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!

Let's escape into the wild natural settings of Nuuksio National Park and enjoy typically Finnish scenery of green forests, pure lakes and rugged crags. The word Nuuksio resembles the word swan (njukca) in the Sámi language: Nuuksio area have been claimed to prove former Sámi settlement when they arrived to Finland around 1600 or 1500 BCE. After a light walking along the forest paths, we will visit at the Haltia Nature Center for the Finnish Nature exhibition with the Northern Lights including the Finnish flora and fauna. Here you will explore the magic seasons and get a taste of nature's power of creation with a touch of mythology from the Kalevala. You may purchase unique Finnish handicrafts and souvenirs as well! Finally we will enter to the southernmost reindeer farm, where you can feed the reindeer and relax around the fire place while having a warm drink and cinnamon bun in the Sámi-type of tipi. Chance to add your special Lappish dinner in "kota" and sauna experience as well!
