Beyond Arctic Team

Emilia

She grew up in a small village in central Finland where she grew up in the middle of forest and nature. She has a deep rooted connection to nature, that passion has been a lifestyle for her from the very beginning. Her love and appreciation for Finnish nature is contagious and invaluable, it rubs off on everyone around her, guests and fellow guides alike. Emilia always makes her guests feel at ease with her kind and friendly personality.

She honed her wilderness skills by studying to be a wilderness and nature guide in northern Lapland. She’s been into photography for the last 5 years and she’s still studying to learn more about different fields of photography.

Her favorite excursions with Beyond Arctic are Riisitunturi and back country skiing.

Her hobbies besides photography are long hiking trips into the most remote parts of Finland, and any other outdoor stuff all year round. Her indoor hobbies are knitting and other handcrafts.

“I enjoy that I can spend my work days outdoors in the fresh air and being active. I like that the days are sometimes physically demanding. I want to offer a memorable moment in nature for my guests, and show them the beauty of Finnish nature. I consider my work well done if I can get someone to see how valuable the nature around us is and how we should respect and protect it. And combining all this with photography is a win-win for me!”
