Returning to Finland, aside from getting married, has been one of the true highlights of our summer. With a six day itinerary focused chiefly around outdoors adventures we engaged in a plethora of different activities including kayaking, hiking, boating, standup paddle boarding, biking, cycling and horseback riding in Helsinki and around other areas situated nearby the Finnish Archipelago. Overall, it was a great introduction to the opportunities that exist in Finland for outside exploration and adventure. Although our time visiting Finland was brief, we're already excited about potentially returning here again.

Aside from cooking Finnish food, one of my favorite things I was able to try was Salmiakki which I've now had in candy, chocolate, ice cream and spirit form. For those visiting Finland enjoying outdoors activities in nature is an absolute must. Walking through trails in the woods or exploring remote island forests by kayaking are two of the top highlights that I recommend the most.
