I’m super excited to be heading back to Helsinki for the award-winning Nordic Bloggers Experience (NBE) which is organized in partnership with MATKA – the largest and leading travel fair in the Nordics.
In addition to representing our fast growing NordicTB collective which brings together top digital travel influencers and content creators, I will also be co-moderating the opening keynote address alongside my friend and co-founder Inna Pirjetta-Lahti of Innastus Ltd. I’ve got several business meetings lined up with various travel brands and destinations and I’m looking forward to building some solid partnerships for our collective.
As part of the experience, I will be heading over to Estonia with Eckerö Line to explore not only Tallinn, but the Estonian countryside and will be learning and diving deeper into the country’s history, culture, and traditional lifestyles.
Three themes I love and cover extensively on this blog.

Stories and photos from past NBE
I was part of the inaugural NBE program which launched in 2014 and I got to explore Helsinki’s food scene in addition to participating in the conference. Here are some of my experiences:
- Helsinki Files: Blinis, Chocolates, and All Things Organic
- Helsinki in Photos: Exploring food history at Hietalahti Market Hall
- Helsinki Files: Photos from MATKA
- Just Back: Nordic Bloggers Experience in Helsinki, Finland
So needless to say, I’ve got my camera and some favorite lenses all packed up and ready to explore the outdoors in both Finland and Estonia. Current reports coming in from my friends who are currently there are reporting temperatures between -20 and -25 degrees Celsius!
