TRAVEL DIARIES VLOG | back to finland, summer in helsinki, nordic midsummer 

I went back to Finland for 2 weeks after living in Tokyo for a bit over a year! I visited all my favourite Helsinki restaurants, was in awe of the bright nights during the summer in Helsinki, enjoyed quality time with friends, recharged my soul by swimming in a lake and sweating in a sauna, listened to the silence of Finnish forests, drank my way through a nordic midsummer... and many other things.
Hope you enjoy this back to my Finnish roots travel vlog ❤️
