Writer: Leena from Finland

Hello! I am a writer and a blogger from Finland. I have been writing blogs since the year 2010, first in the Finnish language, and now I am creating my first own website and my first blog written entirely in English. I was born and raised in a small town in southwestern Finland. I was living in a city for some years when I studied in university, but now I live in a small municipality in southwestern Finland.

Welcome to my blog. Let’s be adventurers – let’s observe! And maybe just do a little something ourselves. 😉

Nature is wisdom and holistic wellness for everyone, every day. You are a part of nature.

“Nature loves a human being if one loves her in return. / Nature is a home for a human being. It is like a huge lap, so strong, yet fragile and in need of care, just as we are.” -Me, spring, 2002 / autumn, 2002
