Save this if you’re visiting Turku this spring or next year 🌼

And now my mission is to share these places with y And now my mission is to share these places with you 🫡

When I actually started exploring Finland instead of always looking at flights abroad… I realized something.

This country is FULL of cool hidden gems!

Places I had never even heard of and I’ve lived here pretty much my whole life! 😭

Small, local spots that don’t really show up when you google “things to do in Finland”… but honestly deserve just as much attention as the big attractions 🫶🏼

And I kinda had this moment like… why is no one talking about these??

So now, as your local guide, I’m here to change that 🥰

To show you the places that aren’t always on the “top 10” lists. The ones you randomly find and end up loving the most 💛

👋🏼 So follow along @heifromfinland if you want to discover the hidden side of Finland
