FINLAND TRAVEL DOCUMENTARY | Unforgettable Road Trip in Finlands South

Join an epic Road Trip to Finland and its majestic southern regions. A Road Trip to endless small forest roads and lakes, beautiful islands off the beaten path, wide open beaches on the sea, small fishing villages, heartwarming hospitable locals and one of the most vibrant and interesting capital cities in Europe - Helsinki. Welcome to Finalnd. Welcome to one of my favorite countries in Europe.

The forests called us, and we went. And on the way we found lakes so big, that you can drive a boat on them for hours. We found a way of simple living close to nature, relying on what your surrounding provides. We found a place, where time sometimes seems to stand still and where the wild and civilized don’t compete but embrace each other.
