamerica #southamerica #visualoflife #makemoment #thehappynow #planetdiscovery #wildernessculture #keepexploring #folktravel #roamtheplanet #doyoutravel #travelstoke #openmyworld #goplayoutside #lonelyplanet #lifeofadventure #alwaysgo #finditliveit #mytinyatlas #adventureculture #liveinspired #gltlove

Naptime at Galápagos . . In Galápagos Islands, the wildlife is constantly all around you. I felt so humble of the many encounters I had with different animals. Was great to see them in their habitats, wild and free, as it should be. 🌊 🐳 . . #galapagos #ecuador #southamerica #nordicdiaries #goplayoutside #travelstoke #traveldeeper #dametraveler #nature #exploremore #wanderfolk #momentsofmine #sheisnotlost #wildernessculture #travelphotography #outdoors #lifeofadventure #vitaminsea #snorkeling #sealife #oceanlover #keepitwild #sealion
