The experience
I take you to a beautiful spot by a lake, twenty minutes from the terminal. If you crave something more meaningful than airport corridors and lounges but are hesitant to stray far from the airport, this is for you.
We meet at the airport and head by car for a serene woodland where you can rejuvenate your spirits before your flight. You will breathe the crisp, clean Finnish forest air, hear your own heartbeat, taste some Finnish pulla and juice, stretch your legs and hear stories about the forest. I will have you back in plenty of time for check-in or your airport hotel.

Before you book
Please make sure you have allowed enough time at the airport — I am responsible only for picking you up and dropping you off at the agreed times, and the minimum window between the meeting time and return to the airport is 2.5 hours. Only hand luggage fits in the car unless otherwise agreed. We go out in all weather, unless I judge it too harsh. Some rain gear is available to borrow or buy.

Welcome darkness
Step out of the ordinary and let sleeping forests whisper of long nights and their secrets. Join me for a safe dark forest experience with torches, warm drinks and stories that your ancestors told sitting by the fire. Your senses sharpen and your imagination is freed from the familiar.
Taste of the wild
A true forest experience in the heart of Helsinki, the way locals relax. Step from city streets into the forest, where the noise fades almost at once. A gentle walk of conversation and quiet, with stories of Finnish forest spirits and the bear, plus a break for juice and korvapuusti cinnamon rolls.
