Tour guide in Helsinki Sheila R.

TERVE! Moi, Hej, HI! And Warm Welcome to FINLAND! I look forward to your visit. Whether you travel for professional, academic, and leisure--every step is meaningful, because travel is an expense where you truly become richer! I believe in Gandhi's saying "You must be the change you want to see in the world. " I love adventure travels— the countryside cafés, small streets, cobbled steps, random stops, unexpected turns, sometimes uncomfortable journeys — it makes life amazing. My journey took me to nearly 80 countries, from my home base in Finland--where I live and work for over a quarter of a century! Born in South Philippines, currently living & loving Helsinki, educated in both places. You can count on me to show you the fun or serious side of Helsinki, the capital and its neighboring cities, acclaimed in the Nordics; Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa, Porvoo, Suomenlinna, Lahti--Green Capital of Europe! Relax while you explore with music and arts, architecture, design, education, food culture, and of course the famous sauna—one of the few Finnish words in the English dictionary. Discover what makes Finland "the Happiest Country in the World". Enjoy some simple local activities of Finns, whether cooking salmon soup in a campfire, or a walking tour of the beautiful Art Deco district near the harbor, with unique monuments and interiors. Trust that excellent customer service and communication skills with a proactive attitude will enable us to spend a productive time together--whether a few hours or for 1-2 days tour on land, sea or waters, as our country has one of the most number of lakes in the world. Participate in the discussions; questions are always welcome--we're world famous as a CALM FINN! "Love the life you live ❣ Live the life you love!"
