Hi there!

Thailand travel by train

I’m Finnish native, adventure-loving storyteller, the face behind Nordic Diaries. Besides travelling and writing, my passions lie in nature and outdoor sports.

I love an easygoing lifestyle, sea breeze in my hair and long walks in a forest, and I would never say no to an açai bowl.
