  • I went back to Finland for 2 weeks after living in Tokyo for a bit over a year! I visited all my favourite Helsinki restaurants, was in awe of the bright nights during the summer in Helsinki, enjoyed quality time with friends, recharged my soul by swimming in a lake and sweating in a sauna, listened to the silence of Finnish forests, drank my way through a nordic midsummer... and many other things.
    Hope you enjoy this back to my Finnish roots travel vlog ❤️

      Yes definitely!! Although I was also lucky to be enjoying relatively good weather - sometimes summers are disappointingly cold in Finland!

    Not sure why this came up on my home page, but I watched it. I'm also half japanese! Half Japanese-Australian, but grew up in Australia. I've been away from Japan for the longest time in my life so far, 4 years, so excited to return. Hope you enjoyed being back in Finland.

    Sad about tatooes and Faith, It's about the heart and not what's on your skin :P But as a Finn, i know some can be very strict, as i live in the bible-belt :P I love diffrent tea's too , but im more amazed of diffrent tea infuser's tool's , like got a tea-spoon with holes. Also have a Russian friend with a mug that have built in tea infuser.

      Fair enough, I love my tattoos though and I didn't get them to please anyone else. Having your own opinions is of course natural, but being rude is also very off-putting 😜
