Hi, My name is Elina!

I’m a 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.

Adventures on Instagram
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

Discovering the waterfalls of Brazil's oldest National Park 🌴 #itatiaia #brazil 🇧🇷 . Itatiaia is known for its beautiful nature and many waterfalls. We stayed in a little town of Penedo what used to be a finnish colony! As a finn, this was obviously a must see for me. In Penedo you could still see the finnish influence in town even though only handful of finns have remained. But even though, this was the closest thing to Finland for me after more than a year in South America #penedo 🇫🇮 . 🔝Read more from the blog!

Meanwhile in Finland ⛄ . Dear diary, the snowing seems endless. I wonder will I ever see sun and feel the grass under my bare feet again... . Okok, after being two winters away, Finland has decided to charm me again with the winter wonderland look. And can't deny, it looks absolutely beautiful! . Anyways, spring is around the corner since the sun has been seen in Lapland again, after few months of darkness! . What is your favorite part of the winter? Mine is definitely the countless options for fun outdoor sports! 💙 . . #finland #nordicdiaries #goplayoutside #travelstoke #traveldeeper #dametraveler #nature #exploremore #wanderfolk #momentsofmine #sheisnotlost #wildernessculture #travelphotography #trekking #outdoors #lifeofadventure #earthofficial #travelgram #keepitwild #winter #nordic #photography
"...braveness is not the absence of fear but rather the strength to keep on going forward despite the fear." -Paulo Coelho #paulocoelho . . The most common thing I've been asked of my solo adventures is that am I not afraid to go solo, especially as a girl. Hell yes I've been afraid, many times. . I've been questioning my decisions on my way to the airport. I've been crying on my bed after a scooter accident on asian countryside town. I've been scared when i had to spend a night on small bus terminal in South America. . There is so many times I've been scared, but there's so much more memories of kind strangers and helpful locals. Without a common language, there is still one we can all speak, and it's kindness towards each other. . . #nordicdiaries #blogger #nomad #solotravel #letsgosomewhere #visualwanderlust #travelbug #travelblog #travelgram #planetdiscovery #keepitwild #adventure #worldtraveler #discoverearth #earthofficial #wanderfolk #welivetoexplore #peru #machupicchu #mountains
