Hello! I am a tourism, culture and event management professional with a master's degree. I possess official tourist and wilderness guide certifications. I am a native Finnish citizen with a heritage of 50 % Sámi (indigenous people of Finland): I was born in Kuusamo, Northern Finland, but later I moved to Helsinki for work. I conduct tours in both areas! Besides travel, my interests are studying world histories, heritages, different cultures and arts, fauna and flora. Sports like swimming, slalom, walking, paddling, hiking and bicycling belong to my healthy lifestyle. In addition, I love to drive my museum car Buick Electra 1966 convertible and I am an active board member of the American car association. At the moment I work in the event production in cooperation with various local and international organizations. I am a professional driver as well. My strong background in customer service means that I always put my customers first: Their needs and expectations are the most important to me. My clients can rely on, that what has been agreed will happen and if any problems or questions will occur, my job is to resolve them. When it comes to tour planning or to your special event inquiry, do not hesitate to contact me if there are any issues. We will find the best solution regarding your available time and need!

Overview of your Helsinki tour

This wonderful active adventure covers everything you want to experience about the nature and birds in Helsinki. We will visit the nature sites which are quite easily accessible by a car, but for bird watching we need to walk & hike in the forest, sea meadows and swamp areas as well. Whooper swans stay on until sea shore freezes, at best in flocks of over a hundred birds. White-tailed eagles, golden eagles, dippers, kestrels, mergansers, geese and Peregrine falcons have also been spotted in the Viikki nature and coastal meadows. Finally we will discover both by car and walk the hidden green treasures around Viikki & Herttoniemi district! Our timetable is very flexible. Water, sodas, coffee, sandwiches & lunch included.
