Follow the Nordic - Follow me

Hei, I'm Johanna, the founder and guide of Follow the Nordic. For me, nature isn't just a place—it's a way of life. I've grown up exploring Finland's wilderness, gathering berries and mushrooms, fishing, and hunting. These are not just hobbies but part of our deep connection to the land here in the North.

With over ten years of experience as a guide in Lapland, I've had the privilege of introducing visitors from all over the world to the beauty of our forests, reindeer, and culture. Now, I'm excited to share that same passion here in Oulu, a region full of untapped natural treasures and unique experiences waiting to be discovered.

At Follow the Nordic, my approach is personal, sustainable, and rooted in sharing. I want to be your "walking nature encyclopedia," weaving together stories, local knowledge, and insights about Finnish nature, culture, and the effects of tourism. Whether it's a peaceful hike, a snowshoe walk through the forest, or a day spent ice fishing, my goal is to create experiences that connect you with the land and leave lasting memories.

Come and see the North through my eyes. Let's explore together!
